Villarreal have revealed their new home kit

For decades, the shirt has featured a minimalist yellow design.

Their recent Joma kits, in addition to previous designs by Xtep, Puma and Kelme have deviated little from their classic concept.

Although occasionally the strips have featured a little blue trim.

Their last to feature a significant difference was in the 2000-01 season, when the Kelme shirt featured plenty of blue.

But this year’s effort has gone away from the norm.

In a glossy kit reveal, the Yellow Submarine revealed that their new strip features a solid blue vertical stripe down its front.

The trailer showed a designer scribbling away on a piece of paper, while manically repeating “It’s always the same”;.

When they finished their work they added “This changes everything”; before the kit was revealed.

While a second quipped: “Thank goodness it says Villarreal because with such a big change I didn’t even know who you were.”;

A third commented: “I love.”;

Although another added: “What a disaster of a shirt, what I don’t understand is how a serious club like Villarreal continues with that brand...”;
