What is the point in this kit?

Is it 'commemorating' an anniversary of the original?

Is there a reason for it?

Seems stupid to release a new shirt about 3/4 of the way through a season

Will it be worn in a match, surely we have enough kits already.

Commemorate Leicester being well and truly

We actually beat Leicester when we played in the original brown kit. It was televised so there is film of it out there somewhere. Roger Van Gool had his only good game for us, and a young Gary Linekar was playing for them.

Soccer AM did a vote back in the day and the original admiral one won by a mile

And if you had one of the Originals today it would be worth hundreds of pounds. 🤑

I was there too, but prefer to remember its debut at Derby where we won 2-0 with Steve Hunt scoring on his debut (and obviously a goal from Ian Wallace).
Yeah I was at Derby the first time we wore the brown, and I seem to remember Hunt's goal was a screamer? Nobody could believe the kit, which was an outrageous departure from anything seen before.

I'm not a fan and after a bit of deliberation I've decided it's because of the sponsor and a bit of the trim being in blue. They should be white. Even then it'd still be horrific, just not quite as horrific as it is.
