    The home kit isn't a Charlton kit in anyway, the away kit is meh, the 3rd is war crime

    The fact the colours make up the Belgium flag does amuse me though

    Not a fan of the home kit. Think the UoG spolit it with THEIR choice of logo.
    Away kit I like.
    3rd is awful.

    IMHO

    The popularity and sales aren't based on grown men who aren't going to buy one.

    Make it different, with different colours or like barca and more kids and teens are going to buy them.

    They are actually fine, they do a job and personally I don't mind them.

    Would prefer we make more money from our shirts by having a slightly different design, than to keep it plain old red to satisfy the people who won't buy one.

    The third kit is not the Barcelona away kit !!! as ours will have a solid back to it.

    It will look like a cheap copy of the Barca kit from the front and Blackpool from the back.

    Probably most Sunday pub teams will have better kits.

    I can assure you even when I was nine I would not have bought a kit just because it looked like Barcelona...

    It looks like something Jane Torvil would not look out of place in. Truly horrible.

    It's loud...it's garish...it's a third kit. Who actually wants to have a smart third kit. For that matter who wants to have a smart kit at all. If I want to look smart I don't wear a football kit, and if you do then take a long hard look at yourself.

    There should be a rule making all away kits as s*** as possible. I love my green/purple/white Charlton shirt, in the same way I love so many other audacious 90s kits. It's sad that we don't see any truly garish kits anymore.

    I can live with it.

    The charlton kit is also different because it has orange shorts and socks. Much better

    Would quite like the 3rd kit if it wasn't a complete rip off of what 1-2 other high profile teams have done already. When neutrals see it they will just say "its like the Barcelona away kit" regardless of what the socks are or what the back looks like. Plus I can't think of any teams we will have to wear it against, maybe only Bournemouth.

    The home one is still the best of the lot.

    Quite like the black one, simple enough, not sure what to make of the 3rd, I didn't like it much when Barca started wearing it and now we've just copied them, must have been another alternative in the Nike catalogue, bit gimmicky for me, will ask the 9 year old tonight what he thinks.

    What a load of old bollocks over nothing. Some people crack me up!

    I like the away kit, despite normally thinking a black kit looks terrible.

    I don't really care what the 3rd kit looks like, as we are hardly ever going to wear it, maybe 3 times next season.

    Brentford play in dark shorts and socks, so unless we're going with a mix and match of home and away kits (Charcoal - Red - Red/white), that 3rd kit will get an airing on the opening day of the season.

    It could be pink with yellow spots as long as our players know who to pass too.

    For 90 minutes once a week you will have to cast your eyes onto some coloured fabric. i just don't get why anyone would really give a shit what a 3rd choice kit looks like.

    Both crap. Can't wait until we get rid of Nike.

    I think our marketing team missed a trick there…

    How many times will we actually need to wear the orange kit? Bournemouth away?

    Amazing to think of the profit margins on these, plenty of websites selling our home one for £10.49 to think the supplier makes out of this and so does Nike, but stick a club badge on it and its £44.99 amazing to think football fans get ripped of so easy and just kept shelling out season after season

    If enough people buy and wear the third kit to home matches, think of the potential savings on stewarding costs.

    Don't mind them, much better than the home kit

    Well I quite like them all - home, away and 3rd kit (although its the worst of the 3). But as an 'older person' I probably won't get one as it seems (from reading the posts on here) that the general feeling is that grown men shouldn't wear them! So I'll probably get one of the polo shirts or the rugby top if thats acceptable?

    We will wear the third kit for games where there is absolutely no justifiable reason to be wearing the third kit at all.

    Weird that there wasn't a human being wearing the kit. What happened to the 'media event'?

    Nail on head. People are moaning and saying they are too old for them anyway
