I think the away kit is designed so if there is a floodlight failure the players can carry on in the dark with no problems.

Seemingly, the away kit is blue. I don't like the home kit as it is too early 2000s. Don't like the v-neck. People will buy in none-the-less.

No sponsors on the front?
You guys not know how much Mod Dec Windows shirts go for nowadays?!

Yes, but I’m not going to buy two of them, whereas I will buy a new one, even with very few changes.

I think I won't be buying until we get ones with a stitched club crest again - or a least a more durable form of printing.

The last shirt I bought (2019/20 away) only lasted two washes before the 1899 sponsor and club crest both started to peel.

Anyone experience this sort of thing with last season's shirts or has the quality improved?

Without sounding like Old Mother Hubbard I have had no problems with shirts - cold wash/no spin!

Away shirt looks great but I'm with the others on home shirt - too retro

I don't know if it's been a "constant seller even since the season has finished' but how many of those sold post-June will be to people who already have one?

No fan is going to buy two of the same shirts in successive years. But they might be tempted to buy a new one. That's why there's a new shirt.

Agreed, the printed badges make the shirts look cheap. Also shirt looks out of date rather than retro. I won't be buying it.

Wash inside-out on a cold wash. No problems.

Has this thread become a gentleman's guide to washing clothes? Remember, don't tmble-dry and only iron inside-out on a cool setting. :lol: :lol:

Possibly. :}
For the older shirts like the Mod Dec ones - Hand wash only.
I don't iron my shirts - I hang them on the line on a hanger and the creases fall out.... ;-)

If the sleeve had been reversed, then it might look retro. Matching collar and cuff... it looks patchwork.
