Looking at that old picture of Keithy Peacock, the new shirt would definitely look better with a white collar
That's what's missing! I kept thinking there was something missing (other than the sponsor), there aren't any white bits. Since 1931 almost all of our shirts have had white either on the collar or the sleeves. Look here: http://historicalkits.co.uk/Charlton_Athletic/Charlton_Athletic.htm
Maybe that's why, for me, this shirt feels almost unfinished.
You have to remember that this is out of a catalogue. They only do one shade of red. They can't change the collar size/colour etc. They have thousands of these in a warehouse, and all they do is have the team's badge sewn on and sponsor heat transferred on, just like any name and number printing on the back.
It's the wrong colour, would prefer Macrom to this.
The club know this, it will be 'Charlton red' by the time it makes the store.
If this is the case, then why show the one in reception? I don't like the dark red, it looks like the Arsenal kit from the other year when they changed back to the colour worn by them, when they played this side of the river. Now it could be that this was the colour that the young lads of Charlton first had in 1905, as they got their tops from a shop in Woolwich.
It could be this, or it could be that it's a sample from the supplier and the final produced version will be, as I say, in a different shade of red. I know 90% of stuff on here is made up crap, but this isn't.
I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on one of these shirts. I'll be preordering it as soon as they allow us to, plus a new sheatshirt or track suit top.

When real men played in real kits.
I went into reception after taking this and they are similar... the window was tinted however so could explain a bit.
The Charlton team is full of lean mean fighting machines.
@Nug you're designs were way better.
Thanks
