Nice. All three shirts are green, white and black and that's my first and last benchmark of our kits being 'proper'.
The SLITS (still living in the seventies) get their precious emerald green somewhere for a season and that's great too.
In this glorious era of rainbow free kits Argyle have used very creatively the full swatch of green shades to produce the same 'difference' each year that spaffing out all the god awful non Argyle 'united nations of colours' did. We can have new and contrasting kits each year WITHOUT diluting our heritage and identity.
We've had mint green, lime green and now emerald green on the away kit, fantastic. Different, but not alien. They're all still green but they're not our trademark green which rightly remains on the home kit. Well done Argyle.
Will I buy one?, no, at least not right now. I thought that ship had sailed due to the indignity of middle aged spread. But as I slim right down to perfect BMI through this year due to the mother of all diets, who knows what the Christmas sales might bring?

Our kits have included a fair bit of white over the years too: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Plymouth_Argyle/Plymouth_Argyle.htm
A few non-Argyle supporting friends have separately got in touch to say the 96 away shirt is 'incredible' and 'winning the shirts so far'. So must be doing something right, if neutrals love it.
Are they? I'm not looking for an argument, I promise, but I always think of Argyle's colour being green, black and white.
I grew up watching us play in the Pilgrim and Umbro shirts of the 80s, which were green shirts, black shorts and white socks. Before and after that there have been green and white kits with no or little black, as have there been green and black kits with little or no white.
I guess, as has often been discussed in kit threads, it depends what the kit colour was during your formative years as an Argyle fan. However, history suggests that white has been a part of Argyle's colours since as early as 1903.
Turns out it is Puma branding. Rotherham's away kit launch graphic has exactly the same image on it. Oh my stoopid brain!? 🤦♂️
