Anyone know when we can expect the new kit announcement?
Also, as I've paid very little attention to discussion on here re the kit for next season, does anyone know if we are we sticking with Puma next season? Any other insider details on the new kit to share?
I'd really like to see us go back to blue shorts and white socks too, if anyone who matters is listening...

will be over a month probably until kit released. We are always late with it. 1 more season with puma. I thought it was up this season but was speaking to people a few weeks ago and they all said 1 more year |

Would love it if when the club do a new deal part of the deal is keeping a home shirt for two seasons. Or even making the 3rd shirt the away shirt for the following season so there isn't three new shirts every f*cking year.
I know its standard these days and the "don't buy it if you don't like it" brigade will be out in force but 3 new shirts every season is absurd in my eyes and is just commercial exploitation gone wild.
Aside from the cost implications for people, it's also an endictment of our "throw it away" society. A new kit release would be way more exciting if we'd lived for longer in an existing one.

Totally agree. We’ve proven this season we don’t need three kits. I get why we have three, it makes us a decent whack, but it’s just a nonsense when we wear them so little. Would love us to just have two shirts (home and away) and retain each for two years on an alternative basis so we only ever have one new kit each season. Commercially makes no sense but would love to see us do that. But seeing as we’ll have three again, it’d be good to have them out and unveiled in the next few weeks rather than waiting until July as we seek to do every year since forever. |

Can't see it being any earlier this season. We'll be pushing the Champions shirts and fulfilling those orders. I quite like the third kit. It gives the club a licence to do something a bit different. I agree it's all very commercialised and "fast fashion" though. |

I hope they ditch puma. This/ last year's home has been alright but I found joma ones much more interesting. I hope we go for a lesser known brand who'll so something more bespoke and frankly more interesting.

I much preferred the blue/blue/white as well. |

Agree on just two shirts to last two seasons. However do fans actually buy all three or just the favourite one o.f the 3 |

Sure there's plenty like me who'll buy all three regardless, its an addiction really hence my begging for them to give me a bit of break and cool it down on 3 kits every year. |

Suspect most people will, apart from collectors. Wonder whether having 3 kits places extra pressure on parents or do they just say you can have 1? I remember many years ago, we conducted a very large survey, which included a question about whether the Club should change kits every season or rotate every 2 years. The response was surprising. Most parents were happy with new kits, because the kids tend to wear them all the time, so it's great value and by the end of the season, they've out grown the shirt or worn it out. |

I much preferred the blue/blue/white as well. I prefer us in blue/blue/white as well. Disagree on the Joma kits though as the blue always seemed wrong - the Sampdoria kit was a piece of art though. My favourite county shirt that with the TFG 06/07. Would have liked us when we got in the league to do something new and make it our identity. I know amber socks has been mentioned by a few on here. Think it would look pretty good and unique and could argue its a nod to the Cheshire flag.. |

I hope we go for a lesser known brand who'll so something more bespoke and frankly more interesting. The Joma ones were all stock/catalogue kits (and all quite awful imho). So were the Puma ones up until last and this season. This and last seasons home shirts were great. Bought them but sold them on as the massive sponsor and sleeve and back logos ruined them for me. Was going to get them removed but couldn’t be arsed. |

Kids have to wear something and at least buying a shirt of their club means they,ll wear it and not like other stuff you might buy em that they refuse to wear without another row because its got the wrong brand name on it. For the cash strapped parent i,ll tell you from my experiance that they,ll wear last seasons kits in the sale if you can find one thats not small and be happy with it in the end. |
