Will we ? Have they announced it’s gonna be worn at the Newport away friendly next Tuesday ?
I thought they would unveil it at the home friendly against Charlton.

If 'Mr. Vegas' ends up in lime green it will be a let down. Let's hope they do it in white..
Agree, but it will be white which is a bonus.
Those pics are definitely AI mock ups, zoom in on the badges !
Also heard on the Tilehurst end podcast (which is hosted by a pair of clueless clowns) that the leaked shirt they’ve seen has collars, the hoops have a black border and Mr Vegas in green on a blue hoop ??
Have to disagree with you there, i've met them both and they're nice fellas. In regards to the kit you're talking about that was the first AI 'leak' that went round, i highly doubt it's that one.

People mentioning the use of AI and implying it takes away from the overall plausibility. The club are already using AI on their live product photos, zoom into the badge on this one:

and it has been live on their website to purchase for around a week now:

Why they would bother doing this, I don’t know. They look like professional shots they’ve then edited after the fact?

Home kit isn’t bad, but in needs a collar otherwise we’ll never get promoted.

Yeah fair enough if they’re already making AI slop for the website. Grim times.

Club teaser just gone out with top of the shirt...looks like the 94/95 kit with the red lining if that's indeed it.

If that is it's a nice shirt. If I could get it without the sponsor I would.

It’s a big yawn from me.

I’m not overly offended by the gambling. I’d prefer not to have a gambling sponsor, but whatever whatever. It’s just an extremely shit logo.

Nice shirt and back to white shorts. Hoops on the socks always a winner. But that fat hoop in the middle to accommodate the logo spoils it.

No collar either, so no promotion for another season.

That is a blue and white hooped shirt, so it will be easy to spot which team is us in home games next season.

Interesting (and actually a decent move) that the kids shirts have SCL as the front of shirt sponsor.

Decent enough short. Sponsors logo looks shite which ruins it

'greed, whatever the company does get a better logo. Also, kit launches are nearly always meh, except for that one time we sent one to space

Having said that I've had an email from off of the club saying it's more than just a shirt but I can't work out what else it is?
