Are these the kits Albion will be wearing next season as they bid to secure an instant return to the Premier League?

Grainy images have appeared online appearing to show the strips that Baggies will wear in the 2020/21 campaign.

The logos of manufacturers Puma and sponsors Ideal Heating are both included on the jersey – while another picture online appears to show a player in the kit.

The design of the strips has received a mixed response from supporters.

Albion are expected to play in blue and white stripes – with the thickness of those stripes tending to change each season.

But the design of the new top – if the leaked image is correct – is based on a thick navy blue stripe down the middle with shorter, narrower, white stripes either side.

The sleeves are also navy but have a red trim at the bottom.

The away kit has also received a mixed reception from fans. Instead of being the traditional yellow and green stripes, the top is predominately yellow and has a striking resemblance to a kit Arsenal wore in the early 1990s.

The third strip, meanwhile, is is predominantly black but has a grey chequered pattern.

It also has a red trim.

Fan Chris Smith said: “Look good, for those saying the away kit should always be yellow and green have you forgot about the fact we had a yellow away kits in the 60’s, 70,’s 80’s and 90’s. Good to mix it up.”

Steve Rose said: “Love the home kit, reminds me of the 1976 kit, the year of my first game sat on my Dad’s lap.”

But Graham Hill wasn’t so keen. He said: “Not only the stripes have gone but also the iconic yellow and green – shocking.

“Probably sums up a lot about the club at present if these are confirmed.”
