The overall design is very similar from last year's sets. One of the biggest changes is the removal of the "armpit stripes," shoulder blade circle that muddied the jersey designs, and short stripes. The sleeve cuffs and short leg cuffs were enlarged and changed from white to orange - on the blue kits - and the collar now is contrasting the body of the jersey.
While the noted changes helped with the overall flow of the kits, the best change was made to the sash stripes. The old set featured stripes that didn't follow the correct Northwestern Stripe design, rather having a large center stripe and extremely tiny outer stripes. The stripe has been fixed to a better ratio, a truer Northwestern Stripe, and looks tremendously better.

Team photo day was recently, so we only got a chance to see the blue team and orange goal keeper kits. It's interesting to see that the goal keepers got the new design in time with the team, as they just got the striped sash kits last season, a full year after the rest of the team originally received the new design. Looks like we'll have to wait til the season starts to have a look at the white kits and see any other changes made.
