The good folk on Charlton Life with their ear close to the ground have hinted that next season’s Charlton kits will be made by Reebok.
I’m not sure whether there will be other English clubs choosing Reebok but this marks the old English trainer maker’s re-entry back into the manufacturing and supplying of football kits.

Actually it looks as it got dropped in a bowl of gravy, with all those specks over it. Sorry, did I say gravy I meant telescopic imagery and galactical visuals inspired by Greenwich’s Royal Observatory 🛸🔭

The only surprise is how long it took to get to that summation, but the Asmir Begovic to Charlton deal is off.

Castore’s last, but best shirt I would say.

The away kit has a nod to past days with the green and purple stripe running diagonal across the shirt. Castore surely could’ve have been a little more adventurous with it, and I think most of us would rather see the white as the away and the black as the third kit.

“As the club celebrates 30 years since the return to The Valley, the new white away shirt pays tribute to the hard-working volunteers and supporters who helped dig out the origins of the stadium in 1919.
Rising from the shell of an abandoned chalk pit in SE7, an army of volunteers helped dig out the area for the pitch, using the materials to build up makeshift stands in what was already a natural, and so The Valley was born.” (more)

However I do like this new Castore home number, based I believe on the early 1990’s ‘Woolwich shirt.’
