I really like the new kit. I agree with Nug that the banner under the badge is a bit dated, but taken as a whole I think Hummel have done a great job.
It's my favourite kit since the last Le Coq Sportif one.
Banner under the badge is an example of tradition used in a dated way. Looks like it belongs on a late 80s/early90s CAFC kit, but the Ribero kits we had then were a little behind the times even then. Slightly spoils the home shirt but it's still nice. I really like the away shirt.

I think that was the point.
Yes of course. I just don't think that was a good thing aesthetically in this instance.
I know I've said that we shouldn't, needlessly, criticise the club, and I don't want to cast aspersions on our fans but I had a walk around the club shop and it was heaving. I looked at a few things and it looked like nothing had a security tag on it. There was a silly long queue, and there seemed to be more than one person operating the tills (either that of the chap was flirting with the women serving) so I don't see how they would have spotted or been able to stop people literally waling out with stuff.
They have swapped the doors around too so it meant that many people came in the 'exit' and left via the 'entrance' - I'm sure this will sort itself out soon enough but I was staggered that there were not security tags on the caps. Anyone could have put one on and just wandered out - well shuffled out.
Maybe football fans are not inclined to shoplift from their own club but they couldn't have made it easier for one to do so.
Also, I take back my comments about the new shirt - it really is nice. I was very tempted to buy one!

Sounds like you were tempted to nick one!
Assuming that I did nick one would that sit ok with those that say we are not to 'buy' anything from the club. I mean if I didn't, actually, pay for it would that make it alright?

Bought the new shirt yesterday for my youngest who was attending the valley for the first time.
Didn't size up the adults shirts but the kids are quite small
Agree with that mate, my Grandson is 10, in fairness tall for his age, but the 13/14 years shirt was tight on him, so I ended up having to buy a small men's at £45!

You should have just nicked it!
;-)
All joking aside the club should have sold you it for the same price as a kid's top as they are clearly all sized wrong. There is probably an issue with the sponsor too. The club should look into this and/or Hummel should.

The 5/6 would have been off of him by the end of the summer so got him 7/8.

Although they struggled with the pre-orders as they when one of the trustees went into to pick up our free shirt they wanted a name.
"it says "Charlton Athletic Museum" on the order"
"But whose name is it under?"
"Charlton Athletic Museum, look it's on the order."
Got it eventually as it was listed under "Mr"

He will be 4 on the 14th August!
Thanks Hummel for the shirt and to @cafc999 for getting 20 players to sign it.
