    I like the kits overall, but genuine question, how many fully grown men walk around wearing goalkeepers kits? Cant imagine many even though we do have a degree of weirdo's supporting us.
    With the goalkeepers' kits being essentially just outfield shirts in a different colour this year I imagine a lot more will be sold. If you really want a shirt, you will have the choice of 6 colours this year, so can just pick your favourite.

    I'm actually looking forward to seeing the range of training/casual wear. Even in my 40s I still like a replica top, but it becomes harder and harder to justify the cost for something I wear a dozen times for 1 or 2 years and then it joins the pile of old shirts in the back of my wardrobe.

    The back story can fuck off - load of old bollox that an overpaid marketer has come up with to justify their fee. 

    Like the kit, the shorts especially.

    A solid reliable away kit. A George Dobson.

    Now for a third kit with some real flair. The, erm, DJ of the kit world?

    Those shorts would go so much better with the home kit! Now that would be a great combo!
    while we are able to tweak the kit for small clashes with shorts and socks, i imagine they will randomly wear the third kit to justify it's existence/sell more of them.

     i'd much prefer we only change what's needed and wear red shirts as much as possible (even wearing away shorts and shocks with the home shirt away at portsmouth)

    Pity about the black bits, I like everything else about it

    Although looks like the badge might be one of those cheap iron-on transfers...

    It's the reverse of what they say for the women's kit. They have UoG as the home sponsor and RSK as the away sponsor 
    The womens home shirts on the club shop have RSK as the sponsor though
    The womens' shirts in the club shop are womens' sizes of the mens' team's shirts. I don't think the club's planning to sell replicas of the shirts the womens' team wear, which is what's being modelled here. So I imagine once the away shirts turn up in the shop they will all have the university on the front rather than RSK.

    The third kit will be something very bold, based on what Jayden said in his interview a few weeks ago, and given the red and white of the home and away I'd expect it to be darker in colour. 
    Maybe a remake based on this?

    Wouldn’t mind something like green and purple kits.

    I think Olly said the ones used for the photoshoots were prototypes, and the ones being sold will have different badges on them

    It's ok. Would have been nicer without the black under the arms.

    The University of Greenwich logo on the front of the men's shirt looks cheap and is (imo) too big. The badges on the home and away look awful. What happened to sewn badges?

    The sweat wicking will come in handy digging out those chalk pits.

    Covered here before, the photoshoot was with prototypes with ironed on 3d effect badges, the actual kit will come with the flat badge on them in a thicker material

    Having separate sponsors for the home and away kit could cause issues with the GK shirts

    For example when we play at home a team who plays in yellow (e.g. Burton) the keeper will presumably have to wear the blue "away" shirt, so I assume they'll have to have sets of GK kit with both sponsors on them.
    I guess this may explain the colour clash at Sutton - they may have had an away keeper's shirt, but only with the wrong sponsor on?

    Anyway, there's an easy fix - just borrow an unusually large-sized away shirt with the RSK logo off the women's team.

    Those fitted darts on the front of the shirt will catch a few out. Not for the average pie eater. 
    Decent kit though and great to see the UoG on the front.

    All of the above... horrible. 

    Purple and green are for Wimbledon ball boys/girls.

    The complaints of boring/unimaginative - I don’t know how many times you can remake red and white shirts. If you wanted a different colour, fair enough.

    Castore have found a way add a little touch of something different without it looking ugly… I’m looking at you away shirt 18/19, home shirt 21/22. 

    The soft diamond pattern on the home shirt and the wavy chalk pattern on the away are just enough to add interest/depth without overpowering the rest of the shirt. For the first time in a while I’ll probably get both.

    I like it. Prefer the Uni sponsor look to RSK.

    With this kit probably best not to ask for sauce with your chips if you’ve had a few pints already

    Same as the first kit for me.  I like the top but not sold on the shorts or socks. Only moderately whelmed by Castore so far.

    Very bland unimaginative kits in my opinion. Really dislike the Castore logo being so large as well. 

    I've stopped collecting shirts so won't be buying either of them.
