Away kit looks like a pub kit to me, with the mismatching shorts and socks. Home kit looks nice.

For those on here that compare the away kit to Norwich - Norwich wear yellow tops and GREEN shorts (in accordance with their Aviva sponsors colours).

And just for the record, I love the new kits - I just wish Nora Batty could have modelled them! (It's an age thing!! )

I must say I think it's odd that they went with white socks for the away kit. Looks like they didn't have any blue or yellow next. I might even get the away get this year. It will go with my eyes.

like the home kit - but won't be buying a) as I never do and b) because I am not prepared to support SISUs continued tenure at CCFC.

The away shirt looks like the back of a City Link Van.

I wonder if we'd sell more season tickets if they were available in pretty shirt form.

Actually, I'm surprised I've not been cast out as a traitor for expressing an interest in buying one!

Lets all sing together,
Play up Yellow, blue, white and green ..............................
while we sing together
no new signings will be seen

Bournemouth or Brentford,
Carlisle or MK Dons,
They will all beat us,
Cos we won't sign anyone....

I like them both actually. But I liked the away one a lot more before I realised the City Link thing. Maybe they designed it whilst Fat Freddy was still around, hoping it would look even more like the back of a van with him stuffed inside it.

What's the problem with the colours of the away kit being down to city link? It's an away kit, not our actual colours so I don't care what colour it is. I quite like it (actually, quite like both kits) and as far as I know (as supporters) we don't have any beef with city link? So why the fuss?

personally i think the away socks should of been the same colour as the shorts, apart from that i like it.

as for the city link colours, i think thats quite a genius idea - they sponsor the kit and pay for it so why shouldn't they have a say in the colours, and from the clubs point of view, we are offering more than just the name on the shirt so in future if we follow a similar example we could attract larger sponsorship deals.

my only concern woul dbe City Link sponsorship deals is going into its last year, so unless it gets renewed we will be having 2 new kits again next year, and if we have new sponsors whose corporate colours are a bit dodgy, we could end up with some hideous away kits!!!

Just read the interview and Baker is talking about needing to feel 100% comfortable in the kit to give 100% in the match.

WTF? Baker is so fashion conscience, he thinks the kit need to look good on him to play well in it. What one earth, I have never heard anything like it. A footballer who worries about what he looks like when playing

Can you imagine if a side like Blackpool came in and Baker tells Holloway "No I don't think I will join you, I feel uncomfortable playing in a bright orange kit because it makes me look fat"

He's said it because they're asking for quotes and he's saying he likes it. But if you want to try and psycho-evaluate a footballer on some meaningless quote, go ahead.

part of the trade off for having their colours as the away kit i reckon, the green and yellow logo would look crap on the sky blue home shirt so gone for plain white, and as a compromise the away kit is city links colours

If the away socks are anything but white, we instantly look like Mansfield. We're already closer to them than I'd like, let's cling on to some kind of delusion while we can.

If anyone's wondering about the sizing, I'd advise going a size bigger than you usually would if you've got any kind of gut situation going on.

The pattern on the lower part is bolder than I thought it'd be, fabric is a little thin but other than that, tippity top!

Quite smart kits, let's hope we've got a team to put them on at the start of the season!
