Its actually beautifull like the yellow witht the red is quite weird but it works!!! its like fire!!!
I wish the owner (can't say his name or spell it for that matter, arabic letters and all that) would stop messing about, anyway just been asked to add new sponsor to the new kit. Little US company by all accounts.

It would be nice to get a decent kit make in but the club have always been about stiffing the fans over merchandise. The club shop staff have usually been poor with a lack of care over the last 20 years with a few exceptions (an american guy springs to mind who was good). The quality of merchandise has always been basic no frills to maximise profit, take a look at the cheap polos in store now. I once asked in store why we couldtjt get a good brand to make our kits (I thought jona was very poor) and was arrogantly told "we aren't a big enough team for that!" I then wondered how Grimsby sealed Nike.

OK, here we go again. : - (
Grimsby didn't seal Nike. They bought a Nike kit just like any pub side can do. They pay for a Nike kit out of a catalogue. Nike don't pay them.
Nike, Adidas etc aren't interested in paying smaller clubs that dont sell 100,000s of shirts. Charlton asked Adidas. Adidas said "sure you can wear our shirts if you pay for them"
Joma and Macron pay us (and West Ham and other clubs) to wear their kits. We get a number of free kits for all the teams and get money on top. I don't know how much but I was told that while Joma still wanted our business Macron "blew them away" with the offer they made.
It's about ££££. That payment is guarenteed and far outweighs any speculative increase in sales that might result from you preferring a trendy brand.
And where we are now that money is a really important part of the budget.

Powell's choice. Appears he likes a yellow kit as did well in them at Charlton and Southend.

New Charlton Away Kit
Trolled?
If not, Epic Fail lol
Preferred the all white with red on one shoulder and black on the other but there you go.
It's only a kit. It's the players wearing it that make the difference.
Thank you kind sir
And that kit is Sexy! Id definately buy one of those!
Very Melchester Rovers
But who will be our Blackie Gray and Roy Race next year.....
agreed...
I told my missus the new kit is gonna be sexy! She doesnt understand how a kit can be sexy. So i sent it to her and she said, ok fair enough. Please let that kit be the one
Even Newer Charlton Away Kit
Bit quiet at work today, obviously
I am inclined to agree it is rather striking and I do actually really like it.
Now we just need to get one big enough for Andy Reid and we'll be set for our promotion push
I refuse to buy one until we get a PROPER sponsor.
Stop changing it! The red one looks better!

New Sponsor for new kit
Never heard of them?
Also while we're at it can it be made by Nike and, for Leroy Ambrose, can the sponsor be Apple?
Now that's a kit I would buy.
