Errea have done a historical third kit for Norwich. I wonder what we'd have got from them if they had dipped into the archives for our third kit.

So I'd only just noticed that the Pompey crest is a sideways version of the Star and Crescent, commonly associated with Islam. Did a bit of a Google and found:
PORTSMOUTH STAR AND CRESCENT COAT OF ARMS
In 1194 it was King Richard I, Richard the Lionheart, who granted the Town of Portsmouth its first charter. The star and crescent symbol is also present on the seal of William de Longchamp, Bishop of Ely, who as Lord Chancellor, was involved in the in the granting of Portsmouth's charter.
It is believed that the Town of Portsmouth adapted the symbol to use as its coat of arms in tribute to King Richard, for his patronage in granting Town status. The Star and Crescent symbol is known to have been used by Mayors of Portsmouth from at least the seventeenth century and probably earlier from the middle ages.
King Richard I had apparently adopted the star and crescent as a royal badge after capturing Cyprus.
Love a bit of history.

After all the fuss on here up to the release of the away kit last week all the enthusiasm seems to have evaporated for today's home strip launch.
Have the club misjudged it?

Love that Norwich kit. I would like to see some more harking back to the 80s/90s golden era of kits. .

That is fantastic.

Not so keen myself. The collar design is hideous. And, no matter how long they wear shirts with that particular sponsor's logo on front, my brain will never, ever allow me to read it without seeing it as "Gobshite".

It's one of those shirts you think you should probably hate, but actually quite like (see also that pink & purple Sunderland kit). Obviously a tribute to the Jeremy Goss, Ruel Fox, Mark Robins sort of era.
It's better than their previous kit selection, which encompassed a yellow home shirt with green trim, a green away shirt with yellow trim, and a (brilliantly conceived) yellow & green hooped third shirt. Genius

Yeah I really like it even though it should be awful. 90s is back in fashion (makes me feel very old) and so it probably makes sense from a sales point of view too.It's one of those shirts you think you should probably hate, but actually quite like (see also that pink & purple Sunderland kit).

Their away top looks better than ours. Sponsorship and badge both in 'Volt'.
