Town Release New Kits
Thursday, 23rd May 2019 07:30

Town have unveiled their new home and away kits for the 2019/20 season with the strips available for pre-order from 10am this morning.

The traditionally blue home shirt features a subtle chevron effect on the front, white detailing on a round collar and sleeves, as well as the adidas three stripes.

It also bears a monochrome version of the logo of sponsors Magical Vegas, along with the usual white shorts - with a blue trim rather than this year’s red - with Nicholas Estates again the back of short sponsor, and blue shorts.

The away kit is inspired by the 2015/16 ‘Barcelona’ kit in burgundy with navy stripes on the shirt and yellow trim. Again the Magical Vegas logo is in monochrome.

When previously released Town were only able to use the kit on a couple of occasions due to the blue shorts and socks clashing with opposition sides with predominently Blue kits.

The following season burgundy shorts and socks were introduced and it was used as a third kit with less of a problem.

The goalkeeper kits are in camouflage-inspired prints. The home kit is grey, while the away is green, both with black trim.

“We’re really pleased with all the kits and training range for 2019/20. They’ve had a great reaction from the manager and players already.” director of retail operations Lee Hyde told the club site.

The kits will again carry the EFL names and numbers as well as the name of the mental health charity Mind, which fans can have added to their shirts if they wish.

Supporters wanting to add a custom name or number to their shirt can do so when pre-ordering.

However, as in previous seasons, no orders for shirts with player names and numbers will be processed until the release of the 2019/20 squad numbers.

The kits can be pre-ordered from 10am this morning via Planet Blue. Anyone pre-ordering prior to 3.00pm on Wednesday 3rd July will be entered into a prize draw to win one of a number of prizes: A 2019/20 season ticket, a visit to a first-team training session at Playford Road with an opportunity to meet the manager and squad or one of 10 home shirts signed by the first team squad.

Pre-ordered kit will arrive with fans up to 48 hours prior to the release for general sale.

Thursday 13th June - Home kit pre-order collection/delivery
Saturday 15th June - Home kit available on general sale
Thursday 4th July - Away kit pre-order collection/delivery
Saturday 6th July - Away Kit available on general sale

Fans wanting to take a look at the new kits can do so from 10am at Planet Blue and in Town's marquee at the Suffolk Show on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th May.

Totally agree with comments already made. The toned down logo is a significant improvement but should still be reduced in size. The significant emblem on the shirt should be the ITFC badge (which for me still looks better with the 80s yellow instead of the red), not the sponsor. At least its a step in the right direction.

Much prefer the darker royal blue (they must of listened to me) just a shame about the bad omen of a sponsor on it...away kit is okay as well but lets face it we ain't no Barcelona!

Maybe we can keep this new kit for a few seasons, so that supporters are not stung in the pocket year in year out.

One things for sure, some people on here love to moan about things, Colours, sponsors, even the players and others posing for the photoshoot. It's a shirt and it's better than the last one.

Is it just me or can anyone else agree, I haven't looked forward to a new season so much in ages! I think it's a combination of new teams to face, the chance of winning some games, and finally enjoying international break weekends!

The home shirt is excellent,I might even be tempted to buy one
for the first time in years.
We now just need two new strikers,a centre half,a right back and a goal scoring box to box midfielder and we'll be ok !!

Was hoping for the away kit to be white with black pin stripes, not a fan of this away kit. Home kit looking nice especially with the MV logo changed

they should be giving one kit free to every person in Suffolk to apologize for what they have done to a club that used to be one of the top 3 in britain (and top 20 in Europe)....they should send some over to Australia for us exiled supporters as well to compensate us for the misery they have inflicted on us everytime we go on the internet( it would be good if they sent us a crate of Aspall Cyder as a reward for sticking by them during bushfires and droughts and floods as well )...

Even as an old git, I feel like buying this home kit!

I have to agree, however, with those who object to the sponsor. It grates to be associated with such an unethical company, in the context of all the other positive community-stuff we're involved in.

Without their jarring-logo, I'd purchase this in a heart-beat, and given the many other dissenting voices, it sounds like I am not the only one. Surely, if an association is inhibiting sales, it's unwise for the club to continue with it?

This year, it's been down-graded, hopefully next year it'll be discontinued.

Bottom line? It's a sharp, professional kit, marred by a hideous sponsor. Remove Vegas, and it'd be PERFECTION...

Aren't we pushing it a bit to run out in a Barcelona rip off kit in League 1? Perhaps something simple like the white shirts and black shorts we used to have would have sufficed.

2 great teams you mention Carberry. Barcelona and the Town of the late 70,s early 80,s. Both achieving the title of Europe's finest. Personally prefer that white kit, along with Liverpool this season, the best English team ever not to be crowned English champions.....ITFC 1980/81.
