Can I please remind people once again that these are teamwear kits. We don't choose anything about them, just what template and what colour we want, and the club badge and sponsor is then put on them and given a £30 price hike.
This is the last season of the Nike deal. Next year we will probably move to another company like Adidas and have a teamwear contract with them.
It is highly unlikely we will ever have a bespoke kit made for us again unless we went with Umbro. Probably only half of the Premiership have bespoke kits made for them nowadays.
I personally feel that these are the best kits we've had in a long time. When you look at some of the other templates and colour ways in the 2015/16 Nike Teamwear catalogue we could have had a lot worse.
For my two penneth I like both the away kits, I'd happily wear the white one. I won't be buying one, partly because I'm still not putting any more of my money into Roly Douchebag's weird experiment, beyond paying to get in to watch the team I support. Incidentally, I've never spent my own money on a replica shirt for me, I don't really 'get' the whole replica shirt thing and £40+ for a polyester t-shirt has always been certifiably insane. The choice of white with red for the "2nd" kit is a transparent move to justify a 3rd kit cos the red and white won't be appropriate for all away games and the market for replica shirts is clearly susceptible to this obvious ploy. I'd be interested to compare replica shirt revenues to the club from the last few years when all 3 kits have changed in successive seasons to previous seasons when only one kit changed per season. To put it in perspective: 3 replica shirts cost 50% of the price of my season ticket.

Are people still calling RD 'Roly Douchebag'. Very very bizarre way for an adult to behave

Dont they look delighted to be modelling it, especially the goalkeeper with his pink collar and socks, you can imagine the stick he will get from behind the goal.
Right, so their home, away and third kits are all green and yellow? And look at the hideous way the Aviva logo has been incorporated into the home kit.

He looks less and less impressed with those shirts
Really like the new southend kit, reckon it would've made a good home shirt for us.
I really like the version of the Addicks shirt sponsorship that others have come up with, incorporating both the compass logo and the lettering of the University of Greenwich, much better than the "local chip shop" design we are lumbered with. But this one shows the other end of the sponsorship spectrum, only the type of no-life sad bastard who clicks on interactive adverts would bother spending time and trouble looking up what M -swallow do. Utter waste of time.*

The sash also comes down from the opposite shoulder to that Palace had.

CL Humour police, what's been going on here then?
Can't complain about our kits now!
