Away kit revealed
- Thread starter monkeywrench
- Start date
I said I didn't like it in the poll but now I'm having second thoughts. I think this one will grow on me, especially if we keep winning away from home!
I do prefer last season's away kit though, first one I've bought in 15 years.

Only one test for playing kit for me:
When you are running forward with the ball at your feet and are about to be closed down, and need to make a pass; can you pick out where your own players are located quickly and accurately, particularly in your peripheral vision as you have other things to look at at the same time, like the ball and the opposition player coming rapidly towards you. Bright shirt = more likely to locate your own players and make an accurate pass; camouflage shirt = less likely to accurately locate where your own players are. On this shirt, the bright colours seem to be mitigated substantially by the black lines on the front that are broken up and irregular, exactly what you do with black lines on a camouflage shirt. Worried that it's not the right shirt for maximising successful passing, particularly at night under floodlights.

I don't know what I think... I actually kind of like bright slightly gaudy stuff, the Ginsters logo is done tastefully so that's something... I just know last year's away kit was much better. Will need to reflect on this one.
And yes, green away kit and green home kit feels weird to pointless.

I like the idea of a bright green away kit but I don't like this design much. Too much black in my opinion. I wonder if the back of the shirt is the same camo as front or brighter. Sponsor is nice.
I'm just pleased not to have to suffer the indignity to wearing another clubs colours again, of singing "green army" or "come on you greens" to a team on the pitch wearing no green. It is green and we should rejoice in that at least.monkeywrench":119np1h8 said:
I like our uniqueness as a club, we are distinctive in name and colour. And this is without doubt very distinctive.
Many cite Warnock's Wembley season kit as our 'worst ever kit' but I liked it for that very reason, it was wonderfully distinctive.
This is equally 'marmite' I suspect. My request for a 'meh' option seems silly now as it's clearly a kit that will polorise opinion, you'll love it or hate it.
So sorry again MW but on this divisive topic I can't raise my pitchfork in anger, I'm in the :thumbs: camp.
That is beyond horrific. It is like something Syd Barrett saw in a drug induced nightmare in the 60s. He never recovered. Will I?
Like this one, the logo change is key. I like it and I think my 6 year old will like it even more. And yes, it is green, on a theme.

Haha, I'm still undecided but erring towards 'like' . But it's definitely not 'meh'
I won't be buying it though as for me, it's deffo one for the youngsters!
