Bristol City fans are hoping they have a year to remember, as they continue to fight to secure a play-off spot in the Championship and the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

Off the field though, it's also a time to savour as the club are celebrating their 125-year anniversary which, as is customary for many sides, includes a commemorative kit.

Optimism for a classic shirt was present for a number of supporters but, following the grand reveal on Thursday and the opportunity to pre-order the shirt, it's fair to say the majority were disappointed.

According to bcfc.co.uk, the design is based around nine different kits dating back to the club's 1894 birthdate.

The shirt, to put it kindly, is certainly unique, featuring a smart collar and three sets of double stripes down to chest level which, if that continued across the shirt, would probably have looked decent.

Instead though, the shirt - which will be worn against Fulham at Ashton Gate on March 7 - is left between looking like a weird modern art piece that nobody would ever understand and something a toddler would create with PVA glue and safety scissors.

The sponsor is hardly subtle, although on the junior version 'Dunder' is replaced by 'Robins' and, beneath that the patchwork design has left many confused.

It was announced on a big day for Bristol Sport where designs for the new £100m Ashton Gate sports and convention centre were unveiled and the decision was announced for Hummel to manufacture the first-team kit for next season.

Unsurprisingly, this sparked plenty of responses on social media and we have gathered some of them below.

Justin Carter: "Soccer AM going to have fun with this."

Garry Bussell: "This should’ve been left on the floor."
