They might be dull, but as a shirt for players to play a game of football in the main two are clean and tidy. The third is basically for fans especially kids who just want something different. Prefer the first two than some of the previous kits especially some from the 90,s that i found an abomination but remember Big Kev wearing them.

Home and away are proper boring numbers but I can't wait to purchase that 3rd kit and run about at 5 a side dressed as a refresher...its both offensive and great at the same time I like the home kit, not too much change from last couple of years so giving us some ongoing identity.

Thinking about when we might see the away/third shirts next season.
Barnsley - home Birmingham City - away Blackpool - home Bolton Wanderers - home/third Bristol Rovers - away Burton Albion - home Cambridge United - home Charlton Athletic - home Crawley Town - home Exeter City - home Huddersfield Town - away, but even that might be a bit of a clash with their blue and white. Leyton Orient - home Lincoln City - home Mansfield Town - away, but another where not a huge contrast between Mansfield yellow and pale pink Northampton Town - home Peterborough United - away Reading - away, but similar to Huddersfield. Pale pink isn't ideal against a shirt that is half white Rotherham United - home Shrewsbury Town - away Stevenage - home Wigan Athletic - see Reading and Huddersfield Wrexham - home Wycombe Wanderers - away
Sure there'll be some changes to that but would expect it to be largely right. Which would mean:
14 home kits 8/9 away 1 third?
I know we could wear the third at somewhere like Charlton but we know we prefer to wear blue wherever possible (and we wore blue against them in 2022, and at Stevenage in 2022 and at Orient in 2023, Wrexham in 22 and 24 etc when we could have worn change kits). Hopefully we see it more than once otherwise what's the point?
The Huddersfield, Reading and Wigan games will be interesting to see what we do. None of them are hugely different from blue and white stripes/hoops. I haven't seen any of their kits this season but if they have more white on them than usual, a pale pink shirt isn't much of a contrast.

Are the moaners going to stop moaning about us sneaking over to city blue now?

Is the away shirt pink at the back or does the black side panel go round the back as well?

Really enjoy the announcement video.
Like the simplicity of the home and away tops and have already dropped the hint to the wife about getting our daughter the away top for her birthday (no interest in football but is all in on pink). Third top, not my cup of tea but will certainly stand out when you see them around town. My mind went to the 90's before I read the bumf the club put under it and after a google it's the 91/92 away top I was thinking of.
Looking at the images Nik posted, has someone photoshopped Tanto's front arm or has he been enjoy a lot of along time?

Third kit is made more atrocious by the pattern not being on the back of the shirt I felt that last years “Argentina” shirt was slightly spoiled by the back being plain

Some teams will come to EP and play in there 2nd or 3rd kit even if their traditional home shirt does not clash with ours. Something that annoys me but its all about sponsorship now i guess.

Nice shirt till you turn them around and rarely an option with sleeves.

This might be a bit commercially impossible, but would love us to keep the kits for two years. We could alternate so one year we change the first kit and the next we change the other two. That means fans would still be able to buy a new shirt every season but it’d be valid for two.
