There’s a hidden exclusive in today’s online edition of the Bristol Post. Unknown to the fans and probably the club itself, the Post reveals<\/a> that Bristol Rovers<\/a> now play in “blue and white stripes<\/em>“, as shown by the following screenshot.<\/p>\n

For the benefit of passing Post journalists, here are the three strips currently used by Bristol Rovers. Please note the only stripes are on the alternative away colours and have one thin blue stripe. The pattern used on the regular strip is commonly known as “quarters<\/em>“.<\/p>\n
