Those with a keen eye for fashion like me will notice how the neck on the shirt mirrors the shape of the wings on the Castore logo. A nice little bit of attention to detail.


Very astute.
So, does my bum look big in this ?

Positively John McGinn-esque.

It's okay, needs more claret on the collar and the sleeves look very wide. Hopefully there's a long sleeve version with claret cuffs.

It’s the minimal claret trim that makes it look classy

The minimal claret works well on the body but just needs a bit more on the collar and cuffs. Hopefully we'll see that on the long-sleeved version.

Well spotted, Gok Wan.

I always thought our late 70’s Umbro away kit was untouchable but I actually think this is a contender. Identical in style.

I hate our yellow away kits buy that is a stunning shirt. It's a nice rich shade of yellow and the claret & blue works well with it, topped off with the overly ornate, embroidered crest which seems just right.

They are both absolutely solid.
I like them both. Although I wish they'd finished off the sleeves on the home shirt with a thin claret line, as on the away version.

Just my opinion of course but.....

Home - a bit boring - i will wait till i see it in the flesh

Away - bit too West Ham for me  - but again might look good live.

I wonder if we are to have the Professional and fat bloke versions again

Both are fab. Really like them. Simple but smart.

Can we change the badge soon? Back to the old circular one from the 80's please.

The only issue I have with the home shirt is that it doesn't look very claret.  It might be just the picture not fully picking up the colour but it does look a bit rustic to me.  Hope I'm wrong.

edit: I'm also a bit colour blind so it might be just me.

It's not just you, the claret looks a bit 'weak' but it might be the lighting. Preferred the vibrant shade of claret in the 'Luke' shirt.

But almost inevitably identical to the real thing.
