Bolton's kits for the 2023–24 design were voted on by Bolton fans from a choice of three kits for both. The choices for the home kit were between a remade version of the 1983–84 kit, a remade version of the 1993–94 kit, and a third alternate design. The choices for the away kit were from Teal Diamonds, Navy x Hot Pink, and Graphic Black. The 1983–84 and Graphic Black options won the votes.[1][2][3]
