We could be leading the way as a green stadium if the uni wanted to incorporate thier technology to showcase it, like the energy generating flooring they were working on.

I suspect that's part of the plan.

Couple more new kits unveiled from Hummel, with two unique collar designs I’ve not seen elsewhere before. I particularly like the home one here.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I had a go at creating a speculative design, largely based around the stripes with chevron lines on the new Cambridge home shirt. And since we’re probably going to have a betting sponsor, why not go with Granada Bingo in the interim?

That is gorgeous!! Maybe black shorts to match the trim, like in the 70's?

I obviously can’t resist tweaking, so here’s a different collar design too.

I may be talking bollocks, but i'd prefer we keep the same kits as last season.

I understand that it's a revenue stream, but i would imagine, especially if we have a reasonable start to the season, that the current kits will continue to sell in fair numbers.

We've got the best kits we've seen since the 90's and i think a shame to change them.

It's not about you talking bollocks... It is just never gonna happen.

When I was a kid, kits would normally last 2 seasons. Coventry were one of the first teams to have a kit every season. I think the Pony home one from 94/95 then 95/96 was the last '2 seasoner'.

As I recall the rules on keeping each kit for 2 seasons were dropped at the end of the 90s, after that teams would produce at least two new kits every season. Personally I don’t see a problem with it; for those who really want to (and can afford it), you can buy all the kits, or you can just buy the ones you care about, or wait until the end of the season for the inevitable reductions (I’d say they were taken surprise by demand for last season, but hopefully they’ll produce more this time round).

Like it. would love you forever if you could you do a 96/98 dark blue stripes mock up in a similar format, maybe a cheeky collar... possibly use that skyblue/dark blue checks that was on the trim. spice it up for the modern age. I know its not universally loved but it was a really striking set of shirts.

I’d love to, but sadly the template I’m using doesn’t have a decent collar equivalent to that era I may email the guy who builds them and suggest some collars be added to the standard set. I can certainly try a variant which is navy for the stripes though.

Can't mate, this Watford kit had a collar on it, 3 years ago now but I wish we could have something like that. Obviously a totally different colour.

That would be great, we've had a couple of misfires with the skyblue/dark stripes since so would love to see nice version

None of those really appeal to me. The kit at 115 though is a beauty.

In case this is of interest to anyone, in the process of making these I had to clean up the club badge that’s available as SVG on wikipedia, so if anybody wants a monochrome version for their own messing around just give me a shout.

I’d love to see us go back to the sky blue dark blue shirt at some point but i feel the dark brings out the detail a bit too much in that template.

Yeah it’s a bit busy. We got around it back then by having the sponsor blocked out (and the Le Coq Sportif badge was black on a white border, to make it stand out too).

It's a good throwback, but it reminds me of Wycombe too much. We are the Skyblues, let's stick to that, be consistent with the one thing we can control at the moment

I tried, but I need a high-resolution scan of the pattern to make it work. A year or so back I had a go at reproducing the pattern from scratch but it’s incredibly fiddly. I actually ended up buying a second-hand Norwich kit on eBay (from the same season) with the intention of getting it scanned (once that’s done I can tweak the colours) but still haven’t gotten around to it, ha.
