Supporters have their say on Chesterfield's 2026/27 home and away kits
Supporters have been giving their opinions on Chesterfield’s new home and away strips for 2026/27.
Hundreds flocked to the SMH Group Stadium to see the strips unveiled last week.
Again supplied by Puma, both feature “160” lettering on the back in recognition of the club’s 160th anniversary.
The badge and lettering of the traditional blue home shirt is in gold, underlining the special year, while the mainly white round neck of the current strip has been replaced by a predominantly blue one.
The away strip is black with silver detailing and a two-tone vertical band on the shirt and a different badge. Both are again sponsored by Leengate Valves.
On social media, Dave Radford praised the “touch of class on both shirts" while Jaymz Bell said. “Really like them both, but I really like the home one. Love the arms and collar.”
Jackie Gladwin added “I prefer the Away Shirt, so we have ordered one each. Some great details on each. Looking forward to seeing the 3rd kit!”
Her thoughts were echoed by Ashley Holmes: “They both look brilliant, love the reference to 160 years.”
Not everyone was quite as satisfied.
Glen Tyson said: “I will buy away shirt. The home shirt looks too much like last year’s so I will stick with that.”
Another fan, Steven Gore: stated: “I don't like the away one. I would much prefer white for the away one to go back to basics.”
Mark Allen noted that the “away kit looks like (Notts) county”.
Adam Laycock described the designs as “nice” but wasn’t too keen on the “random button at the top of the collar on the home kit”.
How the Spireites will turn out home and away next season still has the approval of plenty.
Neil Watkinson, Angela Carline, Stephen-Reed Aspley and Mark Paul Kelly were among many who gave both strips their approval.
“Ordered both,” said June Steele.
"Both will sell very well,” predicted Lucio Cancellara.
