New kit and commercials - (now with added poll)

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

not bad kits but my only problem with the home kit is and i say this every year is that the claret and blue should be darker.

This.
Not quite CLARET enough or BLUE enough!

Both look alright to me, although I imagine a few referees will veto the away when playing at West Ham or teams that wear red. Suspect we'll keep the green kit as an option and wear the new away kit when not strictly necessary a few times- Man City and Everton, for example.

We are keeping the green kit as a third.

I don't understand the choice of "blackcurrant" at all to be honest. One man's blackcurrant is another's claret so why not just have it/call it claret?! If we're restricted from having claret as a main colour in the change strip how many referees or fans for that matter are sartorially and colour-coded enough to tell the difference? Odd.

I'm glad it's not black and white as was predicted though. It's growing on me, quadrants is certainly a bold move.
I do like the nod to '82 with the home and the new sponsor doesn't sully it too much. I'm still annoyed that we have to feature the Macron men while Napoli and Lazio don't.

I like the home kit. None too sure about the away (agree with the comment a few up about it looking like a Fiorentina shirt, not that that's a bad thing) but I seem to be very much in the minority in liking last seasons distinctive offering so what do I know? Quite frankly though, so long as we play well in it I couldn't care less what our kit was like.

Poor Gabby, Nobody told him to go home, He's still stood there now

[PeterWithesShin]

All you need is to add a green base and it's Subbutteo Gabby!

They've grown on me now. They are lovely kits.

Still not buying them though.

The away kit is bloody dreadful. I quite like the home kit though. I think I'll buy a retro shirt instead of investing in either though.

Home shirt is OK, I'm a traditionalist and favour minimalism so would have preferred it without the tat on the shoulders and the collar looks awkward . I like the away shirt a lot, disliked last years.

Same here. Not sure whether to get the home one or away one (1982).

I'd like to think that this would have been thought of when designing and choosing them.
There's no point in having a second strip that's so close to the home kit that it cannot be used vs WHU & teams in red.

West Ham can change their shirts, as they fucking robbed them off us in the first place.

Why don't the club put Acorns on the kids shirts?
