Sporting Gijón's 2011-2012 kit preview?

Sporting announced back in May that Kappa, the Italian sport company, would dress the Asturian team for three years, effective the summer of the 2011-2012 season. Kappa previously dressed Valencia CF. The official presentation is expected in July.

The first kit (see middle shirt in the photo above), is in the traditional striped red and white motif. The stripes are a bit narrower, but still do not veer to far from the historical kit, Sporting fans know and love.

The second kit (see shirt on the left side) uses red as it's base with a gold trim around the collar and on the left sleeve. The gold strip is on the top left side. It runs down the neck and shoulder to the sleeve on the short sleeved version and runs down the side of the shirt as well, on the long sleeve version. Very smart looking in my opinion.

The third kit (see shirt on the right side of the photo above) replaces the blue kit from this season. The jersey is white with two horizontal red stripes that cross the chest.

The kits are designed in the Kappa style and remind me quite a bit of AS Roma's kit with a very smart and attractive look. The local region Gijón/Asturias continues to be the main sponsor of the team.

Kappa also released this cool sketch of David Barral in the first kit, Miguel de las Cuevas in the second kit and Nacho Cases in the third kit in classic poses from this past season.



All three are extremely cool and smart. I really like these jerseys. What do you think?
