What is everyone's views of new kits? I prefer the home kit, as I've always liked the stripes. Not sure about the white kit 🤔 Bit messy and orange not look good on white. Third kit: never been keen on black kits, always preferred the orange kit, as bright colours good for when cycling.

I'd probably say the opposite - the home one is my least favourite as it basically looks like last year's kit but with a paint splodge over the Hex logo and the OLBG logo in its place.

White one actually looks nicer than I thought it would and I'm a big fan of the black one. Always wanted us to have a black kit so I am glad that we are now finally allowed. I will say that I think red trim would look nicer than orange on it though.

Glad we have the stripes back at home, the red splodge is so the sponsor stands out - fair enough IMO as they are pumping a lot of money in apparently

The 'Palace one' 😉 is my personal favourite for obvious reasons, I just hope it gets worn a lot at away games

The black one will no doubt be a big seller amongst fans of a 'fuller figure' and that's not a reference to Barry! 🤣 Apparently it's a flattering colour (not looking at anyone in particular)

The home strip is probably my least favourite of the three although it’s still quite decent. The black is lovely . I’m not a shirt wearer, prefer the training gear but I am tempted to get the black one

Home kit could of been a lot nicer imo. More prominent stripes would of been good.The away and third kits are nice, can see the black being worn a fair bit

The home kit is an improvement on last seasons. As last season’s anniversary kit was terrible, it looked like a training t shirt more than a home shirt. 

 

In the design department there should be no negotiation around the red and white stripes. You don’t change your basic design as a club of your home kit. 

 

They should have gone back to orange for the away kit in my opinion. 

 

For the third kit a white would have been best. I didn’t even know you were allowed to wear black due to clashes with referees? Many leagues don’t allow it. 

Our best home and away kit designs were our first and second seasons in the national league premier. 

Last season and the coming season definitely have been a downgrade.

I'm glad we have gone back to stripes, but would prefer it without the paint spillage. I also have a preference for the "Palace" away kit, and still prefer last season's version to the new one, which is a bit messy I agree but it may grow on me. Or I will grow in it perhaps.  Never been a fan of the orange kit and the new black one is very smart.  But agree that a red/white trim would be better than orange. I guess the orange comes from the sponsors - again, not something I am keen on - the Saudis turning every available colour green for example. Hope the club gets plenty in this year - in larger sizes too!

Interesting point about black kits and refs - I know we see it in the Prem/EFL and the refs change their colours accordingly - but what about the National League etc? Anyone know? We must have done our research on this.

I’m pretty sure Borehamwood wore a black strip when they came to us last August.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Having seen the white alternative shirt last night in the flesh so to speak. I must say  the photo shoot didn't do it justice. 

It's growing on me.
