Past seasons have had lifers moaning about how our new kit has simply been tweaked from previous designs and does not warrant a total replacement. Now we are moaning that it is now "too red or too white". Charlton play in red and white and have done - in varying degrees - since I started watching in 1964. There will never be total agreement on an ideal new kit and I think this one will grow on the fans. If we have a successful season wearing it I will be happy.
Different people moaning Del...
AA - My point exactly. We will never please all of the people all of the time.....................
It's the red shorts that are really getting me still. No problem with them trying something new with the shirt, even if it is a bit much with the white, but I have no idea why they've decided to change the shorts to red. Not only do the white look better in Nug's mock-up but I would have preferred if we'd kept with tradition
Wow. That looks a bit weird. Why use that bloody horrible block lettering instead of the UoG logo? Still, not as bad as the Cabrini/Joma monstrosity of a few years back.
It's a brave new world. I like it. A lot. Its got a slight touch of a rugby league look about it but hey, no one moans about Oasis ripping off the Beatles.
Apart from being a really shit analogy, loads of people on here moan about Oasis ripping off the Beatles... LOL
Yep, I have to admit that was shit. I compared Charlton to Oasis..... *Hangs head in shame*
I quite like it. We play in red and white and this kit is red and white. Ok there is more white on the shirt than normal but the shorts are red. I'd prefer them white but it's not that a big deal. If the new kit were say blue then we'd have a problem but this is different and the right colours. If only we could still get replica shirts in 'big fat git' size ...
My first impression is that it looks awful but I might get used to it after a while. The shirt has too much white on it and the shorts should be white. Hopefully the away kit will look better?!

But we don't play in "red and white" we play in red shirts and white shorts. People reproducing pictures of one kit that was used for two years (and then dumped) fifty years ago as some kind of proof of "heritage" is akin to saying we are a trophy laden club because we won the cup in '47... :-D
Lot's of teams change the design but stick to the club colours. Why do we have to have a red shirt and white shorts Algarveaddick? Southampton dumped their stripes, the fans didn't complain, Liverpool changed to all red, Leeds went all white, even the scum change to stripes, blue shirts, all white and now dark blue, I never heard them moan. Lot's of teams change their design regularly, why shouldn't we?

WHAT? You are entitled to your opinion DFT, but making stuff up does nothing to further your cause...
I ordered one of these shirts yesterday and it arrived today. It doesn't look too white when you see it up close but there's no doubt that the sleeves are white. It is well made though, something that we forget about when we complain about how Nike don't make us a unique kit. We've had some real crap quality shirts in the past from some real mickey mouse manufacturers.
However, I remember, a few years ago, Arsenal having a shirt that had white stripes on the sleeves that were mostly red and many Arsenal fans, that are friends of mine, said that they though it looked like a Charlton shirt. Apparently that was a common thought in their fan base, which goes to show that it happens to all clubs, from time to time.

Oh - well that's put my mind at rest - glad we got it sorted, everything's okay again ... ;-)

Shorts- far too much red = shit
Socks- fucking hoops = shit
As I don't buy replica kits, I won't lose any sleep over this.......................
