Nike call it the Trophy design. IMO we've had a lot worse.
Now this is not the typical like/dislike design thread – not that these opinions are unimportant. It is an analysis on how we got to here and what the future kit situation could be – it’s a way to occupy a Friday evening

Last season’s home design is not possible. According to this 2009-10 catalogue, it was only in production from ‘01 Apr 08 - 19 Mar 11’.
Nor is this season’s stripy design. According to this 2010-11 catalogue, it was only in production from ‘01 Apr 09 - 19 Mar 11’.
According to this 2011-12 catalogue, the Trophy design is new and in production from ‘01 Apr 11 - 19 Mar 14’. Additionally the current light blue away and plain white shirts are both in production from ‘01 Apr 09 - 19 Mar 12’.
Examining this in the round, I don’t think the JustSport deal has been a good one – not for anyone who buys the kit anyway. At best there have been some poor decisions in the shirts, shorts and socks chosen. There have simply been too many changes.
Now this isn’t a long anti-KT/The Club rant – well it is long. My point is I hope better decisions can be made in the future. If there is a new home shirt next season it has to be with some restraint on further kit changes i.e. retaining the IMO horrible light blue for the 2011-12 season – even though I prefer the all white - and an assurance that the home shirt for 2012-13, subject to new agreements with JustSport and Bridle, will be kept for two seasons. A club should have only one new shirt a season, rotating between home and away alternative.
