Well done to whoever negotiated this sponsorship deal. We need the money. But, as long as I have supported Charlton, since the mid sixties, I have always been proud of the fact that we are one of the 6 or 7 top London clubs. Gillingham are Kent's club! Or Maidstone! Not happy with the idea that Charlton are a 'Kent' club! I remember coming back from away games in the sixties on the old Lewis coaches and people singing aboul the 'old kent road'! They would be rolling in their graves now if they knew that we are becoming more closely associated with the county of Kent than the Old Kent Road!
Having read the OS puff for this, I'm also disappointed we're still clinging onto this bollocks of being a Kent club - ffs, it made sense in the Premier League as it was a unique selling point, but Kent already has a two-bit load of shite in League One. Why would they want another one?
I'd barely heard of KRBS either, and their website doesn't look promising for an "innovative" outfit. Hmmm. Still, hopefully the deal is as good as claimed and they won't fall foul of the Curse of Charlton Sponsors.

Good to see David Gower helping Waggot out with the new kit there. Thought he might have been too busy with The Ashes! I think the new kit looks very cheap and the white stripe is a bit random, plus we've had virtually the same kit before for our centenary kit. I won't be buying it. I hope the away kit's better or its a retro shirt for me this year!
[cite]Posted By: ChicagoAddick[/cite]Agree with Ric and others above. It's only since Joma got involved that we suddenly have to have some white on our shirts.

With our record with sponsors, you should be getting out of there
Looks like it, but we did last season as well.
With our track record, if anyone has any money in the Kent Reliance....................You know the rest?

With your Physic I would'nt worry Dazzler.
Have to agree
If it had been just red it would look good.
I've only seen the photo, but that was my first impression too.
I'm confused is that a compliment or being nasty?
Totally agree.
Cutting down on the creative costs that will be the shirt that follows this one
Just remembered, our Mortgage is with KRBS
Yeah mine too. Technically i suppose that means we are sponsering Charlton Athletic.
when I first read that I thought it said Waggott !!
Kit is ok but I would have either ditched the stripe or had it down the middle vertically or across horizontally with krbs.com in red.
Did Joma do the early 60s shirts then?
