Here it is, and as you can see it's black and gold, thereby contrasting distinctly with Pompey's other blue and white kits. It's made by Canterbury, a company from New Zealand that's been making rugby kits for ages and we think they've made a fair attempt with their initial offerings for Portsmouth this year.
OK, so they may not go for the more spectacular line of styling and their shirts might not be universally liked, but as you can see from this one it's smart, subdued and inoffensive. Not only that, but it's also available, so why not head down to the Portsmouth FC online shop and buy yourself one - they're only £39.99! (No? Oh well, at least we tried...)
So do you agree with our thoughts or are we wide of the mark this time? Have you EVER agreed with any of our thoughts?! Probably not, but let's not worry about that now... We'd like you to tell us what you think of the Portsmouth 3rd shirt above, so leave us a comment, choose an option on our online vote below or do both. It's your last chance after all...

And that's about it. We've now featured all twenty Premier League teams, so if there's any you haven't judged for yourself, check out the 'Shirts For 2007/08' links on the right and add your votes. At the end of the year, we'll review the scores and see which shirts were the most popular and which you couldn't give a damn about.
Before we go, a quick heads-up for all you fans of football shirts and strips who might be fearing withdrawal symptoms. Fear not - we're lining up another Kit Legend vote like the England one we did back in February. All we'll say at this stage is if you're Scottish, we think you'll like what we've got to offer... :)

I like it. A solid, color, with a little bit of flair.
It's FAAABULOUS!
It's ok, but what are the three spots on the sleeves?
However I can't let any offering from Canterbury go without decrying them for their bloody awful designs at the Rugby World Cup, especially the Scotland top, which was a complete mess.
It was actually the worst of the tournament which was some going as Nike had also put in some effort in producing terrible kits.
I think the three spots are as near as Canterbury get to a 'motif'.
You're absolutely right about their Scotland shirt for the Rugby World Cup 2007. Because it's got pale blue panels on it (to contrast the traditional dark blue) it was the perfect way to differentiate them from New Zealand... who wore a change strip of pale blue with dark panels. Work this one out...
