Not the best kit is it?, Pointless white stripes down the front, I don't get it ..nice hook-up with the college, but other than that, not keen on it

I quite like the away one. I think the 'stripes' and the background detail is suppose to create a shadow effect of one of the ...chevrons that makes up our badge, but it doesn't look good at all on the home shirt.

not really a fan of the central badge and puma logo, either.

Whoever designed this shambles needs shooting.
Who at the club gives the authorisation that this is the choice for the season ahead ? Feel it would be better if there was a choice and supporters could vote for the best.
This home kit has fallen to a new low in my opinion, sums up where we are I guess…. 6th tier football with a 6th tier kit but gives us something to debate as sweet F A else coming out of the club

sometimes, something divisive is better than something that everybody looks at and goes "meh" towards. (like last season's home and away)

Why??
As probably because you'd get the same result........
As for debating things, there's nowt much to talk about - just like most other clubs - what do you expect at this time in June?

Yep - agree.
Perhaps it'll become a "cult shirt" - just like the Mod-Dec Bumblebee one!

Not much to talk about

If you surf Twitter and other clubs websites they seem to have stuff . Take a look SNW you might find something.
Also Sky Sports news continues throughout the summer I see,so guess there is always something in June to talk about buddy

Oh aye, SSN is full of news from the NL and below.........

They won't be bothered about NL now the Taffs have been promoted.
As for twitter, don't do it and club websites of NL clubs aren't exactly full of news either.....

How you view a kit is all about opinions.
My opinion.
Quite possibly the worst kit of all time. Being a traditionalist, what are those triangular stripes all about. Colour mix a mess. In general yuck.
Having an away kit that is a little playful is just about tolerable. Mucking about with home kits is more sacrilegious.
Oh well. Just saved, the usual outlandish priced, 40 quid.
Not going to get too stressed about a kit.
Promotion is the only factor we need to be strident about. Getting out of this division this season is the only acceptable conclusion.

The triangular stripes seem to work better on the blue in my opinion. Blue one is growing on me.
My opinion is it looks awful on the yellow.
A stripe is a stripe … this is neither one thing or another again all about opinions

The home kit does not look great. It would look OK without those white stripes, but doesn't work with them.

The away kit is actually quite nice. The stripes work a lot better and it's a nice mix of the blue away kits we had in the early-mid '90s.
