It is what it is, i’m amazed football kits get away making a new a shirt every year flogging it for £50 when it reality there’s never a lot of difference , I normally buy the away shirts if any
Not bad, not sure about the collar though. I won't buy it though, instead I'll just wait for a cheaper castore top with a Charlton badge on it like I do most seasons.
The good, the bad and the ugly. Shirt is excellent, shorts look like beachwear and whoever designed the socks needs their head wobbled. As an ensemble it doesn’t work for me. Shame as the shirt is lovely.
The socks just look weird on Stockley because he's pulled them all the way up. When folded over/worn normally they'll have 2 sets of stripes on them at most and will look a lot simpler
Shirt is really nice, couldn't care less about the shorts and socks.
Most people who are interested will buy just the shirt, a few will buy the shorts to wear around the house or to the gym or something, and surely no one over the age of about 12 buys the socks anyway.
Players 'not fit to wear the socks' should look for employment elsewhere. I don't think the shorts go well with the shirt but are fine on their own. Shirts okay but we've had much better imo. A lukewarm 6/10
Looks good, see how it wears before final decision.
also big fan of the fluro yellow keepers kit
My son, when he was a kid and attended one of those junior red events, asked Rob Elliott why he wore bright shirts. His answer was interesting. Apparently when he was at the club at least, the first choice keeper had choice of colours. He had seen a study from the US that when rushed players instinctively shoot at bright colours so he favoured them. How reliable that study was I don't know, but I suppose it can help if you think you are getting an advantage.
One thing I never understand in these threads each year is the comments that always come up saying people are too old to care. Is there an age limit on when you can stop liking or even purchasing shirts and does that extend to everything in life?
If so it's a bit sad that people feel the need to live life by a set amount of rules determined by what age they are. If you like something then that's all that matters and don't feel like you need to apologise for it.

I love the shirt pattern and shirt face, but not a huge fan of the collar nor the half way round sleeve trimmings. The socks I like (a bit different) and the shorts - those stripes are a bit too thick, if they were thinner they wouldn't draw the eye so much and the kit would work better overall. Having said that, nice overall, and a lot more exciting than the vast majority of the Castore kits I've seen so far.
Disappointed that the Uni of Greenwich haven't tried harder with their logo on the Women's kit, and I'm assuming our away kit will be the same - as I've seen someone else here mention, their actual logo - with the compass - could look very very good if done properly. Instead, it looks like it's been done on Word with no thought at all.
Hope we reunite with Joma for our next deal - the kit they've made for Norwich is a cracker.

Interesting. And would make sense with all the bright options out there at the minute. I remember reading a goalkeeping coaching book 'by' Neville Southall who said he picked darker colours as they blended in to the crowd better so striker couldn't quickly identify his positioning. That said, if a striker couldn't see him in his latter years....they probably shouldn't have been playing professionally.
*Edit* Just a comment RE Rob Elliots comments...I am fully aware that NS also wore bright yellow kits - no trying to prove me wrong pls

Good solid effort effort though albeit not to keen on the collar.
8/10
Would be nice to have a kit which lasts 2 seasons
Shorts and socks wank and look like they belong elsewhere
4 new kits for space cadet kids please
I see they are available to order but how long before they're delivered ?
Most people who are interested will buy just the shirt, a few will buy the shorts to wear around the house or to the gym or something, and surely no one over the age of about 12 buys the socks anyway.
I just wish they would have a 2 year shelf life as no doubt the kids will be keen on it too!
appreciate it's harder if changing kit suppliers, but could be done for longer term deals
Would be a new one for us?
