Ipswich Town fans are being given one final chance to snap up the Tractor Boys' eye catching all black third kit.

Around 1,600 shirts were made available on the club website at around midday today, leading to queues on the ITFC online store.

The eye-catching 'blackout' design was designed by kit supplier Umbro in collaboration with the Tractor Boys' most famous fan Ed Sheeran.

Since it was released last year it has become one of the fastest selling shirts in ITFC history.

Speaking to the ITFC website last October, Club Head of Retail Paul Macro said: "We have seen unprecendented interest and sales for our third shirt this season.

"Our 2022/23 home and away shirts have been hugely popular, but the blackout shirt has been the most sought-after one yet."
