2010/11 · Third

Errea dressed the centenary of a farewell: one hundred years after QPR swapped their original green and white for the blue and white of 1926, the 2025/26 third shirt brings back the founding hoops, now bathed in gold, on the collar, the embroidered crest, Copybet on the chest and MyGuava on the sleeve. The secrets live inside: 100 Years at the neck and the THE.N.NOW.FOREVER.QPR tape stitching past to future, all in recycled fabric from the Future line.

It served a season with no stories for the grandchildren, a 15th place finish in the Championship, but that was never its purpose: this shirt is a bow, a century overdue, to the colours that gave birth to the club.

Here at Hoopster it converses with the Lotto of 2010/11: two returns to green fifteen years apart, and proof that there are colours a club never fully takes off.
