Now you're all probably thinking, 'why on earth are we talking about this just now?'...However next season will be our 20th year and I believe the fans should have a say in what the new strip should be like.

The current away shirt was designed after consultation with CJT and from what I've heard the final design was submitted as early as December 2012. This could mean that the club and CJT are already or are about to talk about our new home shirt for next year. So its paramount we get our views in as early as possible!

I created this topic so fans will be able to express what they would like the new shirt to be and so CJT and the club could see the fans views.

Also FC United of Manchester present their members with 4 different shirt designs every couple of seasons. The fans then get to vote for their favourite with the winning shirt being the new home/away shirt. Would the club and CJT be prepared to do this for our special 20th year?

Now, I would normally ask for simple blue and red even and vertical stripes like the 95/96 shirt. NO fancy swooshes or diagonal stripes. NO more blue than red or vice versa, 50% blue and 50% red. However with the current red and black striped away I would be open to an all blue shirt with red/black trim like our 94/95 first strip. Also I would like to see a return to white shorts like we had between 94-97.

Is it time to start talking about the new home shirt yet? Well theres not really anything to play for now so why not eh. Personaly i love the anticipation of when the new home kit is out, don't care to much about the away tbh. I just hope its stripes! But would likke a FC Basel esque shirt if they were to go for somthing different.

Always thought thi was our best strip! Bring it back with a modern collar

I think our board just go on the Errea website and pick a blank canvas design then have Errea do the personalisations (ie crest and sponsor).
Going back to this would be a preference

I'm a stripe fan.

I thought it had already been chosen?

Well theres not really anything to play for now...

 

European football surely?

 

I think we should place more emphasis on the 25 year anniversary rather than 20 years but as long as it's stripes I'll be happy.

(I'm easily pleased eh!)

I think we have to go back to the blue and red stripes. The best tops we have had IMHO

I'm sorry but this talk about being exactly half red and half blue is utter *****. Also striped, at least when Errea do em look like some low league team from the 80s.

I much prefer simple designs, something strong. We are stuck with blue, just look at the stadium. The less clutter on the shirt the better. All we need is who we are, our sponsor and a player wearing it.

Minimalism is best.

In addition, if you want striped, a simple opacity gradient would work and look more modern, with modern printing techniques.

Triple post hell yeah!

IF the club want striped they need to change manufacturer. Adidas are the kings of striped kits. If we have to go down that road, go with a manufacturer who know what that are doing.

Has to be back to the red and blue stripes. Absolutely detest our current Rangers kit. I cant stand the fact we had an identity with our strip and we chose to look like many other teams, boring and bland, we need our identity back please

BBC Headline - "Inverness: John Hughes has Barcelona vision for Caley Thistle" I think the beeb have just mis-quoted yogi on all that passing stuff and he means the strips.   

What about something like this Kaizer Chiefs shirt, but in our colours? I think it's pretty smart. 

Good grief! That's a sight. It may suit the Kaizer Chiefs but as I can't think of a witty response, if we get a top like that, I forecast serious social breakdown and disorder.

Like this then?

 

 

That's the Tibet kit by the way.  Weirdly I saw someone in the Eastgate wearing one the other week!

Something like that, yeah. If the decision was mine, it'd be stripes, but something like this could be an interesting change. And it's still fairly close to stripes...

Strewth - that's a Dali Lama ;-)

Given the fact that the SPFL denied Aberdeen permission to have a display at the final which depicted a rising sun....not sure they'd allow it on any shirt!!!

Yeah, I just read that on P&B. Weird. 

When are the new shirts available are any dates set?

Not yet.

Don't know how to post images but this shirt is outstanding. Really not a fan of our current home strip but something bold like this would tempt me to buy my first shirt for years. http://images3.newscred.com/cD05ZWE1NTA1MDI0MDQxMjJmMTdkZmU0ZDEyNGMwN2RmYiZnPTQ3NDk0MjczODEzOGFmZGI5YzgwNDQ0Y2M1MzMzYzc2?action=padding&width=640&color=f4f4f4&height=427

I don't know why but when I see that strip I just think Rangers

I think it's far less SEVCO esque than the current 1980's train carpet style home strip but everyone will have their own opinions I'd also like something along the lines of this. http://www.eagles-clubshop.co.uk/content/images/thumbs/0000065_ss-home-jsy-13-14.jpeg I just hope whatever it is is bold rather then the current home top which I'm not a fan of personally.

as long as it's not that red and black crap I'm sure it'll be ok

Who makes the decision as to what the new strips look like? Is it the Chairman, manager, committee, fans, groundsman.........
