I love my Woolwich blue shirt and having it alongside this new shirt in the marketing material is a big mistake. The 1992 shirt is a class act. Look at the way the maker's brand, the club badge and the logo are spaced properly on the older version. Our new shirt makers gave some junior graphic designer three minutes to throw everything on the front centred. It looks plain bad with the paired down club badge sandwiched and lost between oversized brand and sponsor logo. Also the dark blue sleeves gives the shirt a hint of Millwall.
It's a shame because, together with the 1992 beauty, I have always liked other manufacturers' efforts for our blue away shirts.
Blue is OK. Don't like the diagonal stripes and where is the proper badge...? Bring on the training kit with proper badge and no sponsor name. Must be an improvement.
Our badge is a classic and is a welcome contrast on whatever colour they decide to base a 2nd or 3rd kit. The black and gold last year was warmly applauded but if it had also the traditional badge ten times better imo. Why feck with perfection?
Hell what do I know? Haven't bought a Charlton kit to wear in 40 years.
Oh dear no! I prefer the original Admiral one. I like blue and wear that recent 'Ben Watson' one with pride when out running, if my other 'non Charlton' actual running shirts are in the wash.
I don't like the text and badge design on this one. When I heard the 3rd kit was to be blue, I was hoping for better. Simply horrid! It's a no from me I'm afraid. Up the Reds!

The proper badge and layout really would have made it better. That red accent would have popped

Logo lower, proper club badge and everything in the normal positions and it might have looked ok. The Woolwich shirt is miles better.

The bottom of the sword is in the middle of RSK, but the tip of the sword is not in the middle of Castore.

Very rough paint job but think the proper badge and not central looks far better than what we've got unfortunately.
with the badge and the logo on each side it would be the best kit of the 3
