First thought: Ehhhhh. Not great, but not totally hideous.

Second thought: That pinnacle logo is worse than the jobserve logo.

I have been looking forward to seeing this shirt but like Speedy my initial reaction was one of Uuhhhh...wierd. But then every year we have some strange new designs of shirt and no matter how odd they lok at first we always get used to them. I thought ManU's retro effort looked a bit strange anc cheap at first be cause it was missing black trim.

Should the pinnacle logo be a floating pin on badge like that? :rolleyes:

I like it better than the current Reebok, which to me, kind of looks like ladies lingerie, with its alternating textures.

Well that depends who's wearing it!!:rolleyes:

The new strip has grown on me a bit already. It looks better now than earlier on today.

The away shirt reminds me of the new England shirt, proudly worn by the boys as they crashed to a 1:0 defeat against Spain this week.

The home shirt has a bit of a tank top feel to it. I'm not sure.

It could be a bloody sack for all I care, as long as its worn with pride and passion

Is there any chance of the orange "A" being dropped?
Navy and orange makes me see red.

Well someone just put that on their as they are guessing the sponsor next year. The link is to a shot of them with out a sponsor. We after all have no idea who the next one will be.

A feeble effort if that's what the designers were aiming for. It's missing the diamonds across the center to be a true tank top.:rolleyes:

I think the shirt on Sven's link is better but hey I'm just a poxy fan who is gullible enough to pay £40 for it.

Well the top image is a photo of the shirts, where the thing Sven linked to is a picture of the shirt KUMB thread where loads of people photoshopped a bunch of shirts, which don't exist, so i would not get your hopes up there :)

Lol. Yeah I know. So it's like a concept shirt.

It raises eyebrows about who the club employs to design these shirts whe a fan makes a better job of it.

Actually thats a point i made a couple of times on the KUMB thread. The club employs no one to design the shirts.
Umbro and West Ham have an agreement, and West Ham would give Umbro the shirt requirement, Like Colours, Home - Claret body, main and light blue sleves etc.

Umbro would then give West Ham mock ups, like int the picture of those colours based around that season product lines. Thats why all teams shirts are all basically the same. The current hammers shirt is exactly the same as bolton one for example except for the colours.

OK, I've slept on it.

Unfortunately, I like it a little less today.

[Bilbao2Brooklyn]

I will always like the Fila one from some years back.
