Burnley Football Club revealed the official Puma home kit to be worn for the 2012/13 npower Championship season.
The Burnley PUMA Power shirt is inspired by a return to the style of historic football shirts but with a distinctively modern look and feel. The 1950's design has been reworked to deliver an antidote to the over-designed, complicated kits of today.
The home kit, incorporating the new sponsor Premier Range Kitchen Appliances, features a broad blue stripe across the chest, incorporating the distinctive club crest and Puma logo.

The V-neck collar has blue trim, and the sleeves of both the short and long-sleeved versions carry claret trim.
Burnley will also wear blue shorts for the first time since the 1980, which carry claret panels on both sides.
The kit is completed by blue socks, with a claret band.
This full kit will be available in-store early June.

Nope, Villa were the first.
Because our Kit is claret and blue.. always has always will be..
The green shirts first appeared in 1900. Before that, Burnley wore various colours, including pink and white stripes.
#embarrassing
Are white socks more traditional than the claret and blue that preceded them?
The sponsor mingles with shirt in a very harmonious way, it's not too loud, not too out of the position.
Plus, the shirt template and design is concise and neat, gotta say, this is one of the best shirts I have encountered for a while. GJ Puma.
West Ham first wore claret and blue in 1897
Aston Villa first wore claret and blue in 1887.
As Aston Villa were the biggest club in the world at the time and invented League Football I think it's safe to say that anyone other than Villa who wears claret and blue are nothing more than kit stealers.
Interestingly, with Villa being the top dogs in England the claret and blue became popular there but not really anywhere else (a few clubs copied the design abroad but not to the level it took off in England).
Hi,
Sorry to be pedantic, but Nottingham Forest FC (founded 1865) have worn red since their foundation (a shade of red based on the Italian general Garribaldi, meaning that is it's proper name)- only Stoke and Notts County are older (in terms of league teams), so therefore, if you count all the teams who call themselves 'reds', only Forest have true claim to the nickname (Stoke play in red but have always been the Potters).
Sorry about that, but we Forest fans have to have something to hold onto while we're piddling around at the arse end of the Championship!
PS Nice kit - I wish Forest would switch to Puma, or failing that a return to adidas. Umbro kits for the last six or seven years have been mostly pants.
Trabzonspor took its colors from Aston Villa. The club president brought along Villa kits from a trip to England, took off the emblem and put Trabzonspor's logo on it. Some years ago, Trabzon and Villa used to have the same kits (Nike). A wonderful color combination and I am very thankful to Villa for being the first ones to use it on their kits.
Now, that is funny.
i work for puma.
my brief: a classic kit; claret shirt, sky blue sleeves, white shorts and sky blue socks.
i wonder how much i can f*ck up this simple brief?
p*ma... shithouse

Nice and simple, and I'm sick of the traditionalists always moaning when we don't have claret top with blue sleeves and white shorts. It was the same when Errea made a kit a few years back with claret and blue down one of the sides.
It's nice to have something different every now and then, rather than having the same boring kit year in year out. Like Blackburn.
I like it, I'll be buying it, budget provided.
Can the 09\10 prem kit be beaten?, its about as close to perfect as I think we'll ever see IMO
Bring on the away kit
Would be nicer with just "Premier".
Bit of a Catch 22 there.
