Yeah it's a decent away kit, I don't mind it at all, could be better, could be worse. Done well with the theming though with it as well.

Really like the new away kit and looks good with black shorts.

The lines remind me of Covid lateral flow test kit results though.

Did someone leave a red sock in the washing machine?

Salmon pink and red. Very bold.

Quite surprised lots of people like it tbh.

Decent. Better than the home kit (though irl it’s pretty inoffensive)

Dirk Gently
Scutterbucketz This extended lateness is becoming intriguing now. I get that there’s supply issues, but you’d think that they know what the away kit will be and have enough of it to cover the first team. Why not announce it and then sell it to the public when it comes in?

But clearly it’s not as simple as that.


They need to have a decent gap between home and away shirts are releases, and (ideally) time the releases to coincide with an end of month payday, so that hopefully people will buy both at the time they are most flush (if anyone is, these days....)

The home shirt was released on 25th June, with most people getting paid on 29th, so expect the away shirt release around 25th August or early the following week.

The danger of announcing it too early is that people will like it more than the home shirt and then decide to wait for that, rather than buy the home shirt.

The lack of the blue hoops in this will probably mean this shirt will feature on conspiracy theorist websites, as proof that climate scientists are cherry-picking information.

I was quite tempted to buy one for my daughter, but then I saw the price. FFS why does a t-shirt cost so much? Especially for the kids version.

This is far more acceptable than that other pink monstrosity under the land grabbing asset stripping Thai's.

There was a bloke on FB complaining the sleeves on the main kit looked like the Pride flag and opposition fans would think he was gay if he wore it.

I think that says more about him and his own insecurities that it does about the shirt.
