Third kit

 

[valefan16]

Nice that, something a bit different

 

[クレイグ]

I actually like that one, too.

 

[Son of Cod]

Looks like a Mexico kit.

We've had a teaser of ours and an interview about it in the last week:

I think I speak for the masses when I say GET ON WITH IT.

Ours out today

For clubs who traditionally wear stripes/hoops, there really isn't a whole lot you can do within that remit for home kits is there? More or less the same every year with the occasional wider/thinner stripe.

 

[Gladders]

Loving our new kit, bringing back a classic from the early 90s when I was a kid. Even got the yellow away kit too!

I think the opposite, club's with traditional plain kits seem to have a bigger problem trying to be anything other than bland and/or same old same old.

Biased no doubt probably due to the team I support but across the world stripped kits such as the Milan clubs, Barca, Sporting, Juve etc always seem to look classy and better than the plain janes.

I think it depends, in fairness we’ve traditionally a plain shirt but have had stripes, pin stripes, last season even hoops, black sleeves, all white, all white with gold, it’s maybe easier if you have three colours like we have the white, black and gold trim as you can mix it up a bit.

Hmm tasty!

Nice kits

Few people seem to be suggesting the third is a throwback to that red/pinky one from the early 90s too, partly because someone is wearing what looks to be that in that video. Yellow one looks class from that pic, really like the home one too but would have gone black sleeves personally.

White socks too

Pretty much although I don’t particularly like this version

Didn't like our hoops last season, but seems to work for you.

They are our identity that we adopted on getting back in the Football League

I don't approve of this at all. Much prefer us in red/black socks. We're definitely muscling in on Notts turf with this home kit.

Doesn't matter, as it was said in the video, we are the biggest club that play in black and white

Lots you can do if you just accept a small backlash and then watch the decent sales.

Carlisle just take the view it has blue it has white red in somewhere and frankly do what you like with it.

Some popular, some hated but they get good sales because normally not like for like.and our ‘disasters’ are usually our best sellers, like the fruit salad top last season which was a massive seller for a club our size.

Do stripes in different directions, do staggering stripes, do stripes with different patterns etc etc

Don't think we'd go for the red trim.

Really nice kit, like the collar.

 

[PaulHaddock]

My only gripe is I wish the sleeves were also striped. Apart from that they’re both really good (third kit looks decent from the single available shot of it as well).

Awful kits

Unsurprisingly the Tranmere shirt is white.

With a tinge of brown shit?

Think is it means bugger all what we think. The marketing people sit down with designers and kit suppliers and go with what they think.

Don’t know how true it is but told we have had more successful seasons when the kit is more white than black??

Red socks are a relatively new thing. Don’t remember us in the 60’s or beforehand wearing red socks?

No spicehead.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

That Grimsby kit looks a bit heavy, hope Rose can stay on his feet while wearing it.

You'd do well to remember but we had red socks for the whole of the 30s and 40s, then sporadically until 1969, then the whole of the 70s, then not again until 2004. Been majority red since then. I prefer them red but I'm fine with white with a red turn down. Black's a no from me personally. The more white, other than keeping black shorts, the better, for me
