West Ham's new Adidas kits are the best so far this close season. Old school, as the kids say.

agreed. I think the away shirt is particularly smart

Hi, my first post on CL. I know it's not been announced yet, but does anyone here know when the the kit is expected to be revealed?

Gone for that "classic" look ...

A bit too flashy for me personally :')

Santos home kit template?

Won't be that I'm afraid

Trev, that's the wrong shade of red mate. ;-)

Being a kit designer must be an incredible difficult job. At the end of the day there is only so much you can do with a football shirt, and then fans say: we want something that looks smart and simple in these specific colours but that has never been done before. I challenge anyone to think of something that looks smart and simple but has never been done before.

Completely agree - I have assisted in the design of a team Charlton cycling jersey for the Prostate Cancer UK London to Amsterdam Challenge. I have attached a mock-up of the jersey that will be worn by Andy and Nick for the event. Keen to hear your thoughts on the shirt and if you would like to support their effort please visit http://www.justgiving.com/andrew-chipperfield

Is it possible to buy these ?

At the time of ordering we did think about this but it depends on numbers. If under 10 we were quoted £50 each and we thought that may make them a bit pricey (especially if a donation to the charity were to be added) but if I could get an idea of the numbers I could always go back for a quote. I have already had an enquiry from the "announcement section" and a couple of others.

As things stand there is a limited production run of four and we did think about an auction or lottery for one in aid of Prostate Cancer UK after the event?

Thats the p[roblem with low volumes, I'd be interested but as you say £50 is pricey, I'd def at £35, but would srruggle to justify if higher

If we can't find a sponsor a kit with just the badge and Nike logo would be smart

And probably expensive.

The Red Robin said:

How can a Championship club not find a sponsor? Is it our commercial team that are useless or TJ holding out for more cash?

It's more complicated than that. I doubt that big sponsors are falling over each other to get any club outside the EPL on board. There will be interest and its all about choosing the best deal and maximising the benefit. I would think that we are likely to get another local sponsor on a short deal perhaps even Andrews again. It may well be that a deal is done subject to nothing better being offered within the time constraints for kit manufacture.

Just a thought. If we are that strapped for cash, why aren't we looking for more than one sponsor? ie one for the back of the shirt, etc.

I personally hate this, but if the is a financial need why not?

Like I said, just a thought.
