Poor effort that, I quite like the home kit but the graffiti ‘B’ spoils it. Looks like I won’t be buying any replica kit this year. Yeah, the logo kills both for me. At the least they should have made the background to the graffiti Bs transparent on both.

Even worse than the white Vandanel Kershaw sponsored shirt with the four amber claw marks on the side monstrosity from some years back.

All the shirts are the bollocks if you ask me! now which one will look 'good' on a 60 year old big lump?

It looks like they've taken two rather nice plain designs and then given them to an ice hockey fan on LSD and said 'design us a pattern on an etch-a-sketch!'.
That said, the home kit is thankfully only messed about with on the shoudlers. I'm thinking of buying it. I just wish they'd gone for the good-old umbro sign running down the sleeve like our old 80's kit.

It's getting some love in twitter land
Much of the twitter comments are appreciative of our kits too.
I quite like the graffiti B. It's not taking itself too seriously and I like that.

I would imagine that Sales will be high for this kit as well and so ultimately its a success for the club. I suspect that there are a few older fans on here here who don't like it but the 'kids' seem to and its they who will buy it or in my household ask me to buy it!

I think the sponsor logo looks like a more modern theme which helps with the appeal. As great as Mick George were to the club, the logo and the fact they were a skip hire company clearly had an impact on the look and the 'cool' factor for some of the younger ones.
Lots of Shirt accounts on Twitter saying the white kit is their favourite in the EFL and even found a Posh fan who said he was gutted they weren't with Umbro!

The home shirt is ok, but the sponsor sticks out a bit too much. The away is superb though. Pure 90s. Love it.
Also it's quite nice to have gone retro without relying on the reimagined old designs. As much as I love them, it's nice to have something completely different.
I still don't like Umbro though.

I suspect that there are a few older fans on here here who don't like it but the 'kids' seem to and its they who will buy it or in my household ask me to buy it! I would also have thought the away kit was hideous when I was a kid. Not sure it's a generational thing, more a taste thing? I mean, the two amber lines that meet on the right hand side of it kind of 'pointing' to the sponsor's logo- why? The amber scribble partially covered by the button-up neck. Horrible and tacky-looking. I'm dreading the cataract operation I'm having in 10 days now because I'll actually be able to see it with both eyes! Ah well, if the club make a ton of money out of it and we win plenty of games wearing it I'll care a lot less.

It's hideous, I like it😜 3rd kit incoming. What are we going to wear at Port Vale?Amber shirts and shorts I expect. A team wearing white amber & black playing a team wearing amber black & white, there must be a clash there somewhere. It will make my eyes hurt anyway.

I see the issue, but their shirt is predominately white, so we could get away with an all amber kit that match I reckon. pvfc-shop.com/portvale/Photos/9ED4A496C6AE467FBE1635A178DD94A6.pngThat is an odd kit though!

For all the whinging, it's done well. Home shirt did the same I believe.
