Would prefer Blue Shirt, White Shorts and Blue socks to either of the choices.

White has to be pure, virginal white (with blue trim, natch), none of this 'jazzing it up' nonsense.
Don't let the old man in.

White shirt, blue shorts, white socks reminiscent of our Div 4 promotion year 1967
Blue shirt, blue shorts, white socks reminiscent of our best (IMO) football league team under Colin Appleton in Div 3 1968

Love them both!

Blue / Blue / White for me,
Joma kit 21/22 has been my favourite in recent years. Not liked any of the puma offerings in the last couple seasons (bright blue?), however think they’ve come up with a couple of great looking shirts for next seasons.

We’ll look the part at least!

Here’s a link to shirts going back to 1990:

Its White, blue, blue for me.

The issue for me is the endless line of blue colours, from Citeh to Dundee, from Sky Blue to French Navy.

That is a bold statement Russell. Very bold. I don't think I have ever seen us line up in such a kit, but now that you have suggested it - I think it would look ace. Evertonesque in fact.

However, to go back to the poll and include your suggestion would mean a full reset of said poll so I am going to do a poll about the poll - I think this is the only way out of this in all fairness to you if I can find a way how.

Couldn't agree more Jim!

Great minds think alike...

Surely you remember watching us in blue shirts, white shorts through much of the last century when the main topic of discussion in the pubs and clubs was what colour and design will the new season's socks be?

And don't give me that I'm too young nonsense; you don't fool me.
