We've broken from our traditional all blue (or blue with white trim)shirts this season to go with blue and white halves.  I like it. I think I shall be buying one at our opening home game tonight. ;D |

Doesn't hurt to break tradition if there is a general approval amongst fans. At AFCW, the fans are asked to design home, away and 3rd kits and members vote for their favourite. We have, in my living memory, played in predominantly blue with yellow or white trim. away kits have been yellow with blue trim (obviously), all white, all red and even red and green but this seasons competition flirted with controversy when someone designed an all PINK kit!!!

Our main away shirt this year looks like the flag of St George. Hopefully we won't wear that strip when we go to Wrexham!

Who do you support? I'd like to see it and I would INSIST it was worn at Wrexham being a true patriot!

He's Kettering.
Peekay, that looks very nice. I see it's been spread with butter so ought to taste good too. We wore a new "away kit" on Saturday which apparently isn't what we'll be using (which I thought was a shame because I really liked it) but the design will be similar, just with different colours. It's a bit late obviously, but we'll have it soon!

If Leek Town suffer a heavy defeat, will the reports say that the opposition cut through their defence like a knife through Kerrygold? ;D

Kerrygold have been the shirt sponsor since the 97-98 season. They are the second largest employer in the town after Britannia Building Society who have their head office here. Britannia were the shirt sponsor before Kerrygold but decided their money was better off going to Stoke City instead.  Incidentally, I work across the road from the big Kerrygold plant. There's a lot of construction going on there right now as they're expanding the factory. I managed to bag the second from last shirt the other night (short sleeve). ;D |

I used to live at the other end of the road where there was an Airfix factory (for those of you not old enough to remember, Airfix were the largest manufacturer of self assemble models). My Grandad worked there and used to get me freebies. The factory burnt down one night and in its place they built a flan factory where as kids, we used to blag the rejects.
Neither Airfix nor Flan Co. sponsored Wimbledon by the way, the mention of local industries just reminded me of this this tale !

Our home kits have been red most seasons since reforming, though in our second season we had a sky blue away kit while the old red kit became our third kit. Though the season after a new red kit was released and the blue kit was demoted to 3rd kit.
Currently we have our home kit in our traditional white and away kit in red. Not sure what our third kit is now. We made a deal last season for adidas to be our kit suppliers which only allows us to use adidas kits. Therefore our blue kit from hummel can't be used now supposedly. As this home shirt is definitely being used next season it could be that we try and get by with 2 kits this season as we did in our first year, then release a new away kit and the old away kit becomes the 3rd kit for the next season.
Oddly enough I am wearing the blue shirt today.
