Not wanting to state the obvious but I do believe we have a pretty natty looking kit that we played in last year.
Pretty sure you know what that looks like WQ. I would imagine that the club didn't throw all last year's playing kits away at the end of the season.
As for the season we played our first game in the kit from the year before! So what? Did it effect the result? Did it effect the season? And when we did get the new kit did it effect how many of us bought the replicas? I doubt it very much.
