New kit

Quoted from Madeleymariner

I really liked the 93 Ciba shirt but kit ruined by not having red socks

None of the kits in the 90's had red socks though, unless you count red at the top as being red. Never really got the thing about us needing to play in red socks, it's not even been a majorly common pattern historically. My only guess is that a good majority of regulars here started following town in the 70's as kids and have fond memories of regularly having red socks in the kit. It went away in the early 80's and never came back except the odd season until 10 years ago.

Just realised why I really don't like that home strip. It looks like it was designed by a 7 year old who was making  a black strip and got bored of colouring in half way down do added some tripes to it to save having to do all the colouring in

yeah guess it could be worse, at least no red socks, blacks is bad....but hey ho each to their own

I can't say I'm impressed by any of the kits and what are those arrows pointing to on the 3rd kit

I love the anger this has caused! Roll on the footy starting so we can have something important to get angry about.

Where is the anger, surely people can have a view on the new kit as they do every time a new one comes out?

Anger would imply people are saying it’s excrement and being vitriolic towards the club, I think people have just shared their views.

My personal view is once again Errea have delivered a poor kit but then in reality, I think clubs and kit manufacturers know, as with anything football related, they’ll still shift units.

Look at all those fools who parted with their cash, some fo which were grown men and wore them, when Manure released that monstrosity of a Grey kit, or the pink one from last year or the year before. Perhaps this is why kit manufacturers are delivering uninspiring kits.

Some will like the kits and that’s their opinion. I buy a home shirt every year although I’ve missed a couple of errea ones out becauee I didn’t like them. I’ll pick this one up at the end of the season in the sale. Others will purchase it on the day it’s released.

Personally, if I’m dropping 50quid in the club shop right now I’d be buying the retro Nisa kit.

bit harsh, i bought the pink shirt as it was a novelty, and it went down a real hit with fans

Anyone know if they usually start selling tracksuits etc around the same time as kits get released? I need some new tracky bottoms...would like to give the club my money if poss but there's none on sale at the mo.

Quoted from Poojah

This one gets thrown out every year, and I have to say, I don't really get it. I can't think of a shirt style that lends itself to variation more than stripes.

You can change the width of the stripes, plain sleeves / stripey sleeves, plain back / stripey back, solid stripes / fades, pinstripes, mix up the collar, and so on. We're able to go with either red, black or white socks as well without there being too much bed wetting.

Certainly more license for creativity than say, Liverpool or Leeds, whose kits are pretty much always going to be a solid colour right the way through. I'd actually say Errea have given us some very different kits over the years, I just don't think this year's is very good. That's a personal thing, others seem to like it, just too much black for me. Particularly from the side / back.

You say that, but whenever any kit supplier has dared to change the thickness of the stripes, added faded stripes or generally gone away from the very traditional black and white stripes it has been met with some hostility.  Going back a long way but the, now popular, Ciba pinstripe one wasn't all that popular at the time, but there was little point of ringing Clubcall in 1993 to tell a recorded message of your dislike.

Probably is harder to do anything with Leeds or Liverpool kits, or any other club with just one colour.  But I'm struggling to think of any club that's got a great deal of scope to change it from season to season.

That all said, the pic you've put up from the side is the first I've looked at from that angle and I'm less keen.
