Questions need to be asked about who has the responsibility to make such big decisions as it looks like very little thought or consideration has been put into the kits this year, also if these are the best options that Puma can give us it feels like we've ran our course with them which is disappointing given how good the home shirts have been in recent years.
Good luck shifting 25k of these shirts.

Not seen it mentioned on here yet but the Pink kit is to used at Chester tomorrow. That Pink is so pale it looks like someone's washed a white kit with a red sock left in the machine.

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. Commercially possible of course but not something they'd want to do commercially - I think Brentford have done it this year with theirs

We don't need to keep all three for two years, I get why we wouldn't do that, but keep the away or third for two seasons.

Home kit is very simple but nice enough.
Pink away is lovely.
Will decide on the third kit in person. Not an immediate fan of it.

not on sale til 22nd July online or 26th in store, missed sales for us rotund b*stards wanting to gallivant round Pinatar in one It is baffling why we wait so long to get them on sale. It's not a surprise we have new kits every year. And these have been a long time coming. I was told in December the third kit was going to be a tribute to the 91/92 away. So why not get them announced in early June and on sale for now? Maybe to maximise the sales of last season's gear that was out of stick for so long and the Champions shirts? But they ended up getting hacked to £20.

The third kit looks good on the players. The Blue Shorts and the yellow socks really do work.
Not sure it'll be great on a supporter who will wear it with jeans etc.
I don't buy kits for myself but I do think the home one is lovely, very clean cut and smart.

Based on no knowledge whatsoever, but I guess the majority of shirts are sold from end of July until Xmas(as they are outdated a few months later). If we had a '2 Yr shirt', then I reckon we'd sell them all year round for birthdays/a good season/start of summer holidays etc

A shirt for the players and the club having an identity or commercial possibilities. As far as i know not having a single item of club merchandise does not stop anyone attending games. Or will the club use a system of most you purchase will give you first dibs on away tickets that are available. At the outset i thought replica kits were one of the best things clubs ever thought of as i missed out as a kid, but feel now its grown out of all proportion apart from on clubs balance sheets.

Home and pink away kits are offensively dull
Third kit is just offensive. If I had more money and fewer County shirts, I wouldn’t think twice about buying it

I hadn't seen the pic on the website of the socks. I'd have gone dark socks for the away and hooped socks for the third. The home ones could do with a flash of white on them somewhere.

Regarding having kits for 2 years.
It's definitely doable but we would have to stay with puma another year or 2. I think we all want to move away from puma so maybe when we get Adidas or umbro then we will do that
