That Southampton away kit they used at Spurs on Saturday was pretty horrendous. Battleship grey.

Sounds like Newcastle are wearing their training kit against us, albeit with their manky sponsors logos stuck all over it. Looks almost hyperturq, and features their stadium as the design.
Actually looks quite nice:
(But who sanctioned three kits that all clashed with Brighton? I thought bringing out three kits in the same colour was our speciality...)

Coming back to this! Funny story…You were right!

League rules all their kits are too close to ours so they’ve released a crap 4th kit. Bizarrely still quite similar to our home colours. Could have just gone maroon and navy like their classic hooped kit or something but no. What a farce.
EDIT
Just seen above posts.

It's their training kit! That's weird. And it's still vaguely similar. They want to be us.

I liked that - one of this season's best in my opinion. Much better than their other two efforts
What's odd it that it's a worse clash than their dark blue third kit...

Newcastle should have chosen an alternative kit in something like red. If they want an idea of the shade they only need to check their hands.

Would have been more appropriate down the coast at Pompey, their city has seen it's fair share of battleships over the years. The would have blended in very well.
I think the home shirt looks cheap, but not a bad trio for Norwich...

so despite the universal hatred of the home shirt- it (and the away) are selling more and faster than any previous ones-

Plenty of away shirts on show Saturday but apart from kids, hardly saw anyone with the new home shirt on. I feel the message about having more stock is the one to pick out of this - they are never going to say sales are slow as that would admit that it is not a popular design.

i saw plenty of both home and away new shirts- the red stands out more as obviously as it is very bright among a sea of blue and white of various designs. I doubt the club are lying if they are saying its selling better than any other home shirt- a third more apparently which is quite substantial- I have also seen a lot of new shirts being worn around town,
Its quite a divisive kit going by previous comments , but its certainly grown on me, and a lot of other people, to say its not a popular design is somewhat off the mark- maybe not universally popular but unless you think the club are blatantly lying then it certainly is selling well for an unpopular design
Our home shirt is also flying off the shelves, with sales up nearly 30% compared to last season.
Senior retail operations manager, Claire Britton said, “We ordered more kit than we did for the 21/22 season and our fans have shown their love for this year’s shirts by ordering more than they’ve ever done before.

Ipswich 3rd kit, designed by Ed Sheerhan who's also the sponsor. Quite nice to be honest.
Was it last year that they ran out of shirts fairly early on? If the demand is for 15 shirts and you stock 10 - you can only sell 10. If you stock 15 the next year and sell 15, hey presto, a 50% increase in sales, but with the same demand.

the quote was (our fans) ordering more than they have ever done before- so in terms of shirts actually ordered by fans, not just stocked- so the shirts -home and away are selling more than any other previous ones- whether you, I, or whoever likes them or not, unless the club are just making it up, they are more popular than any previous ones.
