Portsmouth faithful all saying the same thing following new kit launch

With it now three-and-a-half weeks since the last new face arrived at PO4, the tweet from the club’s official account saw levels of anticipation go through the roof.

‘See you in 15 minutes, #Pompey fans,’ stated the post, accompanied with a mysterious 14-second clip of an unidentified figure to atmospheric music.

Cue frenzy among the online Fratton faithful, with responses ranging from the Fabrizio Romano-inspired ‘here we go’ to ‘finally’ and ‘about time, eh lads’.

Inevitably, there were Alex Robertson and Jacob Farrell references aplenty, in the wake of the wait for Farrell to arrive and latest chat about Cardiff City’s interest in Robertson.

So when the focus of the announcement emerged as the release of Pompey’s new away kit for the 2024-25 season, the reaction was always going to be a strong one.

While there was those who saw the announcement for what it was, there was a vast amount of Blues followers who called it very wrong.

The black away shirt with turquoise hoop was broadly received well, ahead of landing online and in-store from 9am today.

Unfortunately, there were many who thought the model for the kit was going to be Pompey’s sixth new face of the summer.

Here’s a section of the responses to the kit announcement
