We are delighted to announce our 2026/27 home and away kits.

Thank you to @SuffolkFA for their help in delivering our launch. 💙

Us And Our People. 💙

The club has worked with Suffolk FA to offer all 115 registered grassroots youth football clubs in the county a grant to cover the cost of a full kit for one of their teams for the 2026/27 season. At the time of launch, more than 70 have accepted this offer with the process still open and more expected to follow. 👕

This represents a significant commitment from the club in support of the rich grassroots football scene in the county, and embodies the meaning behind the ‘Us And Our People’ mantra, which has become important to the club and signifies the connection between the players on the pitch and the community of Ipswich and Suffolk. 🏡
