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.”
