Didn’t vote for it but will definitely buy the 3rd kit. Tempted to also buy all the away kits just so I don’t ever have to see them again.
Will get the away kit. Was my second choice after kit A which seems to have been second in the vote but is still very good. Hope we actually use it for some away games as I don't like the away kit, although perhaps it looks better than the photo's when you get hold of one
first impression is I like them all - the retro kit was my choice. I owned and wore the original more than many other during that era. The home shirt is slightly different with black being predominant and the jagged lines. We've had much worse in recent years that's for sure.
Home shirt - again similar to previous years with the width of the stripes but at least it’s changed with the sleeves, but this makes black far too prominent. The kit then becomes too dark especially with black shorts. Would be much better with white shorts but like we have gone with the option to try black socks at home.
Third kit - by far the best, a decent collar too. That bit about the EFL saying it’s too close in colour to be the away kit: so have they said the same to Southend who have two shades of blue as home and away kits and will need a third kit. Will the EFL tell them they can’t call a shirt an “away kit” too?
Away kit - why? It’s a colour that may not be able to used against blue by some refs as well!
Also, are the socks set in stone as they’re black for every kit!
Probably buy the green 'retro' one. As I've always liked the green and black stripes but we had one not that long ago think it was a special release so was hoping for something different.
Home kit is pretty standard. (EDIT) Just realised the home kit is missing any white which is a shame.
Home - Really like it. Additional bit of detail with the design leaking onto the collar and like how its not a solid stripe at the top. The thing you could pick at is the black sleeves, not blue, but thats not a huge deal. It looks good.
Away - Jury is out. It's certainly a colour that we've not had before and tried to do something different with the badge. I think this one will be a grower. It'll look good in the summer.
Retro - A thing of beauty. I voted for the Yellow with Blue pinstripe but this was a close second. The implementation of it is excellent. Hats off to Errea on this one.
In summary...the club, and Errea, have done really well with the kits this season. I'm happy with those kits as a whole. The proof is in the pudding, will I buy them?...yes, I'll get all three.

The description on the o/s says the away socks are mint green, so maybe they haven't arrived.
And to be pedantic, the 1995-97 away kit had green socks, as seen here:
Otherwise, I like them all, although I think I'll stick to buying the darker coloured ones.
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

On the online shop, one image shows the home kit with blue shorts & socks, another with black shorts and blue socks, but the story says black shorts and black socks.
EDIT: The online shop is advertising the home socks as blue.
Sounds like a job for Detective 442Dale!

Not bought a new kit for quite a while but would've bought the third one had I not got the original 95-97 one from Classic Football Shirts a few weeks ago.
All three kits are great though, fair play to Errea this time.

I like all three, especially the third. Good job, the club and Errea.
The sponsor on the away and 3rd kits show that they’re willing to have their logo colour changed. I appreciate they wouldn’t want it changed for the shirt that’s on display the most, but I do think it would look better in white on the home kit.
And the season before that their away kit was green and white quarters. Maybe the EFL weren’t as particular about kits back then. #stayalertcontrolthevirusmakeityour3rdkit

Would that work if Plymouth played in Blue - maybe they gave them some leeway as they are the only club who play in green. Bet Dale couldn't a first kit of blue and black stripes and a 2nd of blue and white quarters

Southend have got two blue kits this season, so anything's possible.
