Have to agree with Big Al although the club's official colours are Chocolate and Amber the chocolate has slowly disappeared from the shirt. Now reduced to thin edging a far cry from the days of quarters or/brown shorts.
The history of Sutton's shirt colours and changes is interesting.

When I first watched Sutton in the 60s it was an amber shirt and white shorts. I don’t recall much chocolate. |

Through the 60s the chocolate on the kit was mainly confined to the shirt number on the back.
In the early part of the decade there was a chocolate trim around the neck which was a v, no actual collar.
Later the badge was dropped for just Sutton United in what we might call lower case at a diagonal in chocolate.

I remember the diagonal SUFC on the shirt. Didn't Leeds copy it?

At least when we abandoned the chocolate in years gone by we stuck to the Amber. Now we have got rid of both in favour of a bit of over priced bri-nylon yellow resembling a bowl of poorly mixed milky custard.
One of the few benefits of the commercialisation of football is that we’ll be rid off this in at most two seasons, more likely one, and get another chance to returning to something more in keeping with the tradition a of the club

You won't notice the detail from a distance. |

The good news is no one is forced to buy one.

Err Are we not supposed to play in Amber and Chocolate? Next to none of the latter here unless the shorts are after all that colour. Nothing touches the centenary kit in my opinion… Moreover, the shirt isn't really amber but a mixture of amber and cream. Hopefully, it'll look better in the flesh as MarkF suggests. I have just zoomed in, and unless I am going color blind, I see no cream there. There are just different shades of amber and yellow, and the pattern appears to be like feathers. |

So is that it for the kit now then? Don’t mind it except for the self coloured badge which is a real disappointment and most peoples biggest issue with it. Wondered if that can be changed retrospectively from this point??

I saw a West Brom supporter walking down my local high street the other day. How did I know? Because I didn't need to steal the man's personal space in order to identify the badge.

Later the badge was dropped for just Sutton United in what we might call lower case at a diagonal in chocolate. A photo posted by Lucy in her post ' Sutton United women 70's style' clearly shows the shirt Mark is talking about. It also clearly highlights the fact that we haven't played in proper Amber for many, many years. |

Wondered if that can be changed retrospectively from this point?? I hear you can pre order, so perhaps it is. The issue many have is not with the top as such but just the badge, so perhaps it would be easy to change them badge with one that inverts the colours on the badge so it is brown with thin yellow detail, rather than the yellow with this brown detail. Similar happend with the previous kit, the dark patterned areas were a really dark almost black color, and people did not like it, and when released it was a more light brown.. Close up it looks ok anyway its at a distance the badge does not stand out... It bothers me a little, but still think its a decent top, |

I'd choose your 1932-33 strip.
