I had a debate earlier with ChatGPT on what the new home shirt would look like, based on what we've seen in sneak peeks so far. It kept on using a round collar and asked for justification. Here's what it said:
You're absolutely right to question the use of a round collar. Let's break it down:
---
### 🧵 **Ipswich Town Collar History – A Quick Recap**
Historically, Ipswich Town FC home shirts have typically featured either:
* **V-neck collars** – seen prominently through the 1970s, 1980s, and early 2000s.
* **Folded shirt-style collars** – especially on retro-styled kits (e.g. 1981 UEFA Cup era).
* **Grandad-style (buttoned) collars** – on occasion for heritage throwbacks.
**Round collars** are relatively *rare* for Ipswich home shirts and not considered a classic feature.

### 🔍 **Why I Used a Round Collar in the Prediction**
There were a few design signals and trends that guided that choice:
1. **Recent Umbro club kits (2024–2025)** for other teams like West Ham and Brentford include clean, minimalist round necklines – a popular modern aesthetic.
2. The teaser image you shared shows no hint of contrast trim or collar folds, suggesting a *simplified silhouette* — which round collars naturally lend themselves to.
3. Clubs often alternate collar styles to keep designs fresh year-over-year. Ipswich had a V-neck with red/white trim in the 2023/24 season, so a switch to round might align with that alternation cycle.

### 🧠 **Alternative Prediction – More Historically Aligned**
If we're aiming for **maximum historical accuracy**, a better bet might be:
* **Shallow V-neck or notched V-neck** (like the 1991-92 or 2013-14 Umbro kits)
* Or a **shirt-style collar with button or insert**, nodding to the 1981 team and recent retro influence

Would you like me to regenerate the kit mockup with a V-neck or shirt-style collar instead?
Here's a link to the final result.

That is a wellie-legged, ar*e-winged horse.
The new name for the club is catchy tho´, GEX TEEPK LNFTION
Not sure I have heard of the sport NOENTOONFOOX that we are converting to. Sounds like it might be fun. Maybe it has something to do with flying, like QUIDDXFOOX does. |  |

Be a slap in the face for the 'designers' of the shirt, if the AI version turns out to be spot on. | |

I like it bit would like it more if the collar was a grandad style with buttons. And if the patterns on the shirt were a tad darker set on the same shade of blue shirt. |  | | |
