Will we ? Have they announced it’s gonna be worn at the Newport away friendly next Tuesday ?
I thought they would unveil it at the home friendly against Charlton.

If 'Mr. Vegas' ends up in lime green it will be a let down. Let's hope they do it in white..
Agree, but it will be white which is a bonus.
Those pics are definitely AI mock ups, zoom in on the badges !
Also heard on the Tilehurst end podcast (which is hosted by a pair of clueless clowns) that the leaked shirt they’ve seen has collars, the hoops have a black border and Mr Vegas in green on a blue hoop ??
Have to disagree with you there, i've met them both and they're nice fellas. In regards to the kit you're talking about that was the first AI 'leak' that went round, i highly doubt it's that one.

People mentioning the use of AI and implying it takes away from the overall plausibility. The club are already using AI on their live product photos, zoom into the badge on this one:

and it has been live on their website to purchase for around a week now:

Why they would bother doing this, I don’t know. They look like professional shots they’ve then edited after the fact?

Home kit isn’t bad, but in needs a collar otherwise we’ll never get promoted.

Yeah fair enough if they’re already making AI slop for the website. Grim times.
