I'm not instantly repulsed so it's a decent kit for me. Not too busy, very traditional and a more subtle sponsor reminiscent of POCO, Multipart and Endsleigh. Could the blue shorts and socks mean we're getting an all white away kit?
I think we will see a set of both White and Claret shorts and socks to go with the sky we’ve already seen which of course then gives them many possible combinations - what the official away set will be I couldn’t say
The third kit is a standalone kit entirely different colour

It's an improvement and I couldn't care less about the colour of the socks or shorts personally.

Remember that game you use to play as a kid when, one person drew the head, folded the paper so you couldn't see it, passed to somebody else to draw the body, fold and pass to another for the legs, then you unfolded to see the results?
Is that what the designers did for this?

The sleeves look like my nans old table cloth.
I think the club should run a competition to design the next home one,
I think sometimes a fan can be the only person to truly get what other fans want to wear, the last pre match top pattern was a good one though so thumbs up to Umbro for that.
There have been some shockers recently cant remember a good home one for ages

It is overpriced at £10.50, anyone paying full price should be issued with a banning order

WEBSTERS!!! Absolutely horrendous!!! And sky blue shorts and socks too - what are those sleeves all about??? And yet another unethical gambling company sponsor. Umbro are proving themselves to be even worse than Puma. I didn’t think it was possible. Another shirtless year for me.

How long has Woody been out of the country ? He's managed to model one irrespective.
They must have been around for a while now.

From the Oldham highlights it looks white/pale grey

It's probably the smartest kit we've had in 10 years.
I'm looking forward to seeing an innovative 3rd kit.
Hoping for a powerful all-orange or yellow fluoro kit just to REALLY p*ss off those who insist everything we wear has to be made out of wool and just like the 80s.

When you say wool, is it something like this you had in mind?

The training tops yesterday were very bright, orange I think. Seem to be in fashion with people wearing the Nike versions away from sport.
Thought the shirt looked OK yesterday, not so sure on the keeper top which looked more like a training shirt.

I’d imagine they’ll want to flog some home fits before releasing the away.
I’m assuming we’ll play in last seasons away kit at Forrest & the season might even start before unveiling it before/at the Liverpool game.

The sleeves are several different shades of blue so the shorts were never going to match all of them.

Exactly, and unless you're going FKW, which no-one over 12 should, does it really matter?

Yes it’s a warm up top but in previous seasons with Umbro they matched the colours of either the home, away or 3rd kits.

The blue looked a lot deeper blue from memory.
Happens every year - should learn to wait before deciding.
I am much warmer to it now.

I’m glad we went back to the white shorts. They are way too long though! I think we should go back to 80’s style short shorts, after all everyone loves a bit of nostalgia and it would give us all a laugh.

Still not a fan, but it's good to see that they've moved away from a gambling firm at the first real opportunity
