It is though tbf. They bought the name and brand assets out of bankruptcy but the actual company has no real connection with the heritage that they’re claiming.
He’s just being like that because he knows that of course the company had to put a lot of thought into what they did with the kit and his “you've massively overthought it” comment was unnecessarily rude.
I’m very sorry if you think my comment was rude. It was just a throwaway remark, you’re massively overthinking it. Again.
Apology accepted.

Yeah it’s not a bad shirt in and of itself but the more I think about the more it’s a bit of a pisstake eh?

Essentially a copy and paste from two years ago with the badge in a different place. But with a fancy video, song and launch party. All a bit wierd by the club.

No one’s gonna give a sh*t about the shirt in a few weeks but always slightly grating that the club can never seen the quite get this sort of thing right every year.
It’s just braces. We’ve had it lots of times, not just 2 years ago. I’m fine with that.

The problem is it’s not been done very well. The braces are too big, making it look more like stripes. The marking on the shoulder (which I’d like on a plainer shirt) is overkill with the stripes below.

Will reserve opinion on fit, colour and quality until I see it in person, but aesthetically they’ve f*cked it up.
Agreed

There’s too much white too. The white on the Meyba logo and writing, the white border around the crest and the logo and writing.

Maybe the Eastenders intro scene for our 3rd kit?

The kit Looks pish, no originality to it. Just boring. All the hype for this. If they said nothing and released it, that would have been better.

I think the shirt is ok but not so sure about the shorts, but as others have said in a few weeks time we’ll have different things to talk about and hopefully it won’t be ‘where’s our first win coming from’.
It was always gonna be impossible to produce a shirt / kit that everyone would like and wanted to buy.

Some on FB seem to like it and I bet the Club superstore will be heaving later with fans trying to buy it.

And now the link to the "expression of interest form" for women's shirts is closed. Mrs NES refuses to believe that's because so many women have already expressed an interest.

Wait until September Nessy, Hornchurch high street will be packed with women wearing the ‘famous Orient Braces’ :lol: :lol:

You'd like to think someone checking the numbers would eventually realise that zero interest was unlikely & so fix the link. But I mentioned the problem to the shop supervisor when I was in there today, just in case.

Devlin says the third kit will be annouced in three weeks, don't really get that as the season will have already started, teams have to declare shirts, so we will probably already have seen it by then too

He’s changed his tune. What is going on? No women’s shirts. No 3rd kit.

We would've had to submit our kits to the league about two weeks, so it will be known, I'm surprised it hasn't leaked

I'm not saying I agree with it but marketing wise it would almost make sense to wear it next Saturday in the cup

GK shirt looks great, please do better with stock this time Orient

I don't get why they put a white outline around the Eastdil logo on the new home shirt, looks so much sharper just in black

That is actually a nice shirt, I could be tempted when that goes on offer

If you want the home shirt, it's oddly not listed on the site but you can get it here

Last season’s purple was great, and miles better than this. It wasn’t Puma’s fault that the Club failed to anticipate the demand.

The purple kit was epic, agree a straight remake under Meyba would've been the ideal but I like that light blue and grid design. Surely no excuse this year with new kit manufacturer being more flexible

Wonder what reaction would've been like if Meyba had done something like this for the Home...
