You can see what was attempted here with the diamond pattern but it doesn’t quite work.
What appears to be an ironed on club crest might not go down well with fans either.

Unveiled | Our home and away kits for 2019-20 🔵⚪
Produced by our new Technical Partner @MacronSports, we proudly reveal our iconic blue and white hoops for the new campaign, as well as our new black and burgundy away strip.
— Reading FC (@ReadingFC) July 25, 2019
A pretty bog standard shirt from the Royals but one plus side is the smart collar.
22. Millwall
#Millwall's 2019/20 home kit, produced by @MacronSports and sponsored by @HuskiChocolate, is available to pre-order from Saturday…

The bands of blue around the arms just don’t quite work for us.

Very pleasing red trim on the shorts and nice hooped socks, but poor sponsoring on the shirt and an unimaginative collar gives it a plain look from the outset.

The Blackburn home shirt is iconic but Umbro could have done a lot more with it this season.
The sponsor logo looks out of line and the shade of blue seems a little off.

A nice idea with the different shades of blue on the sleeve but ultimately a little basic from adidas. It could have been better.

The Puma design looks stylish and the sponsors looks decent on the shirt but the black patch on the sleeves let it down.

A very different kit for the Addicks and it’s sure to blow hot and cold with fans.
The subtle white stripes look great but the colour of the sponsor makes it look messy.

Very similar to last season and still looks neat and tidy.
adidas could perhaps have been slightly more adventurous but it’s a safe and sound jersey.

Very stylish white pin stripes, which blend beautifully with the darker shade of blue – but some may feel the green trim on the sleeves and collar is a tad too bold.

A big upgrade from last season with nice detail on the shirt.
The sponsor could be a tad smaller, mind you.

It’s difficult to do too much with a white shirt, but it does have a nice black stripe down the side and stylish trim to the collar.
12. Bristol
What’s not to love?! ❤️
The crest looks strong on the 2019/20 home shirt.

Lovely sponsor design and the simplistic colouring actually works in this instance.

There isn’t always a lot you can do with blue and white hoops but they’ve pulled it off.
A fantastic retro collar with the gold trim makes this a winner.

A big improvement from last season’s number with the sharp geometric design on the shoulder. Very smart indeed.

A lovely design with the white patterning on the chest giving it an alternative feel.
Hummel have done well with some of their strips this season.

A smart design to mark the club’s centenary year and the gold under the crest looks classy.
Promotion in this strip would be perfect.

The Baggies stick to the basics and emerge with a very smart kit.
The sponsor’s logo could be improved, though, as it looks a tad bulky.

The addition of a black collar is very nice and the stripes are fairly well spaced apart.
A lovely Umbro logo makes this a top kit.

The Terriers’ kit looks slick and beautiful.
The stripes have a subtle black trim that add to the detail of the shirt. It’s a brilliant design and no sponsor only adds to that.

A bold design from Umbro but it goes down well in our books.

Black blends well the traditional tangerine colouring but there may be doubts with how it will look from the stands.

An absolutely stunning kit with a beautifully retro feel to it due to its lack of a sponsor. 10/10.
