Probably still having therapy then.

I absolutely loved the Light blue and white stripes shirt, for the old club. But we do need something to represent a new club.

Sorry if I'm being thick or have missed it, but does this mean were getting new macron home and away kits too? Or just the 3rd kit keeping this current years white and yellow kits?

Out of the 3 I think sky blue is an interesting departure from the norm, the red and blue both look a bit bland to me, whereas sky blue stands out.

Existing white and yellow made kits by the current manufacturer will be retained for next season. Macron will just be supplying the 3rd kit. Confirmed by Ralph on the member's forum.

Superb, very sensible decision too.

I know how difficult it is beinv limited to a non-customised off the peg shirt option, whilst maintainjbg enough individuality to make a worthwhile shirt choice.

Out of interest, i was browsing Macron's off the peg colour choices for kits and noticed their Hagen model shirt comes In White with a blue and red trim, that looks smart.

Browsing through there you can see a few familiar classics.

The Iveland in sky blue and white
The emir in yellow and black


I think the decision to stick with the two fantastic kits we have now and introduce a third to keep some extra shirt money coming in, help a good cause And offer the kit team an important extra choice is great.
