    Don't mind it. Don't massively care. More interested in who we bring in to wear it.

    However, where was the promo shot?   I think maybe the Golden Chippy in Greenwich, but not sure?

    Son showed it to me as he thought it was 'pretty decent', i couldnt see what the pattern was without my glasses on. Put my glasses on and still cant. Thought it might have a bit more blue in it but think its a grower

    In 21/22 the 3rd kit had just the sword, in 22/23, the 3rd kit again just had the sword, in 23/24 it was the away kit, while in 24/25 it was the 3rd kit, so I'm surprised it's caused much surprise. I think the sword logo looks good personally, and it harks back to some pretty popular kits of the 70s

    3 black kits in 5 seasons (4 if you include the black Castore goalkeeper top) would suggest another black kit for our 3rd kit this season is extremely unlikely

    The ‘inspiration’ stuff gets more and more bollocks each time.

    The kit pays homage to Charlton fan, Floyd Rose, who as a young fan playing in the dusty SE7 streets once kicked a multi-coloured Mitre football over the gates of the East Stand. Undeterred, young Floyd stole his convicted thief of a dad’s bolt cutters and broke his way into the ground to retrieve his ball so his friends could continue playing.

    Floyd’s actions of resilience, determination, sustainability, family focus and community spirit are synonymous of the ethos of Charlton Athletic…


    It is a load of bollocks, I’ve had to write my fair share of it too in my job, but never as bad as this crap!

    We’ve actually had loads of decent designs over recent years, but the material is cheap, shiny and badly stitched on virtually every one so none look that good. It’s a shame because when you feel the weight and thickness of the old Le Coq Sportif and Joma shirts you realise how different they used to be. The sponsor materials and embroidered badges obviously made a big difference too.

    Away kit is awful - and with that badge nobody will know who it is. I've sent it to a few people and there first response is 'whose kit is that' 

    I take it the few people you've sent it to are not Charlton fans. Every single Charlton fan would recognise the sword emblem as us, and I couldn't give a flying f*ck what non-Charlton fans think.
    Replica shirts are the single most effective advertisement  / recognition for a club so when you purposely attempt to reduce that reach (no non-Charlton fan would know that’s a Charlton shirt) you’ve wasted a clear and obvious opportunity

    What the hell is this shirt and badge doing.

    Trust it’s a wind up.

    You know things are definitely on the up when one of the only things we have to worry about is the badge on one of the kits.

    If the third is black and gold I hope it’s better than the last two efforts with that combination. The Castore one looked cheap and Joma’s attempt was a monstrosity. Tarnished by relegation as well.

    I would suggest that league position and success are the single most effective advertisement / recognition for a club. 

    The ability of a non-fan to recognise a shirt, and the subsequent impact of that inability to recognise a shirt, would ultimately amount to about two fifths of fuck all in terms of impact.

    With this morning’s addition of Bell, the 3rd kit might as well be a Jamaican kit

    Mendez said on the Substack pod today that the away kit was meant to be the third kit but was so popular it was bumped up. Guess that means the third kit will be relatively plain in comparison

    I guess that now we have the same sponsor across home and away, and therefore no obligation to not  wear our home kit unless there's a clash... the difference between away/third is minimal.

    I.e. we just whichever one is best suited

    It was unclear but I guess staff/fans who were consulted. At least 2 posters on here alluded to having seen it so I'm sure plenty of people had

    You could see that in the teaser photos that were issued before the release, the seams were coming apart. If they can’t get that right on a sample, what chance on a production run?
