The Hummell guys came up to the museum and looked at our shirt collection. We allowed them to take a few away for colour and design purposes.
Quite a few people were asked questions including some people who'd just popped in to see the museum.
No idea of the design but the guys seem to be putting the work in to give us something bespoke and reflecting our history. We'll just have to wait and see.
I forgot we had Hummel next year until I saw Lithuania's kit the other day. Another reason I want the take over, I'm too old to be but I'm excited by a Hummel shirt, especially a bespoke one.

Apparently the new Hummel shorts could feature a motif commemorating Colin Walsh's iconic Back to the Valley goal, based on the sign in the Covered End.
I can't recall Colin's exact wording but the gist of it was "my career summed up by ending up wrapped around someone's arse".
I have heard that the home kit has a large photo of KM's face on it, Roly is on the away strip (he wanted to be on the home kit but people would doubt their sanity if they saw his face at The Valley on a matchday).
I don't buy replica kits anyway, but it will be nice to not be wearing a Nike catalogue kit. It's depressing when so many other teams are wearing exactly the same design as you!
Even if the basic design is similar to one worn by a team in Denmark or Bulgaria, at least it won't be worn by anyone else in England

The proof of the pudding is in the eating but having spoken to the designers a couple of times they are trying to do something to reflect our history and 25 years back at the Valley. And it will be a bespoke kit to us. Some will like it, some won't as with every kit.

No black and white away kit though
Are you the fashion consultant?
I look forward to the replica cardigan
Yes, of course I was consulted.
And there will be some lovely leisure wear.
Not a traditional away colour but neither is purple

I'm hoping it's yellow or maybe a callback to the dark green away kit in the early 90's

Maybe they will follow suit with the club on celebrating 25 years back to The Valley and cut parts of the shirt off like they have done with the east and west stands

Funny enough we (in the museum) showed them a photo of the green and black kit while dropping very unsubtle hints.
But it's not that or yellow. Better not say anymore or Tony Cajones will send the Car Park Four round ; -)

At least the away shirt colour will be nice.
They promised us a prototype in return.

Saw Liverpool's new kit today (very nice btw) and made me think back to the Hummel announcement.
Must admit I am looking forward to a Hummel kit as they have an "old school" quality about them
Normally anyway

But also because my son will grow out of his protest shirt and he plays in it.
I won't buy a charlton shirt no matter who the manufacturer is until the misguided billionaire leaves.
A shame, as I think the Hummel stuff could be alright and I'd like to buy some stuff.
NAPM I'm afraid.

That will be more than the number of goals we score next season!
