Yes Lincoln Green for me too.
I'm betting actual Lincoln green and the green you're wanting is very different.

Perhaps that's one of the sponsors requirements to represent the cleaning materials in the portable bog flush?
I can second that .I like both kits this year. Unusual for me as I'm a whinging git!
cheers mate!!I can second that .
From the terraces - "Danny Cowley's red and a little bit of white Army!"Like the home kit, a 6/10 at best for me.
I’m also in the ‘lincoln green’ camp, although my favourite away kits were probably the black affairs of 06/07 and 17/18.
Given that for the first time in donkey’s years, we have the same sponsor on the home and away shirts, I do hope that means we wear the red and white (well red and white on half the shirt) for more away games.

As has been mentioned an away strip is a relatively recent thing (rip off) It used to be called a change strip and was only used in the event of a colour clash. Now we have the same sponsor on the shirts I would really love to see a return to us playing predominantly in the red kit for home and away matches unless there is an obvious clash with the opposition. I am pretty sure the rules state we have to have a change kit in case of a clash, but does that extend to having to play in a change strip at away matches. I don't think it does. We should be Danny Cowleys red and white army as often as is possible. Accrington, Doncaster, Fleetwood, Rotherham and Sunderland as far as I can see are the only sides who play in red.
This.
Felt last year's kit was designed to be worn in the maximum number of away games, for the sponsor's benefit.
For me it's nothing to do with Lincoln Green, gren, grene or greene (however it is spelt) that was actually a purplish red based on the local wode, that eventually transformed into something like hunting red/pink. It was only Hollywood through countless Robin Hood films that turned it actually green.
When I grew up watching the Imps the away colour was green, not that it was used that often as the change strip was only ever used when there was a colour clash, which surprisingly was not that often. I'm not sure you can say that Imps had a 'traditional' away strip in sense it can be compared with the home one. But there was a good 30 years perhaps longer where it was green and that qualifies for me - in addition, by and large the club has done well in green.
And colour of away kit frequently driven by how it looks as 'leisure wear' hence popularity of black and grey, looks better with jeans (so I'm told) #moremoneyhaving dedicated away strip also sells more shirts in the club shop #money
