Forgot to mention, the fact that proceeds are going to a local charity is fantastic

It may take a while to warm to as it is very different. I loved last year's and bought it. This one I'm unsure if I will buy it... But I probably

It is a very very nice smart kit, a big well done to the young designer who deserves a lot of credit for his achievment and should ignor the critics who I suspect can only dream they had his talents!

Absolutely pathetic that a grown adult would take to social media to slag off a kit designed by a child . This world never ceases to amaze me but this is low , very low !!!

I'm not fussed about footy shirts and never wear them, but I'd make an exception for that one, especially given that it's for charity.

I think it's very smart.

From the GTFC website

“I think the colour is very nice and I don’t think we’ve ever had the Dock Tower on a shirt before. We had planned to make the Dock Tower pattern more predominant, but we had to follow the guidelines stipulated by the EFL.”

Please note that the sublimated Dock Tower pattern is very faint and that’s why it isn’t visible on the promotional photographs.

I would post the original final design he did on GranthamMariner’s PC, but as the shorts and socks colour hasn’t been disclosed by the club yet I might be breaking an unofficial NDA.

I’ll give you a clue. They’re either both blue, both grey or one of each colour.

On Archie’s design the dock tower pattern was much more prominent like the netting pattern on the red away shirt, but it had to be toned down to pass FA regulations.

Close up the shirt is more or less the same tone of grey as the Jarvis away shirt from the disastrous 2003/04 season which always looked more off white in photos and on tv than it really was.

Archie read through some of the social media relies to the launch and was happy with the many positive replies and didn’t take it personal from the grown men who don’t like it and voiced that opinion. He’s old enough to know some people (always men) take pleasure in being unkind.

In fact he pointed out to me that the competition brief was that the kit couldn’t include any black, white or red so the comments saying it’s not Town colours are ridiculous.

I wonder if our red away kit was already decided last summer then. I wondered if we chose the third kit before the away kit otherwise kids designing red kits would have been instantly disqualified.

It's a shame Dock Tower can't be prominently displayed, the Dortmund home kit was designed by a fan and features their stadium which I think looks really smart.

I would be interested to see how the design differs from end product after all of the bureaucratic hoops have been jumped through.
