I think it's quite nice, however I don't think it should be our away kit. 3rd kit yes (like the black Adidas one). Thing is though the kit buying demographic is young'uns so I wouldn't be at all surprised if the kit designers are thinking more about what the kids would like rather than us old gits :)

I loved that shirt, but pretty sure we had white shorts and socks with it (which we always should) as the Historical Football Kits site shows?

I can only assume this was an away game?

Was not a fan of this seasons shirt, and doubt I will be a fan of next seasons. Did umbro fire all of their designers or something!? Our last shirt at the Boleyn was magnificent.

^^^ Agreed.

2015/2016 kit was perfect. Less is more.

It could've been a lot worse I suppose. At least the basics are about right

The adidas kit Goddard is wearing is indeed a thing of beauty, my personal favourite of all time.

Correct, those are the away shorts and socks in that picture, but it gives people an idea of how the blue option will look.
We have never had blue shorts AND socks as our home kit. Had them individually as part of the home kit, but never together.

The thing is all these manufacturers release a new kit every year, knowing kids will always want the latest kit that is out. But in reality, all these manufacturers are lazy, use a certain template and create the same kit for most of their clients. Our kit will look **** if its the same template as Everton's as it just doesn't look right.

Its funny because our kit should be pretty easy to design as we have good colours. It is just laziness and greed, the kit we used this season just gone was an absolute pile of ****, worst kit i have seen in years yet people still buy it. It just means companies like Umbro can whip up a template on Photoshop in 10 minutes and distribute it to all their clients as people will buy it regardless.

You will get a good reproduction on ebay for around £20... look for west ham shirt 1981 or 1982

If you want an original you are looking at over £100
