Town Launch New Kits
Tuesday, 29th May 2018 18:13

Town have revealed their kits for the 2018/19 season, which see a return to white sleeves for the home strip, as well as red detailing, and orange for the away.

Last week, the Blues agreed a new four-year deal with adidas, the club's kit manufacturers since 2014.

“Reverting to a retro-inspired round neck, Town’s new home shirt features white sleeves with blue and red contrast detailing,” the club explain on the official site.

"The red detailing continues across the adidas three-stripe branding to the shirt shoulders, shorts side panels and sock turnovers.

“The away kit is one of the most striking kits yet from adidas. The solar orange shirt, shorts and socks, feature contrast black detailing. It’s sure to be easy to spot from a distance, being the brightest away kit Town have worn in recent times.

“Continuing the orange theme, Town’s goalkeepers will also wear an orange kit when turning out at Portman Road.”

The kits will all bear the new EFL names and numbers, in partnership with mental health charity Mind, which will also be available on replica strips. Town’s shirts will also again feature local charity EACH and the new shorts sponsor Nicholas Estates.

The away kit will be available via Planet Blue and online from Friday 8th June with hte new home strip due at Portman Road at the end of June, with a launch date of Friday 29th June having been pencilled in. The home kit can be pre-ordered online from Tuesday, 6th June.

The two goalkeeper kits will be launched in July on a date yet to be confirmed.

The shirts will be priced at £45 for adults and £35 youth sizes, which won’t include the Magical Vegas logo due to EFL rules on gambling sponsors.

The kits will be on display on the Town stand at the Suffolk Show on Wednesday and Thursday.

Well I like all the kits. They'll look very good in the SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP.
I wonder how many of you on your moral high horses boycotted the shirts when they had an alcohol manufacturer on the shirt for six years. How many of you stood/sat in a stand named after a cigarette company?

Magical Vegas sounds like a terrible reality TV show. Ewww.

Or people can just pretend that we are sponsored by the Navada tourism board.

The entire football league is sponsored by sky bet and the majority are also sponsored by bet365, personally don't see the problem, more money for the club is always a bonus

I've got to say that all the criticism of the betting company sponsor strikes me as a tad hypocritical.

Did Mick choose that home kit on the way out as an act of revenge?

The first choice kit is garish, but having seen the hideous orange kit, I hope we wear blue & white whenever possible (which we should in any case). However, the orange won't clash with too many other sides so I think we'll be seeing a lot of it.
All will be forgiven if we have a good season.

Dukey: outnumber opinions are based on caring about the welfare of people involved in betting. Is that bad?

Wish we'd try a new colour out on our away kit seems to be the same 4 colours over and over

Magenta stripes and blue...I'm a graphic designer (or use to be) and that's a big no no, orange strip is the better of the two - worst bit of it though has to be that Magical Vegas.

If not for the sponser that it would be a really good kit both home and away. Regardless I'll buy one or the other.

They are red stripes after taking a closer look but against the blue they look magenta, Red + Blue = magenta

Can't believe all the fuss over a couple of words on a shirt which will make the Club a considerable amount of money. Its common for betting companies to sponsor different organisations so why not Ipswich Town. Shall we all boycott Sky and not play in the Skybet League because of its sponsors. As others have mentioned this site should be called 'Moan Are The Days' which it is what it has become. To youngsters Magical Vegas may not even reflect a betting company as the word betting is not shown. Those old enough to bet will still bet whether the ad is on a football shirt or not. Its bringing in money to the Club for heaven sake.

Stick Chambo in that and stand him in of row of slot machines and I guarantee someone will try and play him.

I actually think this is a masterstroke, opposition will need sunglasses making it harder to see the ball.

Would like to see a neon girls, girls, girls in the red going down the side of the shirt to finish the look.

Neither kit wouldn't look too bad if it wasn't for the sponsor. is there a worse sponsor in the whole of the football league?

Away reminds me of the You know when you have been tangoed from 1990.

Should say no issue with the sponsor but their logo is hideous.

@ StowTractorBoy, morals aside the MV logo looks rubbish. Even if it wasn't a gambling company I still wouldn't want to fork out £45 with that on the front as it totally ruins the look! And the deal they gave us wasn't that great from what I can gather. Looks at customer reviews on the company too, their reviews on the whole are pretty rubbish. Sound like a cowboy outfit from the reviews I read. Do we really want to be associated with a company like that? And besides the logo looks rubbish so it totally ruins the shirt for me. I'd happily buy the orange away shirt without the sponsor but not with it on. There's nothing magical about that sponsor or logo whatsoever! You could get a more professional and aesthetically pleasing logo knocked up on Fiverr.com for £5 in 24 hours, seriously.
It's just not a looker!

DurhamTownFan it's about opinions and sharing our views? Seriously supporters moan all the time it wouldn't matter who's on the shirt? Anyway we must meet up sometime you still in Durham? As don't live that far from there?

Kudos to Bart for trying to hide that hideous logo. "Magical"-ly disappears.

I'm not morally against betting companies, but I did prefer a proper sponsor like Pioneer, Greene King, and even Fisons. Magical Vegas is such a tacky crappy name though.

Monkey_Blue added 19:45 - May 29
Nice kits spoiled by the tacky gaudy sponsors logo... why don't Pioneer fancy sponsoring us?

Away kit is much better than the home one, which frankly, I don't like at all. Not a fan of the sponsor either, but that's modern day football!

Why can we not get the kit right? What is with all the red? Like the orange away BUT why does it look like a 70s sofa!
