Town have unveiled their new home, away and goalkeepers' kits for the 2016/17 season with the home strip seeing a return to white sleeves and, as previously reported, a move to blue shorts. The away shirt is white, while there are red and green keepers' jerseys.

Blues skipper Luke Chambers says the squad played a part in choosing the new strips.

“The kits look and feel great, but that’s to be expected from a brand with such high standards as adidas,” he told the club site.

“We’ve all had a say in the design of the new kits and we are all delighted with them. Hopefully the Town fans will be too.

“We were disappointed to miss out on the play-offs this season but it’s made us as hungry as ever for next term and now the kits have been revealed for the upcoming campaign, we all can’t wait to get started again in August.”

In addition to the switch to royal blue shorts, the home kit will feature the more traditional blue socks, while the away shorts and socks are both white with a blue trim. The rarely-worn ‘Barcelona’ kit, currently the second strip, will be next year’s third kit.

The new kits will be available for pre-order online from ITFC Director from Planet Blue from 10am with full details on the club website here.

The home kit will be on general sale from Wednesday 1st June and the away from Wednesday 29th June, although those ordering early will get their kits ahead of those dates.

midastouch added 09:42 - May 6 Loving the away, but the home doesn't hit the spot. They'll be a sea of white in the North Stand next season I expect!

TractorViking added 10:03 - May 6 Ilove the away kit - hate the red and orange ones. Home kit is OK!

Westy added 10:05 - May 6 They are calling it the Away Strip rather than the Reserve Strip. I hope we still play in Blue when playing away and only change when we need to.

sidtheswan added 10:06 - May 6 Don't like the home but away is fine . Looks like we may actually be able to wear this one without clashing with most home teams !

legal_blue added 10:10 - May 6 I like the away strip - quite traditional for us. Like the white arms on the home kit, just wish there were no chevrons, and I much prefer a darker blue.

cornishnick added 10:19 - May 6 Agree with many of the comments, home kit is horrible. Away's ok.

dirtyboy added 10:23 - May 6 reminds me of an early 90, late 80's shell suit. Retro. Looks decent.

eMeM added 10:29 - May 6 Something that really turns me off on our kits is Marcus Evans name on a logo. I'm a fan from abroad, I wouldn't like to explain to other people that I'm not Marcus Evans.

GiveusaWave added 10:36 - May 6 Blue machines Heard on the grapevine that we had to stop wearing that kit as we often got mistaken for Barcelona (style of play etc). It's understandable, there are a lot of similarities.

ronnyd added 11:10 - May 6 We can always have a yellow away shirt. That wouldn,t clash with anyone , would it? only joking, honest.

BrettenhamBlue added 11:14 - May 6 Where are penguinblue, Mickszzzzztactics or ITFC Realist when we need them?

trevski added 11:23 - May 6 Home Kit - Its okay, probably would look better without the V Away Kit - Love it, simple but it works well and give the chance for the 3rd kit to be used whether it is the orange or the Barca kit GK Kit - I prefer the green one over the red one. The red one seems a bit much and you can't see the pattern on the shoulders (unless that is just my colour blindness)

Lightningboy added 11:26 - May 6 Really like that new home shirt - blue shorts though???!!! Phil..any idea whether these shirts will be the same fit as the current ones or slightly slimmer fitting like the 14/15 season shirts?

Lightningboy added 11:29 - May 6 Re the away kit - I personally think it should be permanently orange.

Cambonbleu added 12:18 - May 6 I'd order the away kit but there's not a hope in hell i'd keep a white shirt clean for any length of time. Therefore, i've pre-ordered the home kit

renoble added 12:27 - May 6 The arrow look is rank - but... I was thinking that perhaps it might be needed to remind our defenders where to pass the ball

superblues9 added 15:08 - May 6 Both horrible ! Can't see how they come up with ideas for new kits every year but never mind ! Barcelona shirt was best one for years but they never wore it so waste of time really !

Rimsy added 15:24 - May 6 Home shirt looks cheap and blue shorts a complete no-no. Away kit is the best for ages.

didsburyblue added 15:24 - May 6 The only positive thing I can say about the Home shirt is that at least it isn't Yellow & Green

footyblue added 15:35 - May 6 at least the away kit will be used next season ha ha
