The new Goons 3rd kit has been released, same template as the away shirt but white and grey.

See your point Ian, it does not really should out “Irons!” like last seasons nice sky blue change. I dont think Umbro would have made the twin hoop shirt for 2009, but they might just for 2010. Perhaps it would have been better to put out a white away kit instead.

As for the Bolton template, its also being used by FC Koln (Red and white) and also by Lens (Yellow and red) and it does not look any better. Reebok have made some great kits for South American Club teams as of late, so how are they getting it so wrong this season in Europe

Good point Ian…it would work very nicely as a Cov away kit…though personally I’d love to see it as a home kit…maybe expand the light blue bit a tad.

As a Hammers fan I can tell you that that kit was originally taken pretty poorly by the fans but now not so bad. There is nothing to dislike really other than (and this is my gripe with it) it doesn’t say ‘West Ham’ to me. It’d be a perfect Coventry away for example. Maybe I just don’t get on with navy as our away colour.

As for the Bolton kit, it really does make you wonder what on Earth Reebok are playing at. How much was someone paid to come up with that???!

Love the new hammers kit, it looks classy. I dont think that claret and navy go well together, so the different shade of blue is a good choice in my opinion.

On the pocket on the Bolton shirt, I think there might have been some confusion at reebok, after doing all those Brazilian teams this year, and forgetting to put pockets on the shirts there (a common design feature in South American kits in the 50s and 60s) they decided to put one on the Bolton shirt. I think pockets can add something to a shirt (Celtic and Chelsea had kits with pockets in the shorts in the late nineties), just that it would have been better suited to Sao Paulo than Bolton. Perhaps a bit of Brazilian flair added

Not trying to be nitpicky John, but should the pinstripes on the Arsenal away be less pale than they are?

I like the Arsenal and West Ham ones, but the bolton one…will fans wearing it beep when they walk past checkouts? And if so, what would the price be? Class perhaps…
