Will there be a new shirt this season? When will it be released? What colour or design would you like?

Well, based on the home and away shirts usually being released in alternate summers, there should be one. I’m guessing it may be a throw back in colour and style to the ‘98 away shirt.

Extract from recent Robins Trust update email:-

We have also completed the process of deciding on the new kit to be released this summer - at CTFC we are rare in that we only release one new kit per season - this summer being the turn of the change/away kit. Whilst I can't say much more at this time, I look forward to you all getting eyes and hands on it.

Blue and yellow halves. Circa late 1990s.

About time we had the annual "Errea are bloody awful, when are we going to get a decent kit manufacturer?" debate.

My local national team recently switched from Macron to Errea and it’s humbling having to go up to XXL to get something that’s not absolutely skin tight

I love Errea, and the fact we've been with them for 26 years now. I'm quite sure that only Bayern Munich are the only club team in World football with a longer kit manuafacturer relationship.

Yeah no complaints about the quality - I just need to make my physique a little more ‘Italian’ :D

New away kit being launched tomorrow at 10am.

A brief tease on the clubs social media channels but pretty difficult to make it out.

The boy has his pennies saved and will be making a purchase on Saturday before the Blues.

I’m sure it will be mint…

We've been with them long enough now for you to know to buy a size or two bigger.

For what it's worth, I think the shirt looks lush

It looks alright but never sure about green kits on green pitches. Especially for us colourblind. Will have to wait and see it in action tomorrow.

Can't make my mind up, it could be one that grows on me. Would be nice to have a picture of the full kit with the black shorts and mint socks.

Looks very nice. I like it a lot.

My son will be all over that, which I guess is the point.

Should have orange shorts and white socks to match the flag ! Make Keena feel more at home.

Why is he posing with the Irish tricolour exactly? I don't have anything against it per se, but is it literally just because the kit's green and Keena's Irish? :lol: Otherwise, why not have players with the cross of St George, Bondsy with the flag of Guyana, etc? Or other players holding up pieces of turf or anything else that's green? Being that it's our clubs kit launch, it almost makes it look like we're an Irish club.

Next summer when our next red and white home kit is released, I'm gonna be fumin' if every English player modelling it isn't holding up English flags :lol:

Not sure if serious, but taking the question at face value, I think it's probably because Keena draping himself in the Irish flag after scoring against Wednesday was one of the iconic moments of the season.

Question for anyone who's been in the club shop:

Do they have kids shorts and socks on sale? Only the shirt is available online.

Yes. There were a few kids in full kit yesterday and we saw the shorts and socks in the shop.

Name and number printing isn’t available just yet though as they’re waiting for those to be supplied.

If Shade has a Coutts account that could be the answer to the ‘how do we fund a new stadium’ question.

"It's mint,mush". Don't think they're targeting me for sales.

This puzzled me. These aren't Gloucestershire sayings I don't think? "Mint" is pretty generic for "excellent" and mush is Cockney rhyming slang I think?

Maybe they should have gone for something more local: "Get this shirt or be a dinlo"
