If you think that's bad just look at the Nike England kit with the red socks.

Not sure. On the poor side I think. Typical two-shaded top from Nike. would you be seen on it at the beach? Probably not. So, with that thought, I give it a 4/10. I don't like the navy blue shorts or the crew/v-neck either.

I like the kits. Clean and unfussy, avoiding having some designer vomit on them. Good choice.

But anyway, thanks for the insight, it's really interesting to know about Paul Casson's preferences.

Love the new kits. Best we've had for ages. Onwards and upwards.

Like we would turn down a multi national offering millions to sponsor us for a local firm.
We can only attract local businesses because our profile is so low.

I not sold on the home kit at the moment however I am a big fan of the blue kit and the white kit. Its simple and good that we are using local businesses

Everyone knows that Torquay United is yellow and blue, it’s who we are. This season’s first team kit is a really nice take on that theme and I think the majority of the Yellow Army will really like it or a the least be accepting of it.

The away kit is very accepting, nothing over the top or crass, just don't spill curry down it, it's a bugger getting dark jalfrezi stains out of white.

My verdict: I like it and at least I have not heard any comments yet that it looks like a butchers apron or an old shopping bag. So to this end, as our future is rooted in our history, I welcome a kit that carry's on our historic tradition.

Actually even better than the new kits is Youngy's facial expressions in the photos! That's got to be worth a caption competition.

I Agree, and think it's far better than the bespoke piece of crap I bought last year, which has thread coming out of everywhere and a ridiculous flappy collar. Probably is a lazy choice, but with the smart looking sponsor logo, and even smarter club badge, will mean that we will look like a professional team home and away this season. Could have been far worse!

We're not ever going to get a bespoke kit from Nike, yeah it's a little plain but it's fresh and looks decent!

All you have to do is look at Spurs new home kit and Chelsea away kit to realise not even they can have bespoke, one team only kits.

It's yellow, it's new, I like.

Mixed feelings to be honest. It looks quite smart and crisp but as another poster mentioned, seems a lazy choice and very much a 'this one from the catalogue will do because it's got a Nike logo on it'. Then again I wasn't a fan of last years home kit when it was released but ended up buying one a few weeks later..
Will have to see it in the flesh to make a full judgement of course
