New Kits 23/24

[YEO YEO YEO]

I really like that. Very smart, apart from the weird square on the back

It looks like a Rugby top.

Expecting some scrums at Vale Park next season seeing that

Probably not much different to watching us try and play football last season to be fair.

Unconfirmed at this time if we’ll now be playing “Swing Low” pre kickoff rather than “Wonder of You”.

Wife said Rugby top. The bottom hoop won’t help those of us who own a barrel rather than a six pack in the gut area! Like the fact it’s a bit different again. Will grab it tomorrow.

He's in your squad for the Ashes.

Jeeez..... Not again, we have better talent elsewhere.

That’s the Staffs Uni logo as they sponsor us so been on all our recent kits.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

That's a great kit, a bit unconventional in a good way. Nice to see the gold

 

[Luke Imp]

I love our new home shirt!

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Very retro. Reminds me a little of our 98/99 home shirt. I wont be buying, as i dont buy the shirts, but i like it

 

[valefan16]

Nice that Lincoln one. The black of the sleeves gives it something a bit different as it’s always limited what you can do with stripes I guess.

 

[kieran_vale]

Interesting little twist with the black stripe on the sleeves and the black on the sides. Saying good things about red and white stripes is not something I do as a matter of course but that looks a smart design.

[Bar Carousel]

Always impressed how non-global clubs manage to get their new kits announced and on-sale exactly when there is the highest demand for them in the holidaying summer months.

Ours normally get announced a day or two before the first pre-season friendly (sometimes after and we have to play in last seasons kit), and on-sale in late September.

Could never acknowledge a red and white striped shirt is nice obviously, but i really like the Port Vale shirt.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Quite like our new shirt. Not sure I will be buying as I have about 10 others and numerous training shirts and t-shirts, but it does look quite smart.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Not a fan of blue shorts.

 

[valefan16]

1000 sold in the first 6 hours, huge queues which was nice to see!

Who the heck are "Oxen"?

I like the vale kit but it's not going to be very flattering for middle aged men...

Looks like they mostly do Rugby League stuff. Only us and Donny use them in football

They also seem to be linked to Elite Pro Sports, who have run the Club Shop and online for the last few years.

We had our own in house brand Valiant Leisure for a while in the 90’s not sure how it worked though, remember Leicester did something similar at the time.

That Lincoln kit is outstanding

 

[Si Robin]

The only negative to that Lincoln kit is the lack of stripes on the back.

It's so the numbers can be easily defined.

To my memory, you traditionally wear black shorts?

I know why - doesn't mean I agree with it

EFL rule now isn't it? Hence why our hoops don't go all the way around.

Was there not a Reading kit where the numbers could not be read? They were red but the stripes made it diffcult to read?

Is it a brand new rule?

Sheffield Weds had stripes on the back of their shirts last season.
