Wales will go into their first major tournament in more than 50 years full of optimism, and seemingly with a kit that recalls their last golden era.
The pared-down red home kit, apparently leaked on social media, is nice and simplistic.
It hearkens back to the 1958 World Cup, and we’re sure it will sell well among this generation’s fans.

The reaction on social media has been broadly positive.
This is destined to be the best-selling Wales kit of all time. It will be an absolute classic in future years. pic.twitter.com/oU0rYOuOvs

So, the new Wales kit. Classic. Traditional. Etc. Prefer the current one, though, for its splash of colour. Also like red shorts, not white

Though one or two were less impressed.
Wales qualify for their first tournament in almost 60 years and that kit is the best adidas could come up with? Disappointed.
