Leicester fans fume over new kit as Adidas start selling identical shirt without club badge for 15

LEICESTER CITY fans are raging over their new white away kit - because of its similarity to a 15 shirt from Adidas. The kit manufacturer latest jersey release, priced at 55, appears similar to an alternative top they sell called the Regista but with the Foxes' badge and sponsor included.

LEICESTER CITY fans are raging over their new white away kit - because of its similarity to a £15 shirt from Adidas.

The kit manufacturer latest jersey release, priced at £55, appears similar to an alternative top they sell  called the Regista but with the Foxes' badge and sponsor included.

Leicester have already unveiled their traditional blue home kit, while also going with a grey strip when playing away.

But their latest jersey has come under fire for its simplicity and likeness to a cheaper training top from the German manufacturers.

Some have hinted that it was rushed to be ready in time for the new season, with the Premier League campaign kicking off in eight days' time.

While the difference in price was an obvious criticism with Adidas charging four times more for Leicester's new strip, compared to their Regista top.

Adidas Boss: “You completed that Leicester City project I gave you? Season starts in 8 days?”

Adidas Intern: “What Project?”

Adidas Boss: “The Leicester City third kit one...”

Their three kits this season are the first set in a new deal, having been with Puma for the past five years.

But those expecting to see Leicester in their new white strip may be sorely disappointed.

The Foxes' classic blue home kit will only clash with six teams for the forthcoming season, with their grey away jersey likely to be used on each occasion.

The King Power Stadium outfit will begin the new Premier League campaign against Manchester United in the first game of the new season.
