Revealed for the very first time in 'Hoops' - your official matchday programme - QPR donned their new home kit for the 2011/12 season in the opening day clash with Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
The strip was designed and manufactured by Lotto Sport Italia - QPR's Technical Sponsor and Official Kit Supplier since 2008 - with both Lotto and the Club working in close collaboration to produce the R's new home jersey.
From a stylistic point of view, the kit perfectly represents the Club's tradition and history thanks to the continuous reflex blue and white horizontal hoops.
The back of the collar hosts the commemorative embroidery of the 125 years since the Club's formation in 1886, when St. Jude's Institute merged with Christ Church Rangers.
The final part of the sleeves is enriched by an elegant silver piping and the Club's emblem is presented on the chest in a high definition patch.
The home kit's shorts are all-white and enriched by the Club's emblem on the front part and by the double diamond on both lateral sides.
From a functional point of view, the kit combines lightness and breathability with a comfortable and ergonomic fit thanks to the Poly Double Mesh 10, an elasticated fabric ideal even in the most challenging phases of the game.
As per Lotto's tradition, there's also great attention to detail. The England flag sits inside of the shirt and the Club's emblem is processed with Lextra, which offers a special 3D effect.

TBH mate...I really don't think anyone cares.....
you're commenting on a kit for an english team, therefore it's wally.
A shirt without a sponsor is simply better than a shirt with a sponsor. Period.
This shirt looks awesome and classy, and way better than it did when it had gulf air.com emblazoned on it.
All you need.
Another thing is the current QPR crest, which is nice, but not as nice as the old OPR logotype, which was one of the best in English football. Perhaps on the back of the shirt next season?
Gospel.
correct
What's the next exclusive FSC?

Nice kit (apart from the huge lotto badge on the arm) - QPR is a classic design and looks better for the absence of a sponor.
Any artical looking at the cost of football shirts.
Shame.
The word from Tony Fernandes on the official website is that they aren't looking for a sponsor. He went on to say that if they are desperate for sponsorship then, yes, they'll go with Air Asia.
Love the simple shirt and glad the hooped arms are back but not keen on the Birmingham-esque white bip on top of the shirt, which looks awful from behind :(
I hope no sponsor. But the team will eventually need some extra cash, so we'll see one, but lets hope they can sell these shirts as is, so we can get a hold of some clean ones like this.
i dont like the current qpr badge either but i saw an interview with the new chairman on sky sports news and he said he was up for the club getting the old crest back if thats what fans wanted.. seems like a decent bloke!
concerning the red lotto logos....several years ago when they made for juventus the fiat s ceo and juventus chairman disliked the logos so much that lotto had to cover them with a yellow patch
Yes, the old crest would be fantastic. He seems like the dream chairman we've been wanting after so many years of utter chaos. I have to pinch myself just to see if I'm not dreaming!
