Away shirt gets the vote

Chappy nets the new away shirt
It is our new white away shirt that has won the day after our voting poll this week with almost three quarters of you giving it the thumbs up.

After a massive vote over the last three days 74% of you have said that you like the new away kit.

That can come as no surprise after we were left playing over the past two seasons in navy blue, grey and that ridiculous 120th anniversary shirt of amber and black in our 121st year.

The fans have said often enough that they prefer white and that is more than reflected in the vote with the only criticism the fact that there is no claret on the shirt whatsoever to go with the blue shorts and socks.

The home kit has not received anything like the same enthusiasm and you have voted just about 50/50 with the ‘Yes’ vote winning by under 20.

The neck and the sponsor’s logo have been given as the main reasons for not liking the new kit. Having said that I think there will be many of them on view come the beginning of next season.

The home strip is available from the club shop with the away shirt available later in the month.
