2001?

This red shirt was produced for the club (in 2001 we believe) as a second spare kit in case Town had a clash of away kits although it was never used. Since this design there have been three further 'one off' kits produced - an all-black kit used at Blackburn in 2002 and two white kits for the games at Crystal Palace in 2003 and 2004.

On an historical note we don't believe that Town have ever played in solid red before, but in a league game against Brighton on the South Coast in October 1938, they did play in red and white hoops! In the programme notes published for the next home game, the author writes: "Our boys looked rather strange in their borrowed plumes. We took two changes with us, the white shirts with the blue sleeves and the new narrow black and white bands, but neither were acceptable to the referee because Brighton are blue and white stripes. So we played in red and white hoops, a set of jerseys given to the Albion by Arsenal".

2005/06

New home strip for 2005 through 2007.

With no second change strip to hand for the game at Sheffield Wednesday (December 2005), Town were forced to combine shirt and shorts from their home and away strips to produce the awful combination pictured to right (the black shorts normally worn with the orange away shirt clashing with those of the Owls). Nasty!

2007/08

The Punch brand comes to an end as Town and Mitre agree a four-year partnership that will see the British sports brand supply the Club with home and away kits, training and bench wear until May 2011. Fan's are given the chance to select the design of the first kit from a choice of three modeled (top picture) by Billy Clarke (left), Gavin Williams (centre) and Sammy Moore (right).
