This is how teams get away with these one-off „European Competition“ kits, because all the European competitions have group stages now, so it’s easy.

It’s ADIDAS (again!) and KAIYUN SPORTS not MACRON, not BOXT, or UNHCR

Indeed so. There was never a perceived colour clash previously, and there shouldn't be one now.
If the yellow shirt's sleeves had the detailing on a colour other than blue (eg different shade of yellow, or grey for example) so that it doesn't look green from a distance (like a Norwich yo-yo shirt) then all three would be stone cold classics.

I wondered how long you'd wait for a Magala shirt.

They get away with it because they know that mugs will keep on buying them
It'll be a cold day in hell before I stump up 60 notes for a poor quality shirt that becomes last years design in 10 months
The whole 3 x per season replica kit is a disgraceful rip off

Has he singed yet?
I think ultimately this is the reason I'm not a fan. Nice idea, but the 'green' effect really puts me off it.

It's not actually as simple as that - red and orange is mentioned as one of the worst combos in terms of colour blindness according to UEFA documentation, which isn't a factor that used to be taken into account but there has been growing awareness of in the last couple of seasons. Rightfully so, given it affects one in twelve men, apparently, and one in two hundred women...

Ordered the third and the retro yellow from the 90s. Really like the home and away but neither in stock and I can grab them when I visit after Christmas hopefully.

I had the 3rd kit arrive yesterday. It's much tighter than I was expecting....

I remember a time in my youth, when Norwich went an entire season without wearing their away kit, as they didn’t play anyone else that wore yellow that year and their fans who bought it were up in arms.

Crazy that there are so many kits out of stock at the online shop. Don’t they want my money?

Did we ever wear that green kit in the 90s? Once at most...

I don’t recall it ever being used…and I can’t find any photographic evidence of it in a match…

I remember something about the players saying they couldn't see each other on the pitch. I also have a hazy memory of there being a televised game where they wore it...

I have a reflection that we wore it just before once in preseason, for some reason It's attached to Ipswich
Or did we wear it in a League Cup game in 91 season, Bolton away?

League Cup, that sounds right. I think that was the only time it was worn competitively.

Can't confirm the team but I think you're correct. I seem to remember it was only ever worn for a preseason game.
Everton has exactly the same design kit that season too

Club shop were apparently saying that the sponsor should be announced this week so I wonder if we'll see something today

of course, there is a global supply issue of football shirts (amongst other things) which has been reported in the media, due mainly to certain places still persisting Canute-style with a zero-covid approach which is causing factories etc to close for periods of time, reducing their productivity.
As we don't have a sponsor yet, I wouldn't really be expecting the club to push this either until they can get a batch in with sponsors already attached, for those who want it of course (I still think this should be optional, but won't be ordering until they have them so I don't need to drop in with shirts afterwards).

They're also probably proritising the vast amount of returns that they've had...
