Some clubs have moved to every two years for kit change. Given the environmental disaster of fast fashion is it time Town did the same? Discuss! |  | | |  |

A few thousand football shirts, which people do actually wear repeatedly, are not really a significant contributor to sea level rises through climate change, compared to, say, air travel or motor transport. |
Football shirts alone don’t, but the fashion industry as a whole had a much larger GHG impact than airlines | | | |

I think we should go back to every other year - people will mention income but sometimes your principles are allowed to usurp that
I'm a mug who buys them all, and for both my children so I don't help with the problem - but still doesn't feel right for these kits to have such short shelf lifes (and in some cases be worn only a handful of times) |  |

I'm with you on this. There's also the perception of it, and football clubs can have a role to play in highlighting such issues as fast fashion, which is very damaging environmentally and increasingly so. The fact it might be less of a contributor than air travel is a bit of a ridiculous argument for not making changes that are for the good of the planet. |
We made a big song and dance about the 'most sustainable kit of all time', wore it half a dozen times and then never saw it again

But they're reusable. If not by your kids. They can be worn by others.
There are some fantastic groups who take kits around the world. |  |

We last year's home kit being so unique, and ticking the right boxes, seems a shame to get rid for another blue kit. The away ones change colour, so I'm more up for that one on a personal level.
With that said, if they make another cracking home shirt, I'll buy it and still wear it (as well as the previous home shirt) |  |

It used to be once every two years and I’d be ok with that. Say alternate home and away kits, annual for the third kit?
But really, I’m not bothered either way. |  | | |

Wait until you see this year's, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The pom poms are lovely finishing touch. |  |

I think I'd prefer the home kit every 2 years, and the away every 2 years alternately, so there's one new kit every year.
The Bristol City forum makes a good point. How much profit do we get from sales? I think we made 4m from sales, but is that gross or net?

I liked the staggering of home and away kit changing every 2 years. This way you had something new every year, but not the whole collection at once |  |

But it's not just the kit value itself.
How many people purchased something else when shopping for the kit.
Sponsorship income etc etc | |

I dont really mind eitherway. I tend to buy kits i like the look off until another one i like more comes out.
My current wearable shirts are the blackout shirt and the shirt from Ed Sheerans concernt when we had magical vegas a sponsor (unofficial kit).
It will take a good kit to beat them. |  |

Yes we should change every year, I think football supersedes climate/environment. But I'm shocked about the potential high volume of shirt sales given people keep moaning they cannot afford the increase in food, energy and now mortgages. |  | | |

Town are a franchise with gullible ‘customers’ who love being ripped off - so no.
Won’t be long before there’s a pre-season kit and a 4th kit. And a monthly change of kit | |

For me I think it's a pretty awful stance for Clubs in general, for many reasons but ultimately the environmental concerns.
There is zero need, aside from money, and I can't believe that is that much.
Alternate years, home and away, all clubs would be a start, and would spark conversations about important things. |  |

Fkn 'ell!
'I think football supersedes [sic] climate/environment' - I guess that's some sort of ironic edgelord statement, rather than pig ignorance? | |

Easy solution - just don't have kids innit |
Every two years for me, I also think the kids shirts should be able to be traded in for the new one, 30% off or something...must be bloody hard for parents, no kid wants the old kit once the new one is out.. |  | | |
