You just have a problem with pale colours!
That shirt would look great with sky blue shorts (and thick white stripe down sides) and socks.

Something as close to this as possible, please.
Looks like a real blue shirt that has either lain in the sun too long or been washed too many times.
And I like real shirt collars.
And the crest should not be on a white square.
It would be better with white stripes at the end of the sleeves (ok, I see it has them now, I was confused by the white background).
Apart from that, it's ok.

Whichever shirt you choose, the sponsors logo ruins it. I don't go for diagonal stripes, they have to be vertical or horizontal (hoops). In fact the design has to be symmetrical.
I would favour a single wide blue stripe (like the Ajax strip but royal blue instead of red, with a thin sky blue stripe on each side of the wide blue stripe and across the shoulders. The shorts would be white with a sky blue stripe down each side. I wish I could produce a mock-up but I don't have the software.
We'd probably have to change our nickname to 'The Royals' and get permission from the Queen.

Only red-haired players (e.g. Ian Wallace) look good in that strip. I don't know why, somehow it just has a Scottish flavour. I do like the 'real' collar.

I think I'm with Oakey and Shmmeee on this one. I like the solid sky blue kits, we are the sky blues after all. If it is stripes it should be with white only, I like the look f the dark and sky blue stripes but it's too dark for us. The dominant colour should be sky blue not dark blue.

I don't buy this argument that just because we are called the 'Sky Blues', we have to play in sky blue. But it was very short-sighted of JH to coin that nickname.

We'd look a bit odd in red.

Why? You wouldn't see Liverpool "the Reds" or Man United "The Red Devils" play in anything other than red, in fact they would never play in red and white stripes like the equivalent of Southampton's kit. Or Birmingham, Everton, Chelsea etc who are also known as "The Blue's" playing in anything other than blue, predominantly solid blue not Sheffield Wednesday-esque stripes.

Sorry. Put that on the wrong thread. Should be here.
I'm asking why Huddersfield now play in a sky blue kit and have done for the past 5 seasons.
Anyone know? Nearly a 100 years of dark blue and white stripes and now they seem to be constantly sky blue and white stripes.

Yep, but if you look at Huddersfield's historical kits it is dark blue and white stripes constantly and consistently from 1914 to ,1997. Pretty much every single season.
Then they play about with sky blue a bit, go back to dark blue, but now the last 5 seasons have been sky blue and white stripes only.
I wonder why.

I think it's good that we can change between plain and stripes.

Exactly Otis. Over the space of 2 or 3 years, we're all happy...what's not to like?! (unless someone's craving a polka dot number...)

As I recall, prior to JH (and I only saw a few games before he came in), CCFC were an utterly boring mid-table side with a stupid nickname (The Bantams), so the supporters were up for any type of change. I don't recall any opposition to the change in nickname or strip. There was some pessimism in the early days that JH might be a 5-minute wonder (my father among them) but eventually he won everyone over.
