"The eye-catching vibrant away shirt was initially inspired by the plethora of water lilies along the River Cam, with the imagination growing further afield to an aqua-inspired floral baroque design, which can often be seen in far-eastern pottery"
Ahahahahahah, make it stop. I can't breath.

I’ve generally preferred the away kits in recent years but that is just awful. Are we hoping to shock teams into falling over so we can score?

So here come 2024/25 CUFC, resplendent in Garden Centre fashions.
Oh dear. What have we done? It is truly vile, but I do think it is a brave and brazen effort and I am guessing it will sell quite well. Guessing the shirt collectors/fanboys etc will absolutely love this.
The 'inspiration' narrative is a bit sad if I'm honest.

Christ on a bike!!!
That is awful. The marketing blurb that accompanies it is even worse.
The tall model guy looks like he’s getting a bit handsy with the lady model in a couple of the photos.

I hate it, and absolutely love that they've done it.

Given I’m in my 50’s and don’t wear replica shirts, I asked my teenage son for his view and it he thinks it’s crap so that’s £50 I won’t be spending

Gloriously awful. I wouldn’t be seen dead actually wearing one, obviously, but the absolute RAGE already appearing in our social media comments is hilarious and for that reason I love it.

It's amazing. I love how much I hate it.
I don't buy football shirts anymore but if I was ever going to buy one I'd get this just so I could peacock around town and turn a few heads.
It's just the right amount of crazy. I hope it sells through the roof. Brilliant, just brilliant. I take my hat off to whoever came up with it.

It's certainly different. Would've been better if the pattern was just on the sleeves with a white body, but still. I won't be buying it but admire the club going bold.
