Portsmouth launched the new 08/09 blue kit, with gold trim, which will be worn for one season only to mark the club’s 110th anniversary in the club shop.
Blues chief operating officer Bruce Vandenberg said:
“The all-blue strip will commemorate the 110th anniversary of Portsmouth Football Club.
“When the club reached 100 years, difficult financial circumstances meant it was not possible to mark such a historic date significantly.
“But the huge advances the club has made in the last two-and-half years mean we can now do that for our 110th year.
“The all-blue strip already has fantastic connotations. We won our FA Cup semi-final against West Brom – played on the exact 110th anniversary of the club – wearing all blue.
“And then, back at Wembley, we won the FA Cup final against Cardiff wearing all blue.
“The club understands the importance of colours to fans. That’s why we consulted with supporter groups before the decision to wear all blue for one season was made.
“For the 2009/10 season, we will go back to our traditional home colours of blue shirts, white shorts and red socks.”
The new all-blue strip is now available in the FSC shop
blame the premier league for the mismatch on the shirt and the name and number. The number/font colours are standardized by the league, not by the club.
great kit the new crest looks great too and from what ive seen its a big improvement on the old school crest style with pirate script type. Its obvious portsmouth are going in the right direction on and off the pitch. I found out it was done by the company below:
some changes from the leaked photos really improve the design. I've got mine ordered already haha! They should loose the big stripe and bring back the white shorts/red socks. But I still really like it. FAR better than the away.
not terrible, pretty nice but what's the big deal about 110 years? in any case, it's not a bad looking kit - last season's home and away were much nicer IMO.
The big deal with 110 years is that the club couldn't afford to do anything special to celebrate its centenary year back in 1998. Those were the days before Milan Mandaric came and saved the club from financial ruin.
If they really want to embrace history this season, I think they should really go back to their roots by bringing out a salmon pink third kit!
I like the navy/blue gold combination it does look good. And yes the adjustment made from the leaked photos do look batter and the stripe on the back at the bottem will look good because assuming polayers tuck the shirts in there will only be a glimmer of the stripe anyway so it will not look like a brick just a thick line. The only annoying detail i do not like is the 3 red cirles/dots on the shorts.
