Im thinking not. Seems a bit late in the day. Mind you, i havent noticed too many new strip reveals this summer, from other teams either. usually i see loads on my socials

I have to say, I aint a fan of last seasons top.

Think what we wore in Aaron Doran’s testimonial is this years. There was mention made in one of the articles in the build up.

I was under the impression that strip was just for the testimonial. And that strip, as far as i know, has neve been unveiled as the new strip, unless i missed the reveal?

I like it even less than last years top haha

or perhaps not ..... https://ictfc.com/highland-hospice-named-our-official-2025-26-charity-partner/

Was sure I read something in one of the articles in the build up to Aaron's testimonial that this was the new shirt but the article on the club site indicates early August for a new kit.

I really hope they keep the black kit for another season and actually order some. That - to me - was an absolute belter and before admin it was said there were more to arrive around Xmas time last year, Never materialised of course. Would love to get my hands on one in my size but it was never available.

I asked about new strip in the shop on the day of the testimonial. They said it was due in at the end of the month/ start of August. I'm not sure if it is the testimonial strip, but I am not a fan. It has a strange neckline and looks a bit jester like in IMO.

I just really want another load of the black tops in. Superb and never got my hands on one

I’m sure I read somewhere that the new kits would be here around the start of the league season and a new shirt sponsor announced.

The Highland Hospice logo is being used to cover up ILI on last year’s kit until the new ones arrive.

Saturdays kit was just a testimonial kit for Aaron's game, supplied by Highlandia Sportswear. Kit supply will still be Puma if the new 1st team training kit is anything to go by!

Admin will have presumably affected getting a strip out this summer ahead of the new campaign not to mention the issues we had with Puma as a result of the previous regime that took staff time to unravel.

Last I'd heard, Puma wanted nothing to do with us unless we cleared debt and honoured previous agreement. That may well have changed, but I'd not be overly upset at us using another manufacturer.

Kit provision is way more complicated than most realise. Having a manufacturer who's willing able to meet our meagre volume requirements and provide that in even smaller batch sizes, within a decent timeframe, when needed, can/will only be done by a few suppliers... especially if we want something bespoke. Those are the likes of Errea, Joma, Macron who pretty much do 'print on demand' type service.

Likes of Puma will, for bespoke designs, want large/full order at the outset, will manufacture everything in one batch, then store and deliver as required. Don't order enough, and you struggle to get a small additional order. Order too many and you lose money on surplus stock.

I don't buy shirts for myself, but I do for nieces and nephews. They don't care who manufactures it, and they really don't care a lot about the design. They're just chuffed to have the newest shirt. If the club were to go the non-bespoke route while we get fully back on our feet financially, I'd still be buying them, and the recipients would still be wearing them.

I missed out on the 30th anniversary away top. Probably the best one ever. At the time, due to ICT still holding on to SG et al, I kept my money in my pocket. By the time they'd left the shirts had sold out. Not bought a shirt in years but would have bought a couple of those. (and still would) Oh well.

That's the one - There was never any stock in certain sizes so I could not even get one when available. Would love for AS to have it re-issued even if it has the normal badge and not sold as a 30th anniversary top. Given how few we had, most fans never got the opportunity to buy any 30 year merchandise.

Just in passing, Palace's new home strip for this season looks remarkably similar to a couple of shirts Caley have had in earlier years

I'm in the same boat. Kept checking on the offchance that they would come back in stock. Such a great shirt.

Would also love them to do some of the new strips for babies, my wee man needs one.

I appreciate that admin and our contractual issues with Puma have been a massive obstacle but not having a strip 24hours before the first league game of the season isn't a great lookfor a professional club.

Hopefully we'll see something today as I have 2 young boys waiting for their chance to get a new shirt. You don't see ICT shirts over here so they love wearing them.

They will have to wait a bit longer I think.

Heard it’s the middle of August for the announcement?

The order was probably delayed by all the administration issues so it’s not surprising it is not here for the league season starting.

False Alarm, just a guy instead.

Anyone heard any further news on this given we are now almost at the end of August?

This is an extract of the summary of the recent Fans Meeting, a link to which was shared on here following the meeting. The Andrew quoted is Andrew Benjamin, the club’s Commercial Director:

https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/summary-of-fans-meeting-16-aug-2025

When will the new strips be launched?

Andrew advised that there would be new home and away strips. They were originally expected on 21 July but got delayed. He hoped the players’ strips would be delivered next week, and that we would be able to launch the strips before the game on 30 August.

Tomorrow morning 10:00am

Was it worth the wait. Not sure I like the jeans...

Alongside the kit launch, the club are also delighted to announce a brand-new shirt sponsorship deal with Craig Wood Solicitors as our new shirt sponsor.

Andrew Benjamin, Commercial Director at ICTFC, said: “We are proud to have Craig Wood Solicitors involved in such a prominent manner, and this partnership highlights the club’s continued commitment to working with local businesses throughout the Highlands.”

John Maccoll, Senior partner at Craig Wood Solicitors, said: “We believe the club has a very exciting future ahead, and we’re proud to be part of this journey with them. Supporting our community is something we truly value, and we’re pleased to continue strengthening the link between local businesses and our community’s football club.”

We hope that our supporters will love the new look, and we are excited to reveal the away kit next week. Both kits stand as a testament to the club’s ambition and progress.

With this launch, the fantastic support of our new sponsors, and the strong start our players have already made on the pitch, we look forward to an exciting season ahead for ICTFC and our loyal fans.

My initial thought was the badges are spread to far apart. I like the stripes though so it’s a yes from me.
