Today Leicester launched their away kit for next season and again a new colour as a light blue colour was in place. With dark blue shorts, this could look great, but with a shorts in the same colours a bit odd, but again this looks a bit like a t-shirt and might not go down as a favorite among fans.
Adidas has not put much creativity into this one as it just a change of colours and not part of the clubs identity which is a based on blue and white and would like that third kit, yet to be launched, to be in all black with a blue ribbon, as it tells a story of the club.
We have seen the grey with yellow, the pink and last season maroon that in a way became a bit iconic as the team won the FA Cup in that shirt, if that will go down as a pick for the future who knows, but maroon has never been a colour connected to Leicester, not before last season.

Exciting to see the third kit for next season, if the maroon is kept as a type of tradition or moving on to a new colour, some suggested mint green, as this was a mint blue, we just have to wait for the next mint to appear, or something totally different.
