The new QPR home kit comprises of a classic hooped, pure blue and white shirt with some additional touches – including the front of shirt sponsor Convivia logo transformed from gold into white.

As a result, the T-Energy shirts offer the perfect combination of maximum performance and increased safety for all players and fans of QPR.

Fabrizio Taddei, Head of Pro Clubs Development for Errea confirmed: “We are delighted to be launching another fantastic set of kits, ready for the 2022/23 season. As ever we have worked very closely with the club to design and produce kits that we and they are very proud of. I would like to wish all the Hoops Staff, Players, and Fans the very best of luck for next season.”

Euan Inglis, Commercial Director of QPR added: We are delighted with this season’s kits, the home shirt is a modern take on the classic QPR home shirt with a thin tramline, which runs parallel to the traditional hoops. The letter and numbers will also return to red this season. The away shirt is a hooped design in navy and berry colours, with a striking gold piping and gold tramlines that run parallel to the hoops.“

We are delighted with the positive response we have received to date and now look forward to being part of the club for this next three-year term.“
