“Snow is falling ………. “ at Watford last year was excellent and I was just having a trip through the archives of my mind when I suddenly remembered this classic

This shirt represents the pride both players and supporters feel for Ipswich Town Football Club. Players are proud to play for the Club and the badge, this is shown by bringing the badge out of the shirt and highlighting the crest with a shield surround. In line with the 100 year anniversary of Umbro, the shirt has a heritage feel with the original Umbro diamond utilising a red centre which balances nicely with the red surround of the Club crest. White pinstripes are incorporated into a home shirt for the first time in 10 years and fresh navy trim on the sleeves and v-neck gives the shirt a clean finished look.
2024/25 Umbro Away Shirt: Always Ipswich
This shirt represents pride in the Town, how the success of Ipswich Town Football Club impacts the whole of Ipswich. The town centre, bars, coffee shops and restaurants are full on a matchday with 30,000 supporters making their way to Portman Road. This is shown in the shirt by capturing Portman Road full of supporters waving flags, small portions of these flags have then been used to create a unique graphic that runs through the shirt. The use of a tonal gold crest, gold Umbro diamond and gold sponsor logo gives the shirt a smart proud finish. The navy trim used in the home shirts links both kits together and completes the look.
Superb from Wolves. I know there have been times in my life where going to watch ITFC on a Saturday kept me going. I totally identify with that lad who goes to games on his own. I've done a lot of that in the past. Fortunately things have improved a lot for me and I've met some great people who i now go to games with, but the darkness is never far away. Hugs with strangers during goal celebrations can mean everything. In that moment you belong, you are accepted and it fills you with joy and positivity. There was something very reassuring about knowing that I could go to the match at 3pm on a Saturday and my team would be there for me. I could depend on them being there every week. It helped.

I was sent this as a text message yesterday. I'm not sure of the original source / article but it kinda sums up what is shown in that video:
Since victory over Coventry City on Tuesday, where 2,500 travelling fans sang themselves hoarse as they celebrated a 2-1 win to take them to the brink of promotion, nobody in Ipswich has come down off the high provided by their football team. The truth is that these are the moments football fans live for. It is not about actually being in the Premier League itself — that reality soon takes the shine off for many a promoted club — but it is the beauty of the journey that makes it.
These are the five days when fans feel immortal. To sit on the cusp, after 22 long years away, of the greatest day of their lives is to laugh in the face of every challenge that led to this point. Nothing compares. There is no top-flight equivalent of this, the thrum of a town ready to crash into the elite and remind the world what it means to be from Ipswich and to love its football club.
