Championship side Queens Park Rangers announced that Dryworld would be their preferred kit supplier in April and the Canadian sportswear manufacturer has wasted no time in coming up with their interpretation of the R’s strips.
QPR finished well off the promotion pace last season and manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is in the process of rebuilding his squad in an industry where time is a more precious commodity that money.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS 2016/17 HOME KIT
This is the Queens Park Rangers home kit for the 2016/17 season.
It’s been almost sixty years since QPR last lined up in a non-blue hooped home kit; next season is no different. It’s a straightforward template from Dryworld, appreciably so. The collar is a cut v-shape, predominantly red but with thin blue and white bands. The same pattern is effective on the cuffs.
The shorts and socks are white, with blue trim on the bottom of each leg on the shorts. A thin blue band is evident on the turnover of the socks.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS 2016/17 AWAY KIT
This is the away kit Queens Park Rangers will wear during the 2016/17 season.
At first glance you might be forgiven for thinking it’s a white with black hoops design. On closer inspection, the away kit is blue with black stripes. That’s duck blue, not mid or sky blue but duck blue.
The template is the same as the home kit, replacing the royal blue and white with duck blue and black. The collar, a squared v-neck, is black as are the cuffs. The bands at the bottom of each leg of the shorts and the top of socks, are similarly coloured.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS 2016/17 THIRD KIT
This is the third kit Queens Park Rangers will wear during the 2016/17 season.
It’s one life’s five certainties – and that’s a growing list – but QPR wearing hoops is a definite. This time, the third kit is thin yellow hoops on a burgundy shirt. The collar is the same style as the home and away kits, a squared off v-neck. coloured yellow, it matches the sleeve cuffs.
The shorts follow the same template as the other kits in the range, this time burgundy with yellow bands – dare we say hoops again – at the bottom of each leg. The socks have yellow band at the top contrasting with the burgundy.
It’s an interesting range and we can only assume that thicker yellow hoops, similar to the home and away kits, simply didn’t work. Perhaps it was too garish although QPR may have appreciated if it dazzled the opposition.
