KUMB has obtained the first picture of the new Hammers home kit, designed by new kit manufacturers Reebok and featuring new sponsors Jobserve.

The new shirt features the two new logos replacing Fila and Dr.Martens, and, just like the new away shirt, is remarkably similar to the so called fakes that first appeared on auction site Ebay several weeks ago.

However opinion over the new design - which you can see below - is already divided amongst supporters.


Naughty or nice? The new shirt


The shirt is definitely a move away from the traditional look; gone are the all-blue sleeves to be replaced by diamond-shaped claret patches and back come the much-maligned pinstripes, which hark back to the kits of the 1980's.

Already fans on KUMB's forum, who saw the new kit for the first time earlier today have criticised the new shirt which will be worn for the next two years.

Complaints include the aforementioned sleeves and pinstripes, whilst other posters have remarked on how the club crest appears to have shrunk.

However others have applauded the bold move to move away from the traditional style that was made so popular by Fila in their recent association with the club.

The new shirt is expected to be available in the shops later this month. Let us know what you think of it by visiting the KUMB forum.
