All green home kit with white trim & reverse it for the away kit.
Make it a little bit retro and they would sell a fair few IMO.

Gets the prize for the most sensible comment on the internet this week.

no stripes and it will sell more. Wh we have them now when they are not historically our kit choice is a joke

Without the orange logo in the middle of it, that shirt might not look too bad as a training shirt.As an alternative away shirt it is awful. I wouldn't dream of spending money on that. Apart from the fact purple ( along with tangerine, grey, light blue and yellow ) have absolutely nothing to do with Argyle what so ever. What makes it even worse is there is no attempt to incorporate green into the design what so ever.

In Italy a couple of years ago, it was very noticeable that the fashion in colours in both men and women's clothes at that time included dark green and lilac. Some of it didn't look bad either. So green and lilac can be incorporated together but I expect that would need some imagination and probably cost far to much. Much easier to palm us off with something that has nothing to do with PAFC.

Will they be supplying a pretty little matching lace hanky to go with their lilac shirts.

I would have thought under floodlights, lilac would clash with light blue,white and other light shades, the home strip wouldn't clash with hardly anyone else.

its an away kit its doesnt have to have anything to do with argyle in terms of colours used. We are not going to have a white away shirt every season if only for erchandise reasons alone.
Home colours green and white are the ones that shouldnt ever be changed.

Sorry Angry,

got to totally disagree with that. The modern trend of playing away matches in any goddamn colour except the clubs traditional colours is just an excuse to rip off fans. Fans who will buy anything because it has something to do with the club is purely a cynical attempt to get fans to part with their money.

no club plays in traditional colours for away kit as that's the whole point of away kits to be different from the home and as i say no fan will keep on buying white away tops every season hence why they change colours, to make that money.

What rips fans off at the end of the day is changing both the home and the away kit every season and charging £50 a pop every time when there is either no real need to do it, the new kit doesnt look that different from its predecessor at all, or there is an desire motivated by sales to change either kit to warrant changing both.

Its only recently clubs have gotten away with changing both every year instead of one evey year thanks to the EU.

Well they won't be ripping me off because I won't be buying any of them. I've never bought a shirt that wasn't green. I haven't bought any of the recent shirts because the designs have been cr@p and the green is now darker than ever..................and I sure as hell wouldn't buy that scarf either.

I would be amazed if that many if any do buy that purple kit or that scarf.

Why can't we just have a plain green shirt with white trimming for home and a plain white shirt with green trim for away?

I should ignore daft straw man arguments like that, but tell me how does releasing a shirt in a horrible colour that no one other than Wankspasm wants to buy help the club make money

because if you keep having the same kits every year folk will just keep the old one and wouldnt buy the new one because their would be no point. Thats why they do it.

Nobody suggested not changing the shirt design, just not the colours. W're supposed to play in Green

and we still do and that wont change ever for the home kit. As for the away kit that is free for all. I gurantee this time next year due to the very poor sales of the purple kit they will either pick an old favourite with fans white or yellow to try and recover losses on it.

So you're saying that the club do this to make money but that if this kit fails to do that then they'll go back to white or yellow?

Why not therefore stick to white and/or yellow and merely change the design and layout of the same popular colours?

I would imagine that Argyle have to guarantee purchasing a certain level of stock from the manufacturer on a no return basis to make it worth their while. We must be the only club in the football league that can sell a £5 product for £40 and still make a loss.

its like i say if the keep bringing out the same kit people wouldnt buy it as much as if it was completely new. I say they will revert back to an old favourite next season like white or yellow because this purple kit wont sell that many due to it being gopping in taste and decency. I dread to think of the poor sods who go to Luton next season and have to watch us play them in bright purple and they bright orange.

We the football fans are seen as customers to clubs now.
The yellow kit of last season which i wouldnt bet against them still using next season as its now our 3rd kit wasnt that great but if i was incahrge of merchandise at the club i would have pushed to keep that one over this new one.

Just as well we don't have to play Burton any more. It'd be like watching UKIP.
