It's taken a long time to put the 509 emails. Into a spreadsheet . It's done now so expect an email soon. I'm actually on holiday here in England so it's been a bit fraught as the battery on my laptop is knackered. So we could only work on the spreadsheet when we had an electric hook up at campsites during the evenings. The first of the two samples I've ordered is being flown to @Nug today so we will see that next week. The second supplier sample will arrive in about 10 days, there was a very slight fault in one of the letters that I want corrected.Once we have recived both samples we can compare the quality and then get the shirt into production.

Here the official protest kit as advertised in today unofficial match day program. Before anyone asks the obvious questions...no we couldnt use the sword, The Valley, Addicks etc as the club has them trademarked. The design is an acknowledgement of the clubs achievements in the 1940's with the Robin style badge and a nod to the recent beachball protests. We would have loved to have used The Addicks, but the next best Charlton association is of course the Covered End. The team who came up with the design hope you like it, and please give use some idea of how many we should order by emailing us....here is the article from today's excellent unofficial program.
REPLICA PROTEST SHIRT: This is the new official Charlton protest shirt, which we are announcing for the first time today in our latest unofficial matchday programme.
CARD is calling on all Addicks to boycott the club’s official replica kits for next season – and to show their support for the team, but not the regime, by wearing an alternative shirt instead.
The club is likely to announce up to three new shirt designs in the summer, each of which will last just one season. Replica shirts are the major element of Charlton’s merchandise sales.
The CARD-endorsed shirt is of a high quality and utilises the black and white colours worn in the team’s 1947 FA Cup final win over Burnley, which have already been widely adopted by protestors this season in the form of scarves.
Profits from sales will go to the protest fund and a local charity. The shirt will be keenly priced and the intention is to make it available by mail order during the summer.
Further announcements will be made via social media and on the Charlton Life forum. However, it would be really helpful in the meantime to have an idea of the likely demand. To register your interest please email coveredend@gmail.com.
Google in their infinite wisdom have decided that at least 106 of my sent emails are spam......so I now have to send each of those out individually.....bear with me.
Going to Palencia in summer hols to take daughter to visit Spanish mate. Have you seen their kit. Whoever designed that kit needs shooting. Think they've seen too many mob films or are involved in underworld 'customer services'

Thanks for your very detailed email and all the hard work you have put in to get the shirt launched. Great achievement. Not going away this summer myself, but bet plenty will be worn abroad, so great timing too.

how long until we can start buying the shirts? I'm off to Majorca in just over three weeks and would have liked to have bought one by then. Any chance?

No is the honest answer. I'm aiming for late July but it is dependent on actulal orders as opposed to expression s of interest.

That's a shame. I'll just have to be patient then. I assume as I emailed my interest, I will get an email with a link to the site I can buy them?
