From the looks of them, I should save £100 next season. Badge looks wrong.

It all looks a bit cheap and basic eh?

and that’s the gear they’ve chosen to preview the rest of range with.

Hopefully the kits a bit better

Not just Orient I’ve always felt football teams shirts shorts hoodies etc are just a complete and utter rip off

Yeah, the badge looks like an afterthought really, like a budget version of the kit. The Nike ones looked better even though they were generic templates.

Maybe we are too small to justify it. Liverpool don't have a stick-on badge on their training kits.

I don't mind the badge. Printing a red badge on a red kit always seemed daft to me.

Danny Macklin, CEO, commented, “We are delighted to launch a taster of our range of New Balance training and leisurewear. When working on the designs we wanted to bring the uniqueness of the club crest to the forefront and have placed it on a white background to help achieve that.

He commented on Twitter that the badge was his decision because the 'current version easily washes off'.

I can't ever recall that being a thing.

Also that it is 'lost' when red on red.

Haven't we been red on red for about 2 decades now (the only time we were not was with the Matchroom/Pokermillion, and the badge was not good then as well).

The best shirt for me in recent times was the Avec chevron one last season, which I think got universal approval. That was red on red as well.

More likely to have AVEC training gear. Most of the Nike kit seems to have gone

Useful. I often wondered what the crest looked like. Now I can see it. Didn’t realise it was so tacky.

The recent shirt badges do look very cheap, nothing like the quality of the sewn-in ones from a few years back. Not sure placing the badge on a splodge of white background is the answer though.

I always liked the simple dragon (pre-Wyvern) on the 70s red shirt. Not sure why the whole crest has to be on a shirt. In 1970s, Arsenal had a cannon, Chelsea had a lion, Spurs had a cock, Wolves had a wolf, Liverpool had a bird and dirty Leeds had a fcuking smiley face!
