Looks like our away kit may have been the inspiration for the new Bolton away kit

That's hideous, but not as hideous as ours.

I actually quite like that bolton one, isn't too over the top like ours. Looks like Porto have managed to out do us though, their one with the blue zig zag and some lame purple dots is just atrocious.

Also, AC Milan shows how to do the stripe without looking tacky.

i actually like our black shirt, i much prefer it to the endless stream of boring white/blue away shirts we've had recently.

I think it's awful. Not a fan of black kits anyway, let alone ones with yellow zig-zag lines across the front. Looks like it was designed a 5 year old. The simple blue kit we had 4 or 5 years ago had a classic, classy look about it. Probably have to get though another 20 years of zig-zag lines until we get another as good as that.

i love the away kit, different strokes for different folks. I love the current home kit as well, didn't like the new one at first but it's starting to grow on me a bit.

Once again I'm going to jump to the defence of our black shirt. I think it's more stylish than your average football shirt, possibly because it doesn't look like your usual football kit, which may be part of why other people don't like it, but each to their own. As such I think the Bolton one looks good too.

At least we're not wearing pink like Bradford or bright orange like Swansea. Why we've subjected our youth team to that humiliation I do not know.

Our black kit is nice. Very sceptical at the start but it's not bad at all, our new home kit on the other hand..

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I quite like the new home kit, whereas the away one...

some of those kits were hideous.cant believe how many clubs have the audacity these days to bring out anything up to 3 new kits every year.everyone always said man utd were guilty but loads of teams are at it.by the way what concerns me is the designs for colchester and bristol citys away kits are far superior than any home kit we have had for years.who the hell designs the kits,how hard can it be.yellow shirt with blue (proper) collar and trims,blue shorts with yellow trim,yellow or white socks (go brazil) with blue trim.it isnt hard.why did we have white socks last season?yellow,yellow,white looked crap!yellow shirt,blue shorts,white socks would have looked a million times better and at least it would have made a statement and gave people something to talk about. :scarf:

You do realise we have 3 kits which all get replaced every 2 years. Exactly the same for Man Utd too.

The big difference being that Man Utd actually put their kits on sale, we might do at some point, if we feel like it.

A mate of mine spoke to a lady in the shop and she said that the new shirts will be delivered on the 26th of July.
