The only thing I can think of is that the speckle reflects the proposed pattern on the new stadium wrap.

I do agree, the first time I saw a picture of that short, the first thing I thought of was the tacky leisure shirts Bukta produced. At least it does not have the New York skyline

Looks a bit like Croatia's home shirts, doesn't it.

The Away goalkeeper shirt is 60 quid! I remember when when it used to be cheaper then the outfield kits.

If the home shirt is indeed the one which was leaked a couple of weeks back, I think I'll be buying this instead:

Similar to the home shirt but no blue stripes on the sides or QEII Park underneath. And it's £20 cheaper :thup:

Shame we couldn't have stayed with adidas really rather than umbro, still if we carry on upwards on our current trajectory we'll have them & nike come knocking soon.

But please not under armour as it sounds like a deodrant.

What is going on with the new online shop? I had a quick search but can't find anything. Please direct me if you know but it is not letting me log on and won't let me make a new account because it says I already have one and it just keeps directing me to the ticket page when I try to pay. An annoying vicious circle. Want to buy some stuff for my old man and a training top for myself but they don't seem to want my money.

I always find the Addidas kits annoying. Most kit manufacturers are happy with just their symbol on your chest, but Adidas have to really ram the message home by slapping three stripes everywhere.

The Umbro on the sleeves of ours last year annoyed me, too.

From memory, Umbro outbid Nike, Puma and Adidas to get West Ham. I'm happy to have the highest bidder and would rather a smaller manufacturer like Umbro, New Balance, Under Armour or Puma than Adidas or Nike as that way we get custom designed kit not generic templates.

Staff at the club store said the new home kit will be in store from 16/17 July.

I remember the 1974 World Cup when Cruyff refused to wear the three stripes on his shirt as he was sponsored by Puma. He had two stripes down his sleeve whilst his team mates had the Adidas three stripes.

Adidas have a long history of making beautiful and stylish football kits and the 3 stripes are a massive part of that.

I think the blue polo looks the nuts. It's the same colour as the jacket, I won't get both because I'll look like a smurf but the polo is going to be my shirt of choice for games this year!
