Athletic Club 2011-2012 first kit revealed

After all the craptastic disasters Nike (who owns Umbro BTW) has designed this season, I didn't have high expectations about the new first kit for the team, specially not after the beautiful ikurriña-based shirt that is our away kit.

Well, I was proven wrong.

The new kit keeps the same red and white lines, without any electric based theme (yes Real Sociedad, I'm looking at you), last season's shirt had a polo neck, this time it is a deep collar in black, the sleeves also have some black on them, Petronor keeps being the sponsor (€2.5M/year).





The shorts keep being black, with the Umbro brand embroidered in gold and the club's shield, both opposite to the placement in the shirt's design.



The best part was the socks though, many of us didn't like the black socks so we were very happy to see how the original txurigorri socks made a triumphant return.



The goalkeeper's kit is completely light grey with black collar and cuffs.

What do you think of the kit? I quite like it and it has a refreshing old school style, reminiscent of the last Liga won by the team.
