Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jumps into pram does an NRC and jumps out again)...

Not just that bloody logo, but I don't like the shirt design in general. It is the same design as the photo that was floating around earlier this year.

Thought I'd wait and see what the away kit looks like but it's not being released until July 26?! What's that all about?

Anyway, the away kit is white so I don't see how that logo's going to work on the front. Unless they outline it or something similarly ugly.

I'm really torn up over this as I want to buy a new shirt to suport the new regime, but I don't like the look of the shirt.

Maybe I'll buy some leisure wear instead. :D

(bloody cheek, me lady just told me that I'm getting emasculated all because I've written a whole paragraph over a piece of clothing... to which I informed her that it is a West Ham United shirt and NOT a piece of clothing. Plus I'm very emasculine... :confused: )

Its the leisure wear that has me woried.

I think the shirt looks OK. It'll look even better when someone wearing it is holding up a trophy

True that.

THey managed with our last white shirt. They will just change the colour of the logo to dark blue or something.

I ordered one of those blue training tops as well. I thought it looked alright, as does the home top. Not brilliant but alright.

I remember when someone posted a preview of the first Reebok home top on the Soccernet boards, one reply said 'it's got Nationwide written all over it'!! We were never that keen on the Reebok one but it grew on us to a certain extent and I still bought a few.

I think this one will grow on me more than the Reebok. I certainly hope so after shelling out £40!!:o

I don't know what kind of company XL is, but really, can it be any worse than a website for the unemployed?

XL is a cheap airline holiday company, mainly flying to destinations in Europe, as for the shirt itself, hmmm, I dunno, I won't get one as I wear small to medium, might look ok on someone larger though.

I'm 6' 5" and about 285 ellbees.
I'm glad to see something in an XXL and/or XXXL. Does anyone know how Umbro stuff runs size wise?

Speaking of cheap European airlines, I flew EasyJet last year and it was a new education for me.

I'd never been on a cross-continental plane ride that cost less than a trip to a neighbor island.

Especially one with open seating.

Nor had I ever had to try to decipher a scouse stewardess' directives over a faulty speaker system.

Curiously, the humor of it all is lost when I play it back on video. Odd.
