A lot of fuss gets made of new kit announcements but i'd be interested to know (perhaps @Airman Brown could provide some insight from back in the day) as to what kind of numbers we do on shirt sales.
I get why big premier clubs release kits every year as they have huge global fanbases, but is it really worth a club like us (or indeed many lower league sides) releasing 3 kits every season? Would sales on the away and third be better if we kept them for 2 years? Would parents be more inclined to buy their kids new kits for christmas 2021 if they knew we'd have them until summer 2022? Possibly not but just wondering.

keep each kit for 2 seasons but maybe just change 1 each year - easier obviously if you stay with the same supplier / sponsor
Given some of the abominations out there this year, as a collection of three I think Hummel have done a great job with our kits this year. For me, I’d mark them:
Home - 9. It would be a 10 without the black bit on the collar.
Away - 6. It’s too fussy but I don’t dislike the overall kit. I just can’t bring myself to like it a lot
Third.- A big fat 10. They should read all the comments and swap round the away and third kits.
Quite like the new white away kit (I have always liked the white option and hell, we won the FA cup in it). Should look good on the players and give high visibility value on dark winter away trips (a really key factor). Not all bad news for lovers of the third kit though given we are away to quite a few teams this year in home strips shirts or white shirts. Might be seeing quite a lot of the third kit.
Some of the new training gear is lovely. Club shop window has some of the new gear. Does anyone know if the 15% off voucher with the season ticket can be used with the 10% VG discount?

Picked up the home shirt today, think it looks a lot better in person that the promotional shots, will be interesting to see the consensus once we've all seen it in the flesh.

Think the shirts all look decent, spoilt with the reveal of the third shirt first but the other two are nice aswell.

But maybe that's because I am looking at it on Innis's massive bulky frame. Probably look awful when my love handles are pushing it out of shape.
Glad to see the Queen has her own football club
