I think there are at least 2 reasons they wouldn't.

1: As big as it would be sports new wise. Like, literally the only story happening other than the stoppages. It risks getting swallowed up In global pandemic news. With something like this, from a branding perspective you want the biggest splash possible and the longest trending topic you can get. Revealing now risks getting swallowed up as soon as the next country goes on full lock down.

2: They likely want to make an event out of it, which means a crowd, so.....not a great idea right now.

I think they could at the very least do a color reveal. Might not be much, but it's another bread crumb and step in the right direction, and yeah, a little bit of sunshine in these dreary days.

I am probably in the Minority on this, but while I would say MOST want the 73-99's, and 2nd most the 64-72's, my favorite style and the one I would want the new uni to look most like are the 57-63's.

Vintage 51, 57, 65, 72 and 79 would be fine or some variation not overly modernized. Of course they'll come up with some variation of the 2000 rags!!!

Damn, those 57-63s are sharp. Those would be great throwbacks to be worn a couple times of the year...at the very least.

Those are valid points.

The famous British humor..."humour" as I guess they would spell it...during The Blitz held the people together as they endured tough times, indeed. During WW II, Americans were concerned that the Japanese and/or Germans would attack the contiguous USA, yet people tried to maintain their lives as close to normal as possible.

Sporting events, school, laughing, etc all help to maintain normalcy. I don't see anything in bad taste about unveiling uniforms, logos or whatever. The Hunan Virus does not mean we crawl into a hole for 6 weeks.

Is that A-1 in those Waterfields?

I like those 50's as well. There not much to redeem from the Bradford's. Scrub that era all together...

Would have to be. It wouldn't make much sense to start a new line and have to change the colors a couple months later.
