    It most definitely is, it has some contrast rather than just a red trim that doesn’t match it like ours, you can actually read the sponsor.
    The atrocious pink kit is way down in things that are wrong currently.

    It was me and I stand by my opinion that it looks far better than Southampton’s and I actually like it. Objectively, what’s up with it?

    Is that possible to answer objectively? My subjective opinion is I don't like the colour for a sports kit. I think it looks more like a set of pyjamas than it does a football kit. That's not just the colour, it's also that the shirt, shorts and socks are all the same colour which lends itself more to nightwear than sportswear. Also, pink has no connection with the club or the town. It's not used in any of our branding, and never has been, and it's not a colour that is used in any of the various emblems of either the club or the town or in any marketing material. Nor is it a colour that we have any tradition of using previously as kit.

    The closest I can get as an objective view is that the trim, logos and numbers are in a shade of red that is very difficult to see and differentiate against a pink background. That's not my opinion, it's basic colour theory. And the branding used on the pink kit is different to that used on both the grey and red kits and in a different place to the red kit, so there's no cohesion or continuity between the three kits. Again, that's objectively true rather than an opinion. At first glance (and further inspection as the branding is so difficult to see) the three kits look like they're made for different teams.

    To be honest, I find it difficult to believe that they could have made so many fundamental errors when designing a set of football kits.

    Everything I’ve already said about it plus the Skeggy tat shop transfer badges and especially the Toby Tyke badge, that’s not our club crest, sane reason last season’s 3rd was ruined

    Ours is horrendous and a bloody jinx. Got a feeling it'll get at least one outing over Christmas if not two.....

    Southampton one is ok, at least you can see there badge ours is a Power Point nightmare of which colours to use so you can see other detail, throw into that the dog then imo there is no comparison, one is decent the other horrific
