Looks black to me. Regardless, its far too dark.

Not confirmed Kernow, but you can see it from the stand, under lights, the players don't stand out immediately. Its the difference between catching a glimpse of a bright yellow shirt and hitting a pass or not spotting a team mate. The very worst place for it is Aldershot.

Matt.

Form in the black kit was very good though Matt. Don't see it as a problem personally.

Their goalie let one through his legs to give us a 1-0 win in the dark at Aldershot last year. Maybe we're onto something here.

You're right enough Rich

Last year, we used that kit in 5 wins and 2 losses, but I still think the black (or whatever nearly black colour this new shirt is) is much harder to spot out of the corner of an eye than yellow.

I like it, i like it. No gay v-neck!! Hurrah!!

The kit could be worse. My initial thought from the photo was that it was black and it was not until I read the description that I realised it was meant to be navy. It is not too bad a design but it rather depends what colour the shorts and socks are...hopefully the same colour. The sondico logo is a bit big but the real negative is the sparkworld logo. It is just shite and the shape, colour, position of it looks awkward and rather slapped on. I will probably buy the shirt because I don't like the home one but it is that sparkworld logo that puts me off doing so.

not sure we'd be allowed to have a yellow away kit though matt 8/

i quite like the new design. online it states the Marsh Toyota sponsor is on the back, but no mention of The Gulls' so hopefully it's not on the away kit. Also, on the "new" home shirt, it says that on the bottom of the back it says "GULLS" so maybe they've changed that from the original balls-up ??

I quite like the Sparkworld logo, it's far far better than when we just has SPARKWORLD written in felt along the middle of the shirt.

I shall be popping in on Friday to pick mine up, providing they still have some in stock.

Went and brought it today. Does look abit darker seeing it in the shop. Still nice. The Home shirt is exactly the same as last season with THE GULLS written on the back and the only noticable differance is just having Sondico in the corner and not Vandanel obviously. Not worth spending £40 on again for the change of make unless you can swap the old one for it

Thanks Alex - does look black in those pics!

Looks deffo black Alex. Is it noticably blue or is it pretty much black mate IYO?

I'd say it's a very dark blue but as said a lot more darker than it did on the OS. Still like though..
