- the first time (that I know of) we were ever linked with a zig-zag diamond pattern, it happened in 2010/11
- the first time we heard rumors of a full red away jersey it came true in 2012/13
- the first time we were linked with a pinstripe design, it happened in 2014/15
- the first time they considered a stripes of different thickness, it happened in 2017/18
- the first time there were rumors about diagonal stripes was this year and it happened this season with that horrendous diagonal middle section. This season is also the first time our stripes have been 'broken' by that middle section too.
All these concepts were rumored from very early. All the early leaked images verified the rumors and all of them happened to be 99% accurate in the end. In fact, I can't remember the last time there was any difference between the early leaks and the finished product.
Unfortunately, it seems they keep messing with the home kit and trying all this new bullshit "for the first time".
I hope you're right too. Just saying. And btw, that Tuttosport article is not the first mention of zig-zag stripes. There's been a few rumors about it circulating from even last season. Given the incredible accuracy and consistency of leaks in the past decade, I have to assume this diagonal bullshit is true, sadly.
