    Someone's posted what they believe is the new home shirt on Gloryhorns. I can't post the link as I can't view that site at work.

    That sounds better, and how about an away kit which reverses the black and yellow, so it's mainly black with yellow side panels (or red ones if they don't want too much yellow on the away one.)

    I liked the black away kit we had a couple of seasons back.

    We'd look like a team of traffic wardens

    This is a sneak preview of a full kit history of Watford which I am currently compiling on MS Paint, inspired from Wurzel-Sepp's thread about a month ago about designing the perfect kit...

    Hope you like.

    Me too, I wouldn't mind seeing another purple away strip... provided it was reasonable...

    Yes, but let's say it's a big improvement on that one. I am including away kits, sponsors and better rendering.

    I was in the club shop earlier and overheard the shop assistant saying that they're releasing the away kit and training gear in July and the home shirt in August.

    Mate, you've got a big job ahead of you. Some of the kit changes we've had have been tiny and won't show on a Paint .bmp. I could point out a minimum of 7 home kits missing from the list above, then you have variations in Badges, sponsors and even numbers etc.

    Don't rely on the kit poster you can buy on t'internet/eBay, it is way out. I'll help you a bit and tell you that the red/green/yellow hoops wasn't our first kit, we had dark blue/light blue stripes, red and yellow stripes before that and another one that I can't identify before that...

    Good luck with it, I'd really like to see it when it's done:)

    here are some I made already (sizes may vary, still very much work in progress - these are 'rough drafts') If any of these are wrong, please let me know.

    Pretty damn good pics as it happens! It's a bit of a minefield and you've missed a few home shirts out - sorry to sound picky:

    1968-72 home kit - two variations of this shirt were used.

    1972-76 home kit - we had two kits in this period (see below - I've mashed one of your images (sorry))

    1976-78 home kit

    1978-82 home kit - again, we actually had three different home kits during this period.

    1982-85 home kit - At least 3 variations of this kit, 4 if you include the FA Cup special.

    1985-88 home kit - At least 4 variations of this kit!

    It is also worth noting that between the late '70s and early '90s home kits were released (mostly) every 2 years with the away kit released in the 'inbetween' years - i.e. one kit was launched each year.

    I have actually done that kit but haven't got a URL for it yet.
