New Kits Unveiled in April - Ipswich Town News

Town’s two new kits for the 2012/13 season will be unveiled in the first week of April. In January, the Blues announced that from now on they would be introducing both new home and away strips each season rather than every other year.

Once they are revealed, both strips will be available to view in both Planet Blue stores, where they can be pre-ordered, with the home shirts arriving in June and the away in July. Those fans pre-ordering can collect their kits a week before they go on general sale, Saturday 16th June for the pre-ordered home strips and Saturday 7th July for the away.

Town's retail manager Lee Hyde says the club and kit manufacturers Mitre have been working to tight deadlines: "We've been up against it this season with regards to getting the supply contract extension signed off as well as kit designs agreed and manufactured.

"The number of questions, tweets and emails about the kits have been steadily increasing over the last month and it will be great to finally show the fans what we've been working so hard on behind the scenes. We're extremely happy with the finished results and we're sure the fans will be too."
