The number of Jamaicans in the borough of Greenwich is relatively low though, when compared to some other boroughs. Nigerians are probably the largest non white group nowse9addick said:

South east London has a massive Jamaican community and we have a fair few Jamaican national team players in our squad. And Larry’s sells rum punch in Crossbars.1 -

I'm just amazed that a company that is meant to specialise in design and clothing is doing worse jobs than concept art whacked up by a Charlton fan. I would have bought all 3 if @Nug was the one designing them.The Reebok have made three designs that follow the clubs design visions which have also been well regarded by lots of people.I’m not sure the club has an in house design team sitting on bean bags wearing Birkenstocks and “ideating”.
far more likely that Reebok made design suggestions that the club approved.

Tricky to measure as Nigerian has its own category on the ONS at 5%, whereas Jamaican will fall under 'Caribbean', which is also split into multiple different categories, e.g. Black British Caribbean, Black Caribbean, multi/mixed-ethnicity Caribbean, which is around 7% - obviously not all will be Jamaican/Jamaican heritage there.killerandflash said:

When are they going to sort that online shop out? It's horrendous to navigate and half the stuff is missing or not in logical sections.5

I hate the weird flashing tabs screaming 'Come back! Don't leave me! Buy this tat!' it has when you click onto another tab. Absolutely no desire to continue seeing what's on the club shop site if it's going to be a needy prick about itThe Red Robin said:When are they going to sort that online shop out?

I just don’t get why we’ve chosen to pick on one nationality. Not suggesting we needed to go for an all inclusive nations shirt as SE9 kindly posted but I find what we’ve done a bit odd. Nice shirt but as far as I remember SE7 is not in Kingston. There are plenty of ethnic groups in SE London that rival Jamaica in numbers.1

Don’t read the social media posts, but have they said it’s in reference to Jamaica or is it we are just using those colours?No one says the blue and white kit is a nod to Finland3

The new goalies top is meant to be on sale at 11:00 am , does someone need to push a button, as its not there?The Red Robin said:When are they going to sort that online shop out? It's horrendous to navigate and half the stuff is missing or not in logical sections.1 -

I expect this has Charlie Methven’s fingerprints all over this. Wasn’t he the one who set up the tie in with the team over there. Based on watching the Sunderland documentary this is exactly the sort of thing he’d throw his weight into. I don’t think the reasoning is deeper than that. A 3rd kit is a bit of a free hit and it’s definitely aimed at a young urban market. I reckon it will be massively popular.ShootersHillGuru said:I just don’t get why we’ve chosen to pick on one nationality.

I like it a lot. Better than the second kit0

I like it a lot. Big fan.0

Don't forget, we have a tie up with a club based in Jamaica. It's more likely to have something to do with that, than us having 4 Jamaican internationals in the squad..MrOneLung said:Don’t read the social media posts, but have they said it’s in reference to Jamaica or is it we are just using those colours?No one says the blue and white kit is a nod to Finland1 -
It's alright, think expectations went through the roof so seems a little bit of a let down.
The away might just edge it for me.0 -
I think all three kits are horrible.Reebok are trying far too hard, as are the club.
And we don’t need a third kit.8 -
I like it... But think Plymouth's rendition of the Jamaica kit from last season looks slightly better... If that's what we were going for.

Reebok need to get @nug a consultancy gig for next season. Reebok are on a better track vs Castore for sure BUT Nug’s designs warm to us fans more. Tweaks on a theme which work better.
Nevertheless, I will buy the 3rd.4 -
I quite like that 3rd kit. Definitely needs a Desmond Dekker song adapted for the Charlton Aces…
I’ll start,
get up every match day,
slaving for the Reds sir
so that every Charlton fan can sing…
Come on, Up The Addicks, ah
and repeat

The logo on this looks like those memes on twitter "for every like I'll make Ronaldo fatter". Why is it so big?Braziliance said:

Yes - whomever allowed that logo through at that size needs to be spoken to most sternly, it's ridiculous.0

I was presuming it's an attempt to appeal to the local community in order to boost our attendances, especially as RBG are doing their best to deter our historic fan base.ShootersHillGuru said:I quite like it but a serious question.

Still no kits for 5/6/7 year olds, how has the same mistake been made on all 3 kits ?2
