Official: RCD Espanyol 2015-16 Joma Home & Away Kits
Spanish outfit RCD Espanyol have officially launched their new home and away kits for the 2015-16 season.
With PUMA supplying their 2014-15 kits, the new kits for the Barcelona-based outfit are supplied by Spanish brand Joma. The new home shirt again uses the club’s trademark thick banded white and blue striped design with the stripes slightly thinner than last season’s home shirt.
A subtle blue and white pinstriped design is seen on the sleeve cuffs and back of the collar while the sleeves are mostly blue with an additional white panel under the arms. A simple blue v-neck collar is used while teh Catalan flag is placed on the upper back of the shirts under the collar. The new home kit is completed with blue shorts and white socks.
The new away shirt for Espanyol uses a different kit template which uses a unique Y-neck collar design. The primary colour of the shirt is red while a blue and white hooped panel is seen on the front of the shirt in a nod to the club’s home colours. An additional darker tone of red is seen on the collar while the Catalan colours red and yellow are used as the pinstriped design left sleeve while a blue and white striped design is seen on teh right sleeve.
The new away kit is completed with red shorts and socks with darker red trim on the outline of the shorts and a special white parakeet logo is printed at the top of the shorts.
Begrudgingly I really like these kits I especially admire the away shirt, even the blue & white chest band works well & doesn’t look out of place.
