Town’s new kit designs have been leaked ahead of their official launch at the weekend. The leaks confirm that as revealed by TWTD last week, the home kit sees a return of white sleeves and the away strip is red and black.

The kit photos appear to have initially been published by the Football League on its official app before appearing on Twitter.

Town’s retail manager Lee Hyde admitted that the leak was annoying: “It’s frustrating that a technical issue through no fault of our own has caused us to release the new kits ahead of schedule.

“We were made aware that the kits had been leaked online via Twitter and although frustrating, the feedback we have received from supporters has been very positive.

“So far the fans seem to really like the kit and it is great to see such a positive response.

“Lots of planning went into the scheduled launch evening on Friday at Planet Blue and we will still be going ahead with that, with TeamCard holders and season ticket holders having the first chance to purchase the new home shirt on the night of the event.”

Steelmonkey added 21:52 - May 22 Thought we missed a great opportunity to have gone with this type of design last season, would have liked them to have given it a vee neck in white. Is it a championship winning shirt - I really hope so. COYB's

budgieplucker added 22:32 - May 22 Great link Toepunt..... I have never seen this site before and really interesting to see how the kit has developed over the years. Pleased that we have gone back to white sleeves. I must say I quite like the 1921/22 kit of navy shirts and socks and white and navy stripes.

Garv added 23:24 - May 22 Love those, especially the home strip. Got excited when I saw the picture of the away shirt above because I thought it was orange - reminded me of our away shirts around the time of 03-04. Red's OK though.

Hatman added 23:29 - May 22 Wow! So surprised, I think these 2 kits are stunning! Best for a long, long time. Best manager for a long time too, I've not been more optimistic about next season since the days of Big Fat Joe!

BlueVelvet added 12:33 - May 23 a kits a kit, the subject is about as interesting as, well, salivating over a new kit. I'm more interested in how many goals will be genrated by the squad than how many £'s their kit will generate - call me old fashioned.
