'Absolutely superb', 'a throwback' - Doncaster Rovers fans full of praise for new home kit

Doncaster Rovers have released their new home strip for the 2026-27 campaign.

The striking shirt is loosely based on the kit from 20 years ago, when Rovers enjoyed a memorable 2006-07 season as they lifted the EFL Trophy and made the move to their new stadium after leaving Belle Vue.

The new shirt is now on sale and plenty of fans have snapped it up. The shirt boasts crisper red-and-white hoops with a gold trim and a return of red shorts and socks.

Here, we look at what some fans are saying about it....
