I wonder if we'll be going with red or white home shorts?
I'm firmly in the white camp. That's our traditional kit as far as I'm concerned...

I like both kits and can't get too excited over the fact that that the deal has been done with Pro Direct rather than Adidas directly. We're Swindon Town not Bayern fucking Munich...what does it matter? I've never been bothered by the 'generic template' thing either. We're only going to be wearing it for one season and once it has our players names on it, our sponsors and our badge (iron on, stick on, sew on or whatever) that will be individual enough for me.

Pay attention in the video and its red shorts for home, white shorts for away.

I agree i prefer white home, especially with a basic shirt. I kind of think black shorts for away would have been nice.

Didn't watch the video...schoolboy error! Yes, white shorts for home, black/dark shorts for the away kit which is pretty pale anyway to start with...

Not that it really matters for just one season...

I think the away will look smart assuming all the numbers/names will be black font (must be right?)

Better than last seasons home kit. At least with them being basic templates this time there’s never going to a shortage of stock you’d hope.

Edit: I see there’s going to be a price increase compared to last season, that’s a bit shameful for a templated shirt.

You do love a moan don’t you?
Most the adidas kits we’ve had have been templated…. As are most of the kits in the EFL.

The price won’t be any more than other fans are paying.

Looks nice, if a weirdly baggy collar. It'll do.

But I don’t get how it’s going to cost more for a templated kit versus the personalised ones of the past few seasons so it’ll just mean an even bigger profit margin.

Obviously if you don’t want to pay then don’t buy one but overpriced football shirts are big news at the moment so it would be nice for a club to make a stand against this trend.

The overpriced shirt discourse is around kits that are sold with a performance variety at £125 and a fan variant at £85. Our kits will not be close to that price!

Football shirt pricing in general is ludicrous.

All kits now a days, rightly or wrongly, are overpriced. Whether they’re templated or not.

I just don’t think it’s fair to use it as another stick to hit the club with.

You buy a kit to support the club. I don't see the need for top clubs to charge £100, but lower league clubs need all the help they can get.
