“When O’Neills got a remit for the new 2017 keeper kit along the lines of ‘something psychedelic that will draw the eye of the opposition’, our designers were in seventh heaven! It has been great working Barry and the rest of the team on this and we’re delighted that the club are happy with the resulting design; we hope the supporters, and oncoming opposition, are suitably dazzled by it.”So here's what they came up with. https://twitter.com/wwfcofficial/status/882883885260050433 While both shirts may look like they were designed to be gaudy for the sake of being gaudy, Wanderers coach Barry Richardson assured everyone that they're not just fashion statements.

Time will tell whether these kits check both boxes.
