Very nice for a third kit! Hummel have produced a lot of decent shirts this season. As a bit of a football shirt geek, I've noticed that a lot of Hummel's new kits have the 'retro' hummel logo, whereas this one has the same hummel wording we had last season, I'd be interested to know why the difference between some shirts/teams and others.

Likely that it's a catalogue strip which is probably why. Would expect the home and away to have the new logo.
So our away kit won't be blue, we had white last season, yellow was the third kit so unlikely but possible, which leaves black or a sexy green/purple number.
We also wore the third kit against Bristol Rovers iirc when it wasn’t needed. One of a minor annoyances of mine when it comes to kit clashes (or not in this case).
As for this kit, it’s a bit of a weird colour! But it’s fine as an alternative to the home and away. No issues with it being a template either when the home and away will be bespoke.
What’s the point of a third kit? There should be no need.
Just a simplistic attempt to raise revenue. Kit clashes are decided by referees, which is bad enough given the standards of their eyesight and grasp of reality, but they themselves are also compelled to prance about in an ever more infantile wardrobe of multicoloured pyjamas, ensuring maximum 'coincidence' of kit colour incompatibilities. A cynic might even imagine that the EFL is in the pay of kit manufacturers...
I'm sure as I can be there'll be no ownership change this season - that 3rd shirt is the first CAFC kit I'd have considered wearing in about a decade (excepting the current protest shirt, natch) but obv I can't entertain buying one cos NOT A PENNY TIL HE'S GONE FOR GOOD

Although, as most have pointed out, there are clear reasons for a third kit if the first two clash with another team’s home kit, clubs do seem to make three kits when it’s just not necessary. It’s only really teams in red, white or blue that could need a third kit (and that’s only if they choose red, white or blue as their change strip) due to other teams wearing red/white, blue/white, red or claret/blue combination kits (Sheffield Wed, Sheffield Utd, Soton, Brentford, Blackburn, Stoke, Burnley, Villa etc. Teams like Norwich, Watford and Wolves have no reason for a third kit other than to sell more shirts - but even then, does anyone really buy all of their clubs shirts? (Disclaimer - I suppose if these teams had a red away shirt, they might need a third kit purely to play Bradford away from home!)
If memory serves, about 2 or 3 years ago, Norwich brought out three kits - Home was Yellow with green shorts (correct), away was green (ok, but strange that you didn’t choose a different colour), third was, er, yellow and green (wtf?). Now that is ridiculous.
I think that kit's a bit of a yikes. The blue is a bit too neon and somehow the dark blue bit on the shirt feels like it clashes with the shorts despite it being the same colour. It looks like a training kit, but I suppose seeing as it will be a rarely used third kit is basically is. Does that mean we're getting a white away kit again seeing as this kit exists? I was hoping for a black one
Excellent. That's the obvious one to redesign in a modern style. I feel like half the people I saw at Wembley were wearing that or the green and purple striped one

Had we worn our white away kit then it would have clashed with the white... in their home kit
So if we've got a white away kit again then expect this to be used when we face Brentford and Stoke, plus a few other teams for the sake of it
So like last season when we had a third kit for Sunderland and Doncaster
