I really like this away shirt - if I can get one without 'sponsor', I'll be buying my first non-goalie CAFC kit in about 20 years. It's not that I'm an uncaring barsteward, just thinking more in terms of wearing it aht, aht - would look better without.
Best kit in years. Red in the badge would have looked really odd, nice touch to change it. Home kit is probably the weakest.
Agree about the badge, definitely works like this.
A red badge wouldn't have really worked with the colour scheme, so quite like the blacked-out version, looks smart.
The Ecru away kit we had in the late 90s also had a badge that was 'coloured out' to fit the shirt. It was a popular kit, but a red badge on that would have looked horrendous and ruined it completely!
I also wouldnt have the pin stripes going through the sponsor yet would use the Sponsor name to break the stripes up
Disagree with that. I hate when clubs have a huge box on the front of their shirt for their sponsor. Brighton, Newcastle etc. come to mind. Wouldn’t be as noticeable with the pinstripes but is still the same idea.
really like the look of that £45 is daylight effing robbery for a polyester t-shirt/advertising hoarding streets better than the ham-fisted collage 1st kit will look smart on the dummies in the shop window the less said about the ambulant dummies purchasing before the twunt is gone, the better not a penny more, no concessions, no excuses I'll give the protest shirt a rest for Solly's testimonial and dig out a pre-twunt red one
The white is definitely far better than the black. With a sponsor which is written in black, it draws the attention more than anything else. The white lets it be apart of the shirt in my opinion. Shame it’s not how it really is.
The away is definitely the best of the three I think though. Really do like it.

The shop is outsourced, the twunt doesnt get the money.

Ive been on hols so only just catching up with our news tonight really. I really like all 3 kits but the away one is my favourite. I dont wear kits anymore but back in the day i was an avid collector/wearer. I used to go up town to a shop in Carnaby St or maybe off Carnaby St, and buy random kits from all over the world that i liked. Never any other English kits othet than ours but i would come out with a Fiorintina away kit or an Ajax 3rd kit and be chuffed as fuck.
The 3 kits are probably among the best we’ve ever had IMO and by far the best of any other teams. I don’t buy or wear football shirts usually but even I may be tempted by the red and black ones. Sometimes, everything starts coming together at the same time at a club and going right. We might be in the middle of that happening just now. Those kits definitely will look good at Wembley next May.
To be fair, I like the away kit as much as I dislike the home kit. It is terrific. I think with the home kit, the black gets lost in the red. I think a black pinstripe would have worked better with white sponsor and manufacturer logos.

A mock up of the home shirt with the Hummel and Children With Cancer logos in white instead of black... think I prefer it to be honest!
(I can't take the credit for this, it was posted on the Charlton FB page)

I remember in my prime strolling around Eltham in my Fads kit... and complete strangers shouting at me,
"Oi, fads kit, you fads kit!"
Ah, those days.
Really like the away kit.
Love the third kit.
i.e. What da fuck!!
For starters, and aside from the pink/grey colour scheme, why is the chevron across the stomach?!

would love to see what a white version of that would like with the same stripes and shoulder effects
