Sunderland revealed their new home and away kits for the new season today and the fan response has been very positive.

The kit sees a return to the Black Cats' classic designs, with broader red stripes and a round neck as were desired by the fans.

The home kit also has interchangeable shorts to avoid kit clashes and the away kit is all black with red trim on the shirt and shorts.

The kit announcement offers a rare moment of positivity for the Mackem fans.

The North East club finished rock bottom of the Championship last season in one of the worst campaigns the club has ever experienced just a year after they finished bottom of the Premier League.

It is a wise choice of kit, harking back to the more successful days for the club. It seems to have brought some positivity to a fan base who have not had much to cheer about recently and that could be valuable.

But for now here are the best responses to Sunderland's kit reveal.
