New away shirt with tangerine shorts

Did anyone else think that our away shirt with tangerine shorts looked awful. I'd read we were using navy sorts - or is that a little too close to PKE?

It's too close to PKE anyway. It's white and blue!

As if Preston would ever put tangerine on any kit of theirs. I know a lot of fans on here are obsessed with PKE but making a kit with the same colours as theirs is a bit OTT 😂
 
It did look a bit weird because of the lack of tangerine on the shirt and shorts.

At least we knew it was Blackpool playing though.
 
I thought it looked bad with the tangerine shorts, and I don't particularly like the shirt tbh anyway. 70s vinyl wallpaper! My son really likes it though - and that matters more cos he'll buy it and I don't buy replica shirts.

it’s just the old biddys on here get a bit nostalgic for the plain tangerine and white traditional kits.You know the blokes that won’t even buy one anyway.They seem to forget that not all supporters started watching BFC since 1960

Great to see the club taking a risk and making kits that actually justify a purchase. So sad and pathetic people saying because it has blue on it it’s too much like Preston, grow up fgs!

Would Preston put tangerine on a kit, ever? I'll answer for you....no! Why would they?

White and blue is the colour of our biggest rivals. Would Everton wear a red away top? Would United wear a Sky blue away top? Again, I'll answer for you....no.

I don't wear footy tops and haven't since I was about 18 so the design can be whatever and I won't lose sleep over it. I just don't get why the club would want us to have white and blue for an away kit.

I'm off to grow up now, dad!
 
It’s a brilliant kit and those most likely to buy a replica kit it will almost certainly buy it. Those complaining quite frankly weren’t exactly the target market. Any grown man saying it’s PNE colours needs to give themselves a shake - Blackpool have been wearing white and navy for a hell of a long time. It’s only a little Navy too, not exactly a PNE tribute.

Absolutely loathe the new away shirt, nothing to do with it looking like a PNE kit, just think it looks really cheap and tacky.

And before anyone says I probably wouldn't buy one anyway, I got the home shirt at the club shop the first time I visited Blackpool after it was released and think it's probably our best ever home shirt

It's got a few dark blue flashes on it that you don't even notice from a distance in the ground. It's nowhere near a blue and white shirt. The back is completely white, by the way.

Plus the shorts are tangerine.

Nothing remotely like a Preston kit, but harking back to our own away kit from 92/93.
 
Some daft comments on here. Up until recent years, we always had a white away shirt, usually with tangerine shorts. That shirt was used in the 90s. I've got an all-white 1998 Lotto Telewest shirt, has black trim on it, the only tangerine is a small "Seasiders" on the breast. I've never in 25 years every thought of it as looking like a Nobbers shirt.

its the blue trim with tangerine that makes it an odd combo for me.

They wear white shirts and blue or white shorts. We usually wear white away kit and tangerine shorts or white shorts. Stan Matthews and Morty wore those colours. The blue flecks aren’t part of PNE tradition so the only people who would say “it looks like PNE” are PNE WUMs in my opinion.

Not quite the same as PNE suddenly donning tangerine having never worn it before and their main rivals being the only club in the country that do.

Yes my OP referred to the broken blue stripes and that the Tangerine shorts don't seem to compliment it very well. It was almost like last season's shorts - as used v Southport - and the brand new away shirt. I get we've had a white shirt - maybe even a blue/tangerine collar/cuff regularly and is our go-to away shirt but that much blue on it doesn't look right with plain tangerine shorts. Only my opinion and we're all different.

Blue and white is PNE colours, there's blue on the collar and end of the sleeves, regardless of if it looks like a PKE top or not.

Tangerine shorts look weird with it, white would have looked better.

All about opinions. I wouldn't buy one regardless. I just think it's too PKE themed. I'll say it again, PKE would never have tangerine on a top.

Luton play in tangerine/orange.
 
I wish we would have white shirts with tangerine collars, black shorts black socks both with tangerine stripe/hoop. Now that’s 1950s away kit style. Smart and very different to anyone playing in a kit close to our home kit. Never going to happen but much better than this years effort.

To make money from the sale of a new shirt design that pays its producers a pittance and makes the brand and the club a lot of money.

There are literally dozens of teams in red and or blue. In the flesh so to speak, it looks nothing like a PKE kit.

Tangerine is a stand out and more unique colour.

Plus some of them seem to get completely emotional about it. I couldn't give a fuck about the colour white, don't associate it with them, its just too common a colour.

Seen some of them a while back say they wouldn't eat an orange or something like that.

Thats when you know Blackpool fc has deeply penetrated their mind.

😂

That T is red.

Also, Everton wore red before Liverpool ever did and Liverpool have worn Blue and also used to wear the same colours as Man U.

Take off the blue dashes and the Blackpool badge, what is left could pass as a Preston shirt.
