Usually, Rovers fans would be waiting until late Autumn to get their
mitts on the new replica shirt; traditionally abandoned at the back of
Umbro's production line behind Manchester City baby-grows and a small child's
England shirt for Gazza.
Alas, in addition to the early summer launch of the uninspiring, yet traditional home and away jerseys, comes the bumbled launch of a white third strip for the 2012/13 season.

Rovers' three major transfer coups: Danny Murphy, Leon Best and Nuno Gomes were on hand to model the new strips, which have a particularly blue and white flavour this time around. It may be bad news for parents and slightly confusing for others, but it's a nice touch that the team will be represented in blue and white wherever they play this season.
