Genuinely hope I have the winning formula. .

 

The curved stripes represent the River Don, a proud landmark we have at Hillsborough. The green backing on the crest, represents Sheffield as being the greenest city.

 

The gold trim, '150' and 'THE WEDNESDAY' behind the collar (not shown) are in relation to the big party afoot.

This city is ours.

I like the design and colour, not keen on the 'this city is ours' or the image of the city, if we are going for an image on the shirt, I would prefer it to be of the outside of our beautiful south stand.

Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

presume called quarters because it's 4 panels:  2 on front + 2 on back back = 

 

This is correct: " The term "quartered" was used to describe shirts or jerseys where the main body was made from four separate panels, such as worn by Newton Heath (shown here) and Blackburn Rovers, a design which became known as "halved" in the 1890s. The term "harlequin" was used to describe the pattern we now call "quartered" (as worn most famously and much later by Bristol Rovers). This confusion of terms is not just a challenge to modern chroniclers: various contemporary sketches published in newspapers of the time portray teams wearing "quarters" when photographic evidence indicates they were "halved." Blackburn Rovers persisted in describing their halved shirts as "quartered" until the outbreak of World War Two." See http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Articles/History.htm

 

That's a fascinating article, by the way. Among other things, we learn that:

 

"At the League AGM in 1904 (and again in 1906) the secretary of Liverpool FC put forward a proposal that would require every team in the competition to play in red shirts or jerseys and white knickers at home while visiting sides would wear white tops and dark knickers. The motion was defeated on both occasions."

Thanks for that. Clears up the confusion but still leaves that Historic Kits site with a little bit of editing to do then.

Couple of new ideas ...

 

First one, the stars represent our 4 top flight titles, with the gold trim/shorts as a representation of the anniversary ...

Second one is similar, but keeps our blue/black/white colours ...

As a 3rd kit, these two are stand outs for me. Especially the gold one.

 

Nice work @Karl
