Here is the new Sunderland home kit designed by Umbro for the 2011/2012 Premier League season, which will be available here.
The new kit is due to be launched on the 22nd of May, a day before the last game of the season, so it seems quite likely the kit will be first used here.
The kit itself is pretty much what we've come to expect from Umbro in recent years, a basic looking kit but still retaining a lot of personality and identity. The kit will again be a red/white shirt and black shorts although the socks have been slightly modified and are now hooped in red and white rather than a solid colour.
The back of the shirt is where the design gets interesting. Rather than just a continuation of the stripes from the front at the shoulders, they seem to veer off course and create a V shape, which intentioanlly or unintentionally does look like a partial Umbro logo. Another change comes with the centre stipe of the shirt being swapped from white over to red, something Umbro did with their first shirt when their contract began in 2007 and also back in the late 70s.

It is a bit lazy though, very similar to the 2000-2002 home kit.
I would have liked to have seen a collar, perhaps something like the current rangers away shirt.
Only hope the Away is a little more interesting.
FTM
btw: new Germany Women Home Shirt
The top of the back is weird, but the shirt is beautiful.
To think that Toon is with Puma.......I miss Adidas.......
that the double diamonds is the Umbro logo, right?
I didnt write that, friend thought he was funny :L
On the kit, very smart, the back is a bit odd, but atleast they've made some originality out of red and white stripes.
Apart from that area, the kit is nice and simple, just like every other Umbro kit. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just making a statement.
i thought it´s MAGNUM
But could aswell be " EL TRIGRE"....

To the people saying its similar to kits of previous years, what do you expect? Your limited on what you can do with striped kits. One of the downsides of releasing a new kit every season.
UMBRO design department hard at work!!!
Not one nice kit for Sunderland in 5 years!! Rangers away shit would have been perfect
That's just the angle the photo is taken at you melon
I don't understand what you mean. Please explain you grapefruit.
I think what Statto 74 means is that the angle of the photo is such that light is reflecting in away to only appear that there are stripes on the sock.
If you look closely on the last picture of the long sleeved top you find no stripe on the sock. Hope this has cleared things up
It certainly has helped me out as I too was having trouble with the sock issue. Where I think we can all agree is that it is vital to ensure that we enjoy our 5 portions of fruit each day.
Err no, what I am saying is you can only see below the white band on the right sock due to the positioning of the photographer. Plum!
Are you sure those aren't two different types of socks as the one on the left has an Umbro logo but I can't see it on the one on the right?
I think you're mistaken it's an old photography trick called 'Premonitory' Pineapples
and this is coming from a Gooner.
love the umbro logo...
Europa league for the scum! You must be joking, you sad cave dwelling moron.
Love the black collar and cuffs, very reminiscent of our 2000-2002 Nike home kit.
Oh, and to the morons that clearly follow Newcastle on here commenting that 'Mackems r shite' and 'Europa league for the scum', et al....Take a look at the current table, you muppets. Last I looked, we were still above your rabble in the league.
Check again
Check again yourself, Sunderland top dogs yet again!!
