West Bromwich Albion are still sitting on their hands when it comes to their kit release.

The Baggies have returned to pre-season training as James Morrison takes charge of his first full campaign in charge.

With the way that the year ended under the former midfielder, there are high hopes moving forward.

That has been helped by an early influx of new signings, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan, Barney Stewart and Matt Ingram coming in.

Contract extensions have also been sealed for Ousmane Diakite and Callum Styles at The Hawthorns.

As great as those announcements have been, the B71 faithful are still waiting patiently for their kit as the next big news.

When could West Brom release their new kits?

There are certain things that supporters can look forward to even when club football is on ice for the summer.

New signings are one of those, but one thing that fans always look ahead to is the release of new kits.

The Baggies are yet to launch theirs despite being back in pre-season training.

That has left many to question when they could be shared, with many hoping that the start of July will mean they are just days away.

Last seasons away shirt came out on 9 July last year and in 2024, the home shirt was revealed on 3 July.

It may have been made available in late June 12 months ago, but it hasn't followed suit this time around.

That could see at least one of the new shirts release within days now that July is underway after fans have waited patiently in B71.

West Brom can follow suit in the Championship with kit release

The Baggies may have released their home strip this time last year, but it's safe to say that it underwhelmed.

Supporters will be hoping for a better effort this year, especially with it taking longer to be released.

It appears that a large number of Championship are in the same boat as Albion.

Only nine home kits have been released in the entire division, with just one away shirt known at this stage.

West Brom aren't on their own in being slow with their kit announcement, but they could soon launch now that 30 June has passed.
