2020/21 League 2 New Kits and Face Masks

[Son of Cod]

And have FGR definitely received theirs?

 

[Roger Stone]

Which teams are left to announce a kit?

Our home kit is on Friday

Our home kit is 1st September which must be the latest in the league. Due to a crowdfunded appeal for a choice of charity to go on the shirt front.

 

[Chris FGR]

And have FGR definitely received theirs?

One of the benefits of the season starting late.

Quite a few clubs* have yet to unveil the new kits. Off the top of my head there's Mansfield, Exeter, Macc, Bolton, Crawley and Salford.
Plus Notts /or Harrogate.

ps - * though I'm not sure if some clubs will be sticking with the current design for another year. I'm thinking Macc and Stags?

Nope apparently we've got new kits coming for no body to play in.

Did Mansfield already do that last year?

 

[Vanni]

I stand corrected re. Macc's home kit. Cheers Boss.

Shoddy, this is what was said on the Mansfield official site (14 June 2019) -

''The new kit, which shall be worn by the Stags for the next two seasons, will go on sale from the club shop on Quarry Lane or online via stagsclubshop.com.

The club’s owners, John & Carolyn Radford, introduce a new home kit every two years to help supporters maximise the value for money spent on purchasing replica kits.''

 

[Conker]

I like that policy to be fair, away shirt due this time. Although we do have a third kit too.

 

[Si Robin]

We alternate new kits every season - this season was home, next season will be a new away shirt.

The last time we changed home kits in consecutive seasons was when we had three new kits in a row from 11/12-13/14.

 

[Chris FGR]

In the 15-16 season we forgot to launch our away kit until mid September, and when it was launched the players modelling it were wearing different colour shorts.

Forest Green unveil new Puma away kit for 2015/16 season

We used to do it that each shirt lasted two years, but haven’t done it now since 2010.

We actually had 4 kits in our promotion season, 2 home (one temporary as just out of admin, a pink third and yellow away!)

Were having three this year and have had a third kit on a few occasions (usually because of Bradford or Notts County!) as our away kits are often black or yellow!

 

[Chris FGR]

Can't imagine shirts will sell too well this season at most clubs. A lot of people are skint and can't wear it to games anyway.

 

[Luke Imp]

We also used to alternate between a new home and away kit but it didn't last too long. We've had news ones every season for a while now.

Dont know... despite all the positive around our club some fans are raging they haven't seen the kits yet!

 

[Chris FGR]

Our new away kit has launched. Good to see our traditional black and white back on the kit in some form. Greenacres will be happy I reckon.

That's a cracker. Would put it 2nd best behind Cambridge's away kit.

 

[Si Robin]

Hummel are taking the piss now with the quality of their kits. Another cracker in that Southend one.

 

[Vanni]

It's the chevrons.

Agreed on that Southend shirt, smart effort. No comment on that FGR zebra shirt though.

 

[Vanni]

Good things come to those who wait

[Greenacres]

My favourite last season was Cambridge away, the blue and white one, it was a work of art...but this season, it is a toss up between our new away one (love it) and the Bradford goalie kit.

I usually like the Grimsby kit, because theirs is so similar to what our home kit used to be like before Dale started to mix things up a bit and gave Barcelona their badge back...it is OK, all the right colours, but for me not a classic.

You haven’t seen our away shirt then ...

 

[Si Robin]

I have and, aside from the shocking sponsor, I think it's decent:

 

[valefan16]

Nice top that Newport one, Vale colours too!

 

[Casey]

Crawley's new kit is red and white. Same as ever.

 

[Simpo]

I thought with this third kit being a "special edition", it was gonna be a super retro recreation of a classic kit, but no. It's nice enough though.

From a staff member's twitter account, these early sketches from the fan consultation design phase show a "blue Ajax" was under consideration at one point. I'd have preferred it to the, admittedly smart, blue home kit we ended up with. The other one, a combo of two early 90s kits, not so much.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

Gotta say, Oldham have got three great kits. Cambridge away and Southend home otherwise my favourites, I think.

FGR aren't you? What do you reckon of ours? Black and white stripes man myself and haven't bought a shirt in years since the change, but tbf these seem pretty popular, apparently sold quite a few already. I know a couple of people who haven't bought a shirt in a while that have gone for it with this one.

Yep, another one of us I like the shirt a lot - got mine on Saturday. A bit less aesthetically pleasing than last year's away kit, maybe - or at any rate a bit busier on the eye . But it's great to have traditional colours back (even the badge is only black and white).

I'm not that keen on the home kit - almost too much is going on there, but with white replacing that shade of green, I think it works really well.

 

[Reremnart]

No sign of our away kit yet. As has become the norm over the last few years the colours are chosed by a vote of supporters club members but that and the design is kept under wraps until the release. Just hope it is better than the God awful home, straight out of the Puma catalogue, kit. The only saving grace of that is that we have gone back to white shorts. The owner has said this is the last season of Puma and we are getting bespoke strips after this. The club has been holding a competition to design a season 21/22 home kit with a vote to decide the best one so hopefully we might get something decent then.
