IPSWICH fans have been left divided as the club debuted its Ed Sheeran collaboration third kit.
Before the season began, Town announced they would have a special third kit for the season designed with musician and Tractor Boys superfan Sheeran.
The kit finally saw the light of day as Ipswich paid a visit to Tottenham in the Premier League, with Sheeran in attendance in North London.
However, the pink colour scheme inspired by “Suffolk Pink” left fans divided.
Taking to social media, one fan said: “Ed Sheeran disasterclass.”
A second said: “[It] Hurts my eyes.”

Another said: “That Ipswich kit is so clean.”
A fourth added: “That Ipswich kit is gorgeous.”
A club statement when the kit was revealed in the summer said: “Inspired by ‘Suffolk Pink’, representing the iconic cottages scattered across the county, the new shirt features the silhouette of Framlingham Castle, made famous by Ed’s track ‘Castle on Hill’.
“The Wolsey Gate, which inspired the turrets at the top of the Town crest, is also included in the design.

“Ed Sheeran x Ipswich Town’ appears inside the neck whilst an Ipswich Town heart motif takes its place on the back of the shirt.
“Soundwaves created from the cheer of the crowd as players run out of the tunnel also appear on the front of the shirt, along with a representation of the 60 miles of Suffolk coastline, running from Felixstowe to Lowestoft.”
Before the Spurs game, Kieran McKenna’s side were winless in the Premier League, having racked up five wins and five defeats from the opening ten games.
Two of those draws had come away from home.
