I guess I go against the grain here. I like the colors of the leaked away jersey, but somehow they managed to make a black jersey look messy. It looks like they just threw random style elements at a black jersey and called it a day. The orange neck accent just looks out of place, and the shoulder stripes plus diagonal black stripes just looks weird.
I don't dislike it, but it actually makes me appreciate the simplicity of the home jersey, which I may prefer at this point despite its connotations.
I have a feeling they went diagonal to avoid the issues with the shoulder Adidas stripes. I agree that Drainyoo's design was cleaner.
And your point about simplicity is key. For a first home kit, you want simple and then you can play with that base design with future kits. Maybe add the orange neck accent next year; some stripes. Pinstripes one year, etc.
This is typical for Inaugural jerseys.
Drainyoo it's on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team.
You can purchase the kits and when you equip to the players it doesn't load so you can't get a good up close high quality image. It's definitely one of those leaked for publicity things, since the jerseys aren't even rendered to players, which I'm fine with

I made a mockup based on the screens posted from FIFAUT so we can drool in better quality. Hope this is it. Love the horizontal stripes.
