I really like both the kits recently seen eg away against Barnet and home versus Forest Green. Especially like the yellow top with navy blue shorts and white socks! Excellent ...best for many a year !

I could live with blue shorts as long as the socks were not white. I think it looks rather naff when teams try to ape the Brazilian colour scheme. Yesterday looked like a mish-mash with different colours for shirts, shorts and socks.

Aaaahhh, nice to see someone else with the right idea and a sense of taste and style.

I agree with chunky. Can't beat the traditional colours of blue and yellow. We are, after all, the Brazil of the Westcountry.

Couldnt go today, but after seeing the pictures of our home shirt with blue shorts and white socks, I would love to see us keep that combo, it looks sooooooo much better. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can we keep it. At least keep the shorts with yellow socks maybe. All yellow just looks a bit boring, the blue shorts looks smarter and breaks it up.
Maybe the next kit change we could at least try this, only with a brighter yellow and a lighter, brighter blue.

Love the new kits, prefer the away one, a little tweaking next year to mirror the best away kit we ever had (blue with white collars) and it will be spot on. Would like to buy some stuff but is it just me or does the new Club Shop website not work.

Its impossible to add anything to the basket.

I was fortunate to be able to pick up the away shirt today and I'm very impressed with it. Credit to Joma - I think both the home and away kits are big improvements on recent years, I marginally preferred the style of the away shirt.

i see they are selling sew on club crests too,

if i was a shirt wearer, this is what i'd do, buy one of them and sew it over the printed on crest that appears to be on all three shirts

and to the shop for full view of kits

I like the home and away kits - at least they (appear to be anyway) bespoke shirts designed for us and they have a continental look about them. For me the home kit would not benefit with blue shorts and the all yellow has a cleaner look about it. Not sure why there is push for blue shorts. When the club wore yellow prior to the 70s, it was mainly as all yellow (other than horse jockey shirts sported by Sammy Collins.)

The away shirt has a fairly continental look about it.

I hate the 3rd kit, mainly because it is an off-the-peg teamwear shirt that any park team would wear. Buy one for £11.90 from Joma's website.

Now that we have seen the kits worn in action what do people think. So far I have only seen them both in video clips but I quite like the 3rd and away.

Not sure about the home kit, from a purist point of view I am glad we have ditched the white, but I am not happy with all yellow. For me the shorts really should have been blue. That is probably my only criticism of the away kit, the shorts should have been yellow. All one colour is a bit bland and boring. So yeah, blue shorts for home, yellow for away.I would say swap but the blue away kit colour is totally different from the home trim. It would have made sense to have both kits as an exact opposite to each other.

The photos I had seen of the home shirt looked okay and it was growing on me. Not too sure after watching the 2 match clips, the darker shaded yellow segments look almost like a snotty, mucus green.

The kit launch has been postponed- 'out of the clubs control'

Yeah they actually look quite good especially from distance. Unfortunately close up you notice how poor the badge is, but overall a good kit.
