According to the club, the grey shirt 'includes telescopic imagery and galactical visuals inspired by Greenwich's Royal Observatory'. Really?!? Who makes this stuff up?
Same with the Greenwich skyline nonsense. I think the creative responsible used to write the descriptions for perfumes & aftershaves

Surely it can't be grey?
What about battleship, charcoal, granite, silvered, stone, much more flowery for the Marketing/PR crew.
I like the home kit, love the white collar trim, and feel we should always have a white collar trim. 8 for the home kit
Can't stand the away kit, horrible shade of yellow, looks really cheap and tacky, like it's been through too many wash cycles, give it maybe a 2 or a 3
Third kit could have been nice, as I don't mind Grey kits, but too many issues. As someone pointed out, it looks very cluttered all central, the castore doesn't line with the tip of the sword and the RSK is too big and looks too standout (which I do understand is how sponsors are supposed to work), from an aesthetic point of view it's terrible. If the RSK was black, and it was less messy I'd give it maybe a 7 or thereabouts. Right now I'd say it's a 4 or a 5 at best.
Plenty of bargains to be picked up the end of the season I imagine. The yellow one, they'd struggle to shift me that for free though.
That grey kit is awful Having the "design" sploshes just on the front is a cop out The whole of the logos might technically be centralised but the point of the sword missing the middle of Castore looks so clumsy With the dark sploshes on the shirt, having the shorts the same grey as the background looks daft, they need to be the darker grey/black. Looks like something the YTS kid knocked up in 2 minutes on Castore's kit configurator. It'll be discounted by half term and £5 per shirt by Christmas or they'll never shift even the first boxful Can't be cheap enough. 0/10 for this one, 3 for the yellow, 6 for the home.
Lots of grumbling about Castore logos etc coming off in the wash - I have a few merch items and none have deteriorated despite regular machine washes.
I have the green training top that I wear to the gym (it was €9.60 on Sports Direct). It gets washed once a week. I’ve had it since February. Still looks good as new, badges still there.
My soon to be 18yr old boy messaged me earlier about this. "Best Charlton kit in years...i think it looks cold". I'm assuming that was a hint at a birthday gift haha!
Boring kit but then again with a yellow away kit it’ll barely be worn
Burton, Cambridge, Mansfield ... at least.
I was thinking that we'd hardly have to wear this one, but forgot about the contractual obligation to wear the yellow one for UoG. If we have to have UoG on the away, why does the 3rd have RSK plastered on it?

Is that to encourage us to take telescopes to the match, so we track our set pieces, corners and shots from distance?

Or to locate the exact position of Nicky Baileys Swindon penalty ball, as it circles the planet?

They got the home shirt right which is what’s most important.
8, 9.9 and 5 for me

"The lines on the QPR away kit are inspired by the bars outside the cells of nearby Wormwood Scrubs prison."
But others will (and do!) disagree:
