Looking at the pictures again, they clearly didn't find kit to fit our players, especially Cousins, the shirt is far too long, his shorts are so baggy they look like a skirt, while his socks are so long they almost look like tights!
Does anyone know if the away and third strip are on sale at the club shop yet or is it just pre order
My nephew wants the vile third strip for his birthday and i may get my sons the away one , that home kit is not growing on me , it's just nasty !
Time to start educating your nephew on taste then Oohaah - never to early...
Quote from a (non CAFC fan) mate of mine on seeing the third kit: "Don't understand the thought process behind it, surely lining the club up for unfavourable comparison and potential ridicule whenever it goes tits up on the pitch..."
*Edit* I should point out that my primary concern is not the comparison with Barcelona - it is that it looks like a s**t cycling jersey- as it did on Barcelona.
I don't think our kits are the worst. Some of the other club's are absolutely hilarious. Blackpool's away, Brentford's goalkeeper, Leeds' goalkeeper and Birmingham's away, those shirts just don't look right...
I've always liked the Macron home shirt and lukily for me, the shop had my size. Got it today and I absolutely love it. The only (tiny) problem is that it's thicker than I thought. I wonder how you can wear a shirt like this in the hot summer?
By the way, when I was browsing that site, I was thinking 'thank God I don't support clubs like Villa, West Ham as their shirts look pretty bad in real life and I would never want to wear them.'
Kits come and go...hope our white breasts leave fond memories. Would have been clever to have the red across the shoulders and white underneath as a nod to our 60s kit but hey ho. Hate hooped socks which clash with the v pattern on the shirts like wearing a striped tie with check shirt. Of other kits like Birmingham home and away and as always prefer Middlesborough away to home. In premier like Stoke and West Ham away and good to see the saints with strips. WBA are doomed. Prize for the best marketing pic goes to Real Madrid with the world cup's best player modelling the kit.
For the record at home ,Charlton have played in all red, white with red shoulders and black socks, red with black socks and for Les Berry's testimonial - all white. For one friendly they also played in purple shirts and white shorts.
I wonder which individual decided that the proper University of Greenwich logo was 'too busy'. Sounds like an on the hoof decision by one individual which we all have to put up with, or that it would've put the cost of producing the shirt up by 50p per 'unit' to £1 each, and eaten into the forty odd squids profit to be made per shirt. The training top is the way to go if you really want to look the part in my view.
Now I've seen a few souls wearing these, anyone care to venture sizing advice?
As a more robust (lardy) supporter, if there's any hint of tailored fit then all is lost. What I'm hoping people will say is that they're roomier than a tardis. What I expect is that if you've got a head bigger than a pea or a belly less lean than Peter Andre's you're screwed.

Went down the shop today and got my 8 year old the home, away and keepers (spoilt brat) 6 year old only got the away , 4 year old got the home although he was wearing a 6-8 year old top Nothing there for the 2 year old , the Avec chuff ,for 5 years old down , not arriving for a couple of weeks ....although my 4 year old could wear the 6-8yer old top but he's a bit tubby!
Looking at the home kit my view is that it is just nasty and cheap looking and the advertising on the shorts makes it look cheap and nasty , from behind the home kit is a bit Roherham for me Don't mind the away kit that's ok

Bloody Hell Oohahh, so no running around the garden in your brothers red t-shirt pretending to be Charltons star centre forward for your nippers!
Are you looking to adopt? pocket money negotiable...
The old un gets 3 (future hand me downs) ....this is first time the other two got new ones only cos we were passing The Valley ,on way to my sisters , so I thought a bit of brainwashing /bribery in to Charlton would be a good start ....

Feel like I've seen those two blokes in the middle somewhere before.

Looking through the whole lot I find myself reasonably happy with ours.

I quite like the 1st shirt and I'm ancient though!
fantastic service.
Im not getting one but it is fine and it will be gone again this time next year, for anyone having a fit over it.
We play in red shirts, not red and white shirts.
