Stanley are sporting a new look, wearing striped shirts for the first time. Although the combination looks very smart, it remains to be seen if it will go down well with tradition-minded supporters. Of course, if they win promotion, it will be a different story. The change kit is unchanged and a white third strip will be introduced in the New Year. The first replicas sold had last season's sponsorship but Storefirst.com then pulled out and a new sponsor was found. Supporters can exchange shirts bought before the change for the latest version in the club shop.

Barnet are back after an absence of three seasons after winning the Conference title. They have followed the retro trend by reintroducing hooped tops, worn between 1928 and 1958 as well as using violet, the colours of the original Barnet FC, in their change strip.

Rovers bounced straight back after one season in the Conference, a rare accomplishment these days. It is great to see white shorts worn with the traditional quartered first shirts once again. The change shirt has a very unusual arrangement of horizontal bands which fade towards the centre.

Puma's latest gimmick adorns the otherwise perfectly satisfactory Pitch design. I don't expect these graded bands will be seen again after the end of the season. As last season, United have a light blue strip in the hamper, now updated to the new Puma design.

Carlisle generally wear striking first kits and this season is no exception. The familiar red/white secondary colours now appear as a vertical stripe on the left side of the shirt. Prior to their match at Wycombe in October, the match referee would not approve either of Carlisle's strips because of a clash with those of the home team so a set of red training tops were hastily prepared with logos, numbers and names. Carlisle thus avoided the fine they would otherwise have picked up if they had borrowed a set of shirts from Wycombe Wanderers.

Black has never featured prominently in Crawley's pallette and I doubt that traditionally-minded supporters, already disappointed with the team's relegation last term, are going to take to the new look. White shirts were needed at Morecambe.

The Daggers have worn some striking strips in recent years and the new first kit pushes the envelope even further. The arrangement of the strips on the shirt is unique. The first kit is adorned with the club's newly designed crest. The gaudy change strip is retained.

The new third strip is in the colours of Fluminense, who played a pre-season match with City in July to mark 101 years since the Grecians toured Argentina and Brazil in 1914. The other strips are unchanged aside from new socks for the first kit.

'Pools wore their new fluorescent outfit in their final match of 2014-15 with the words, "The Great Escape" embroidered below the crest to celebrate their seemingly impossible achievement of avoiding relegation to the National League (formerly the Conference).
The new first strip
is Nike's smart Sash template and is reminiscent of the outfits worn by members of the Tracy family in the 1960s ATV series, Thunderbirds. As usual, a different first strip was worn in the FA Cup.

The O's were relegated last season. They are keeping the same colour scheme as last season for their three strips but these have been updated to new Nike templates. The first and third outfits are Laser II and the blue second strip is Nike's new sash design.

Mansfield's traditional amber shirts are enhanced with a vertical blue stripe this season. The alternative is based on the same design but in black and silver. The third kit (which has no sponsorship) is inspired by the original outfit worn in 1897: a similar top appeared during Mansfield's centenary in 1997.

Twenty years ago Morecambe were promoted to the Conference, and to mark this anniversary red and black stripes are revived. White shorts are available for away games when shorts clash. The alternative strips feature colour-keyed crests.

The Cobblers have reverted to a traditional look with their first choice kit. The breast cancer charity, CoppaFeel, will receive 10% of the proceeds from replica sales of the change shirt. The yellow and black third choice was last season's change strip and is sometimes worn with white shorts.

The first strip is more conventional than Carbrini's last two editions and rather more in tune with County's tradition. The third strip is an extravagant tartan job, a throwback to the 1990s.

We have even more retro inspired goodness from Oxford United. 2016 is the 30th aniversary of their win in the Milk Cup and the first strip for this season is a close replica of the one worn in 1985-86 while the alternative is based on the change kit worn ten years later when the team won promotion to the Third Division.

Argyle are again wearing stripes but black has been reintroduced to the mix, a combination first seen in January 1975 and revived many times since then. The change strip is mauve (or "royal lilac"), not a shade that has featured large in Argyle's history, nor anyone else's for that matter.

Chosen by supporters, the new Pompey "home" kit has the comforting familiarity of a warm blanket. The alternative was also chosen by fans. A third shirt will be needed at Hartlepool and this was also chosen by supporters from a short list.

Wimbledon keep their kits for two seasons so it is the turn of the third strip to be replaced and we have a very striking set in two shades of green. This is a reminder that the original Wimbledon Old Centrals played in green at the end of the 19th century.

Back in the basement after two succesive relegations, Yeovil are sticking with their usual green and white hoops which now feature an unusual arrangement, the white bands being wider than the green. Jones Building group sponsored Yeovil's shirts between 2009 and 2012. Last season's Celtic rip-off shirt reappears in yellow and green as the alternative.

Navy makes a welcome return to York's strip on the new Nike Sash template. The Challenge change kit is black with yellow volt trim and white applications. Yellow shirts and socks in the same template were required at Crawley Town.
