The new kits for Portsmouth aren’t officially out yet but a leaked version of the 08/09 Pompey away kit has been doing the rounds, featuring a retro collar, the new Portsmouth crest and an odd blue and white contrast.
Here’s the shirt:

Portsmouth FC have overhauled and modernised their club crest into a 3-D version which is more similar to Portsmouth City’s coat of arms and was first used in the match programme for Portsmouth’s last match of the 07/08 season.

With a subpar performance on the home kit, and a decent performance with the away kit, I was anxious to see what Canterbury and Portsmouth could design for the third kit. Personally I think the third kit was the best, by far. The simple all black kit with gold accent around the collar and sides makes for a great kit. Even the circles on the sleeves match the gold on the badge, which adds another nice touch.
This is the best kit that the rugby kit manufacturer has put out to date. I fully expect many great kits in the future, but for this season they are 1 for 3. All in all I think that Canterbury of New Zealand will have a long and prosperous life in the football arena and luckily for Portsmouth, they will reap the benefits.

With the 2007-08 away kit, I think Canterbury and Portsmouth management had a better idea. Going with a white away kit is always a good idea, however this particular kit is the better of the two. This kit provides a white base to start with then adds several blue and gold accent pieces throughout the kit itself. The blue and gold are obviously taken from the traditional badge of Portsmouth and add a great touch to this kit. Do not forget the badge on the left chest and the sponsor logo in the center, which is where it should always be.
The only issues I have with this kit is that it borderlines being too busy and the circles are back again. This time the circles were grey and not as much of an eye sore as the home kits are. I think if there were another color mixed into the kit it would have been too much, but aside from that I think it was a great looking kit.

Canterbury of New Zealand has long been known for their great kits for Rugby, however they do make some great kits for football as well. Being the kit sponsor for an English Premier League team is no easy task, you must come ready to bring the best kits out on one of the best leagues in the world. Canterbury has done just that with the 2007-08 home kit for Portsmouth. Taking the same blue that is in the Portsmouth Badge and making it the primary color for this kit, adding gold accent pieces that match the trim in the badge, providing the sponsor logo in the traditional center role and the Canterbury logo on the right chest makes this a kit worth looking at.
The only part of this particular kit that I do not like is the random light blue circles on the sleeves. They do not seem to have a purpose, they are not in the color scheme of the badge at all and are no where else to be found. Maybe it is just a design of the kit, but they could have been left off. Not a bad kit aside from that.
