Ipswich Town revealed their new home and away kits for next season earlier today - here's what fans are saying about them...

The Blues will wear Umbro kits next season, with the home shirt boasting a bespoke graphic based on the Cobbold Stand, while the red and black away shirt features contrasting pinstripe styles.

Both have nods to iconic Umbro shirts from Town's past, with a modern, fresh feel.

Here's what fans are saying about the new kits on social media...

Very smart. Best I’ve seen in a long long time. Take my money now #itfc

Great to see shirts that are not just templates and are original for Town. Love the look of both #itfc

Absolutely delighted with both shirts but as a passionate campaigner for the return of the red and black striped version I am especially pleased with that one. A superb effort from Town and Umbro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Modern with a splash of retro but most importantly it’s unique to Ipswich Town!

Probably my favourites for years and years

OK l guess. Bit fussy for my liking though. But lm old school so fair enough. Very happy that we’ve sort of retained the deep Royal Blue. I hated those insipid TXU Energy shirts.

Perfect mixture of retro and present! Both kits are beautiful, id be lying if I said I wasn’t gonna purchase both

Not a fan of the home. It's a degradation to the Adidas kits. Away looks good. #itfc

Really like both of them. The away shirt though is a real thing of beauty.

Outstanding. High praise to @UmbroUK for a prefect blend of retro & contemporary on both kits.

Absolutely knocked it out the park with both home and away kits. So refreshing to see something bespoke and unique created which mixes both our rich history and something modern at the same time.

The home shirt looks good - away one - me being fussy - don’t like the sleeves ( looks like a Bournemouth top)

That home bespoke kit is something else 🔥
— James (@janthonydean) June 16, 2022

Both outstanding shirts and lots of detail in them. Hats off to Umbro and the Ipswich team involved

Away kit - Awesome
Home kit - Awful
— Verso (@JamieVersey) June 16, 2022

Two words, WOW
— Jamie Hirons (@JamieHirons96) June 16, 2022

A lot of fuss about nothing special
— David King 🤘 (@d6sixx6) June 16, 2022

Love them, best shirt we have in ages
— Chris Cordy-Allen (@Cordy011) June 16, 2022

Love the home shirt and the pattern action makes it a memorable edition. The away kit may be bespoke by nature but the design feels like a template, that doesn't make it a bad shirt, just not one that feels as special.
— Adam Wade (@theadamwade) June 16, 2022

Such genuine joy. Literally shaking with excitement! 🥲

Beautiful. Will look even better covered in Champagne and confetti at the end of the season.
— Benjamin Dack (@BacktoDack) June 16, 2022

Brings back so many memories of watching dozzell, kiwomya, Milton et al just need the Craig Forrest top in short sleeve for us fans in Australia.
— Nathan Hall (@NathanHall83) June 16, 2022

@mark__heath well they have to be the best two kits in a long time, certainly give last seasons a run for its money, this will be a big seller I think.
— James Whittingham (@jamesw1987) June 16, 2022

Away shirt good, sleeves maybe a bit weird?
Home shirt terrible

There’s only one word for that, magic kits
— Ben Chaplin (@Sir_Chappers) June 16, 2022

Not keen on the away unfortunately, think it should be simpler, the stripe detailing is a bit fussy and the sleeve cuffs are awful.
The home is nice enough and good to see them get the correct shade of blue.

Love them, best shirt we have in ages
— Chris Cordy-Allen (@Cordy011) June 16, 2022

Bang average home kit, not for me but the away kit is immense!
Need to get this 👍

The 91-92 promotion season was my first as an #itfc fan so I’m a big fan of the nod to the home strip from then. The Red and Black stripe away shirt is also very nice, would have just loved the stripes to continue on the shoulders.
