Not last season.

In the prem you are allowed 3 kits you must keep the first kit for at least 2 years unless you change sponsor.

In the lower leagues you are allowed 3 kits and can change all 3 every season if you wish. With Crewe who I support they will have a new home and away shirt every year and the previous years away will become the 3rd kit.

Pretty much every football team in the Prem will have a new away shirt every season and obviously every other season will have a home shirt too so yes Utd did have 2 new shirts (or 3 maybe?) this year but thats because the home must have been up for replacement or just a change of sponsor.

Though tbh it wouldn't surprise me if Utd managed to be above the rules you know how football is with regards to Utd its like Leeds in RL.

Every team in the Prem changes atleast 2 of their 3 kits every season

even Latics released 2 new kits this season.

Latics have had two new strips every season since joining the Premier League. Don't think they've sold that many though

Indeed they do.. New strip every season without fail.

Exactly whoever keeps tryna say theres rules about kit changes hasnt got a clue. Personally I prefer new kits getting released every year in football and rugby. Apart from England RU who released 9 new kits in under 3 years! 4 home all 4 look more or less the same 2 of them are actually the same shirt just 1 with no sponsor and RWC badge same with black away kit they also had a purple kit I think they wore once maybe twice at most then a grey away that last about 8 months! But getting back to Wigan will we be going to black for away this season??

I would assume that the rules are null and void in the prem nowadays as even though most some teams keep a kit and change it to their third kit, most change each year, some teams, for example chelsea and fulham have both had 3 kits each for the past two years and they have both been updated this season, no sign of any of last years shirts. But as someone already pointed out, you do not have to buy it just because the club release it. I love buying my warrington and united shirts and tend to set aside money for when they come out so i can buy the new releases, then if i decided i dont like the kit i have some money to treat the mrs or myself with. win/win i suppose.

if we are going to traditional cherry and white hoops for home shirt, i would love blue and white hoops for away shirt

Call me crazy but, black and blue hoops for the away kit maybe?

Agreed. I'd love the away to be the same as the home but blue rather than cherry.

Loved the 2005 kits cos of that

I still don't understand why we have had so many black kits in recent years!

Didn't IL say at the fans forum they're trying to avoid blue kits as they don't sell well?

No.

He just pointed out that this year's pink kit had sold vastly more than the blue one, which was surprising to quite a few of us who thought that the pink would have put people off and pushed them toward the away top.

The away wasn't the greatest though.

The council top was naff, even the shade of blue that you get in cars that never sell well was wrong.

Not just that. But A, I would expect the home kit to sell "vastly more" than any away kit anyroad..... and B, The away kit was barely used, so no surprise to me that it didn't sell well. I mean we never saw it again after the June 4th match against Catalan and the fact it went unusued in the away derbies in particular detracted massively from it. It was a waste of time really!

Must say the home kit did grow on me BUT it's not our colours. Cherry & White all the way, stick to it!

Lets hope you go back to your tradional cherry and white hoops, last years just didnt look right

Something that narks me a bit with football to be honest.

If you are going to have a home and an away kit (never mind a 3rd kit), the home kit should ONLY be worn for home games, and the away kit be worn for every away game except where a clash is involved.

The default kit for away games should be the away kit, not the alternative to the home kit.

I wouldnt go that far, for example when you play us surely you want to see the cherry and white lining up against the primose and blue? not one of us forced to play in our away kit

I'd agree with that to be honest.

But then whats the point in having an away kit if its going to be worn at most 2 or 3 times in a season?

Just to be awkward, it think that the kits are termed main and alternative by the powers that be. The RFL determine which kits are worn, and it is published on the site, along with the edge kit.

And I hope we return to the cherry and white we are famous for.

what the hells that got to do with it.

our away colours are traditionally BLUE and white.

someone needs to have a word in ILs ear

What the hells that got to do with it? Because making money is more important than 'tradition' especially when it comes to shirts.
