..New strip. I like it. Started buying keeper jerseys as I’ve been advised to cover up.

Good to see that they have gone with black socks

From the pics we saw of the friendly games so far, they looked grey

No. He’s just telling Dyche to pencil him in for Saturday.

He looks very dapper in that kit, I can't resist being reminded of this classic tune from the 90's. :)

We will be wearing the 2nd kit at Anfield in two weeks time so they will need to reveal it by then.

Looks nice but for me, I prefer green and yellow shirts. Having said that, I remember Brian Jensen modelling a white number or two way back when (not the silver or grey ones).

i remember Peter Shilton wearing a white top.
I'm sure he said it made is position in goal too obvious to anyone shooting from distance.

Maybe some red silk panties would set it off better?

Note the gloves. I was looking at a replay of The Big Match from 1977 and if goalkeepers wore gloves they were just cotton gloves. Mervyn Day of West Ham didn't wear gloves at all.

Looks like a pyjama top, but anything that stops grown men wearing football shirts when not playing is a good move, even more so when it comes to wearing a goalkeeper top down to the pub/match

I remember us playing at home to Coventry (who wore green and black away kit). Alan Stevenson (green top) had to wear a white tee shirt and Bill Glazier (red top) had to wear a white tee shirt 🤷🤷🤷

I think keepers should wear prominent colours, with a design which makes it look like they fill the goal.

The striker sees the colour and subconsciously shoots at them rather than past them.

Given what Sean has been saying recently, it doesn't sound as though Popey will be available for at least the first couple of games.

At least Klopp will be pleased.

Can't remember the team but there was recently a goalkeeper shirt with a bright swirling pattern on the front.
Apparently this acted as a target to the opponent about to shoot and would subconsciously aim for it making the shot easier to save

It is not a good goalkeeper look. He looks invisible and he was!

Imposing vibrant colours are a must, so the ball is attracted.
