New Home Kit Revealed?

At the risk of upsetting Ray Winstone and the West Ham United commercial department, here is a sneaky pre-launch look at the new "dicky dirt" for next season, as appeared on several Hammers sites this afternoon. I'm not that convinced by it yet but obviously it will look a lot better if worn by Luis Jimenez and Amantino Mancini come Monday's big launch. I would attribute credit for this reveal but, in the circumstances, repectful anonymity is probably the way to go.

    I don't think it will look anything like that. You've been duped.

    should be more blue, possibly change the sleeve colur, but apart from that it's ok.

    If that's true, then it's a completely crap kit. West Ham kits are claret body with sky blue sleeves - like Burnley and Villa. And I bet they both manage a decent kit this year.

    If it's true, then whoever chose it should be sacked or shot. I wouldn't want that kit if it was given away free at the beginning of the first game of the season.

    well if that's real i hate it, i don'tlike the away strip either, looks like i'll stick with the training top for the season.

    I love it!! Very retro, football kits we're much better in the 80's and this is spot on! Who cares if the sleeves aren't blue?!? What's wrong with a bit of a change??

    Awful
    Why can’t West Ham keep it simple, blue sleeves and white socks please!
    it’s a simple request Umbro, a West Ham shirt without the blue sleeves and white socks is like Celtic playing in a plain green shirt. I'm sorry but this looks like a 4:50 Friday job effort at the Umbro design studio

    It's true. I've ssen a picture with Winstone wearing the shirt on Sport.co.uk

    It's such a bad shirt. The Rangres one is better as it looks like one of their shirts from the 80s. also has a better collar than ours.

    If ours had the same cut as the Ranger's shirt with blue sleeves, then that would have been acceptable.

    I like the England home shirt but it seems Umbro have managed to make us look crap.

    The designer must have been a Spur's fan.

    Hideous. Who approved this rubbish??

    Perhaps the much classier away kit, should be worn at home and this cr*p worn as the away kit (or not at all preferably).
    The only way to get it changed, is if no - one buys it.

    Shocking kit, very similar to the 89/90 Bukta piece of shite!!!
    If you're gonna go retro go back to the 85/86 Adidas Avco strip!!!

    Oh dear.

    Is it a 3 year contract we have with Umbro?

    I hope so as this should be the final season.

    Bring on Nike or Adidas please. This shirt is terrible. Retro is good but we shouldn't base our shirts on the late 80s. The check fabric is terrible...so naff.

    Are we going to have shellsuits for the players to run out onto the pitch in? Or how about Upson growing a mullet?

    Let's pray we play better than we look.

    PS Claret socks!!!!!!!

    We don't play better than we look so far! But the new TQttenham-kit was even uglier (white and yellow)!!
