‘No wonder Powell left’ – A number of Wigan fans react to new kit reveal
Wigan Athletic have become the latest Championship side to reveal their kit for the upcoming 2019/20 campaign.
Taking to Twitter on Friday morning, the Latics, who finished 18th in the Championship in their first season back in the second tier following promotion from League One, revealed the kits in a behind the scenes video of the photoshoot for the new look involving several of the club’s players.
Both home and away kits appear to have changed significantly from last year.
The home, which had carried a blue torso with white sleeves and green trim, is now all blue except for half green sleeves and vertical white pinstripes, while the away kit – which has been a shade of yellow with light blue pinstripes – has undergone a more noticeable change, becoming an all red shirt with a dark hexagonal pattern in the background and partly black sleeves.

Hmmm… Can't decide whether they're class or the worst thing I've ever seen
