A for home and B for away are more subtle I think, the pattern on the B home spoils it although it is our "proper" blue and white stripes.

The official website also has the back of the shirt designs.

A for home and B for away are more subtle I think, the pattern on the B home spoils it although it is our "proper" blue and white stripes. Agree with all that. I think A home looks a lot better/smarter in terms of how the sponsors are integrated onto the shirt colour-wise as well. Having said that, I wouldn't be annoyed if the opposite kits are chosen, they still look good and great to see lots of effort put in to a bespoke design. I know it's always a financial risk ordering in bulk and being left with loads of spare stock come end of the season, but I hope the club place a decent order of shirts because these really should fly off the shelves. Whilst I understand that people may complain about yellow on the away kits again, ultimately it's our third colour and is literally on the club crest alongside blue and white. We should be proud of that.

Went for B for the home kit and A for the away, but would be happy with any of them. Great to have a shirt that really looks like our own.

Cracking tops, well done to all concerned. Lovely detail on them, even 'Seals' on the socks! Ha ha, might have to get some.
Gone for A for home - very smart and we haven't had the pinstripes for a while. B for away. I do like the black as part of the top.
Let's hope the shirts and shorts are the same colour yellow, unlike the ones we have had recently.

Can we not use stripes on the back of kits?

All designs look class to be fair. Only negative for me is that the badges don’t look like they are stitched on but then again could just be for the purposes of the photos All of the kits on their website have either woven or applied badges, so I can only assume these will be too. hopeandglorysportswear.co.uk/gallery

Home A - looks smart and I like the thin stripes. The MBNA logo works better on this option imo. Away B - again smart and the black sleeves tipped it for me.
If the vote goes the other way (which I think it will) then those shirts are great too - especially on show on the National League 😉

I think they are all great and am torn between the traditional home B and the nice looking home A. Tbh would have liked a non yellow and black away option but again if that’s the colours it has to be, both options are good.

Great kits, quite torn on the home shirts tbh. Option A is very striking and was my initial pick, but then thought it may look a bit too Chesterfieldy... but it's a very smart kit, think option B is more traditional but very similar to some of our more recent kits. Option 4 is a bit too Newport Countyish for me... So option A&C wins it
Also think it's been a great incentive to get people signed up to the CFU, hope plenty have!

A and A for me. As mentioned already, the sponsor on home A is incorporated better and looks really nice. If home B had blue sleeves and the sponsor wasnt on a big white hoop, I'd go for that.
Really like all of them though. So great to have bespoke kits - not sure we ever have in my lifetime

E.g Kings Lynn home was basically the exact same template as our away

I went for Home option A and away option B. I think the badge stands out more with a white background on the away kit and I like the narrow stripes on the home kit.

Option A is basically a plain blue shirt with white facings. The pinstripes will disappear on the pitch. Our identity is bound up with stripes and so I'll go for option B. Should be stripes on the back as well though. Plain blue next to plain black isn't a happy combination and needs a bit of white to lift it.

Anyone know when the winning kits will be on sale? If we make the playoffs and they aren't already available to buy then we'll be missing a massive opportunity. We need to capitalise on the feel good factor now, not start selling them in the summer!

Last year I hated the quality of the home kit and the fact the badge was printed on ( I did say that at the time ) after seeing my sons I never purchased one. This year I love them all so I will be getting one, for me I like B and B and I won't be disappointed with any of them. Just to make it clear though I'm not a total ass and I do purchase other things from the shop, It would be good if we can designs on the hoodies ect and pre order them.

Last day of voting today. Just gone A and A. Think B away looks more like a Wolves kit.

From CFC OWS - 'Chester Football Club are delighted to announce Hope + Glory as our new Technical Kit Partner, having signed an initial three-year deal with the Blues! Starting our partnership for the 2023/24 campaign, the Oldham-based company were selected following an in-depth procurement process. City Fans United members will be contacted soon to be a part of the voting process for our new kits. Make sure you have your say, become a CFU member today – it’s just £12 a year! Visit cityfansunited.com to sign up. Hope + Glory are a specialist sportswear company designing and manufacturing bespoke football kits and training wear. They work with professional league clubs, as well as semi-pro, amateur and grass roots clubs to create high quality bespoke teamwear. Unlike many other bespoke teamwear brands, every step of the production process takes place under one roof – this cuts manufacturing lead times – and means they have the capability to manufacture high quality bespoke kits significantly quicker than their competitors. CFU Chair Kieron Shiel commented on the news: “Myself and Georgina have been through a very rigorous and detailed procurement process to come to this decision with the Board and I know it’s one that’s right for the Club, the Fans and the Environment. I’m delighted to welcome Hope + Glory to the Chester FC family and also to be part of theirs.” This news means our three-year partnership with Kappa comes to an end at the end of this season’s campaign. We would like to place on record our thanks to them for their support over these past three seasons. As part of today’s announcement, we are also proud to be working alongside Hope + Glory to produce an ‘EcoKit’ that will be worn by First Team, Academy and Women’s Teams, as well as available for supporters to purchase, as we play our part in helping to protect the planet. These kits are a part of a commitment to a sustainable future, making football kits using rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) with a lower environmental impact. Both the shirt and shorts are made from rPET fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles that have been melted down to produce a fine yarn. Sarah Dennis, Hope + Glory Director, said: “Chester FC are the perfect fit for Hope + Glory due to their ambitions and relentless desire to succeed, on the pitch and with their partners. We are beyond excited to be partnering with the club. As well as new bespoke home and away kits we will be working alongside the club to develop a wider and more diverse merchandise range for the fans. We can’t wait to get started with them and challenge each other to raise the bar in everything we will do together.” Everyone at Chester FC is delighted to have Hope + Glory on board and we look forward to a long and successful partnership!' Season ticket holder, Cfu member, Boost the budget Contributor, Sent an E’mail as requested if hadn’t Received original E’mail, Nothing back!!! Very Disappointing.
