Should we stop changing kits every season? on 13:29 - May 20 by J2BLUE
You said in the other thread you understood why it happened. That means it will never go back unfortately.
We have new owners who pride themselves on community and fan engagement. If we asked them to revert back to the old system when the deal with addidas ends, I am sure they would be supportive. Plus its a good look for the club. It's the green thing to do. It helps families be able to better afford to get their kids the latest strips and it stops the absolute waste of a change of two kits each season.
If your kids want a Manchester City shirt from Ipswich town center, at £70 for one year or there is an option to get an Ipswich Town one for half that for two years, it makes encouraging kids to support the local side even greater to. If you walk through Ipswich and surrounds these days it's all Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and so on kits the kids are wearing. We can't compete with results at the moment but we can compete on price and value! We value our fans, our kids, those clubs do not. Let's make it a positive thing.

They are engaging with fans but they are also here to make a profit and you'd be asking them to sacrifice income and be at a competitive disadvantage to our rivals.

If enough people didn't whip themselves up into a frenzy over every new shirt that came out, and didn't rush out to buy it at full price, there wouldn't be a need to change it so often.
I say just buy last year's shirt for a fiver, and then buy another design for a fiver at some other point over the next couple of years, and so on. Does anyone really care about having the latest one? I can't remember the last time we had a good shirt anyway.

2020/21?
Well, it was ok. I wouldn't exactly wear it to a wedding reception though.

Which one, over the last 3 decades or so, would you think would be suitable wedding-wear then? Can't say I've ever judged a football kit on such requirements before.

Sure there was one in the 90s which featured a bowtie.

Trouble is that would require the matching shorts and no one is going to agree on that.
Colchester will be keeping both of last season's kits next year. I think this will disappoint many people who would like the club to go back to stripes (as Brighton just have) but the chairman was candid about the decision: firstly, a lot of people bought kits which they never got to wear to a game, he said, ... but also 'we still have a shop almost full of those kits to shift'. I applaud the thinking and that these shorts won't be landfill, although I'm pretty sure the away kit, which is a kind of dull olive green with camouflage sleeves. must be terrible for the players when trying to pick out a pass, and must be (along with a hell of a lot of long trips) a reason the U's had the worst away record in pretty much the entire football league.

One new kit every season would do, so the home and away change on alternate years. We did this during the 99s and 00s and it worked well. Kits from the past are remembered because they were worn in some cases for three seasons.
Also, time for us to pick an away colour and stick with it. Orange seems most popular with Town fans, failing that white and black.

I think a return to the old system makes more sense,we've gone through so many in recent years,personally id like to see another season for the current home kit with maybe white shorts displacing the blue,cant stand blue shorts on our home kit,we arent chelsea,and maybe a return to an ancient seventies favourite of clubs on their away trips,the sweden style kit,yellow shirts,blue collar and cuffs,blue shorts,yellow socks.Very popular then ,Arsenal and Everton always wore theat away as did the Town,sadly some have a real problem with yellow for some reason.

I'm not sure you would?... I used to buy the new shirt every year when it alternated but rarely buy one now, bought last years but on ly because I had vouchers to spend.... I think overall it may increase year on year sales.... I certainly have never bought two shirts a year!

I hope the new owners will listen and after the deal with Adidas is done we switch back to a more ethical system of once change person with home and away alternating.
