What Kit Are Ipswich Town Wearing Today? 2026/27 Kits Graded

Ipswich are straight back up after one season down, and Umbro have marked it with a home shirt about Portman Road itself and an away shirt that goes back to the late nineties.

The Home Shirt: B+

Blue with a tonal embossed graphic across the front, sleeves and back, based on the structure between the floodlights on the Sir Bobby Robson and Sir Alf Ramsey Stands, and inspired by evening matches under those lights. A navy crew-neck collar with white detailing at the rear is matched by navy cuffs finished with a narrow white stripe. Ipswich blue is a plain canvas and Umbro have resisted the urge to complicate it, putting the whole idea into an emboss you cannot see from the stands. Taking the pattern from the specific ironwork between two stands named after two managers is a better piece of thinking than most home shirts get.

Grade: B+

The Away Shirt: A-

A modern reinterpretation of the 1996-98 away shirt: a cream yellow base with black and red horizontal pinstripes, black collar and cuffs with red detailing, and black shorts and socks. Horizontal pinstripes in three colours should be a mess and this is not, because the cream base is warm enough to hold the black and red without the shirt turning into a test pattern. It is the boldest thing Ipswich have worn in years and the period reference earns it.

Grade: A-

The Third Shirt: B-

Light blue with claret detailing on the round collar, sleeve cuffs and shoulder stripes. Light blue and claret is a pleasant combination and there is nothing wrong with the shirt, but it arrives with no stated idea behind it, which stands out badly in a wardrobe where the home shirt is about floodlight ironwork and the away is about 1996. Perfectly good, entirely anonymous.

The Bottom Line

Ipswich have come back up with a wardrobe that knows where it is from. The home shirt hides its idea in an emboss taken from the ironwork between the Robson and Ramsey stands, and the cream yellow away with black and red horizontal pinstripes is the boldest and best thing here. The light blue and claret third is the one shirt with nothing to say, which is a shame in a set this thoughtful.
