Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Yeah I agree, yuck! I didn't realise that leyton orient supporters club had a football kit with a different badge to the actual club!!

Some of the new stock being modelled on Twitter

Imo those are dull and the badge looks awful

Get Craig clay to model them ffs

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

I hope the rest of the stock is not like this or I definitely won’t be visiting the shop

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

My wife went to buy a Mug last season was told they where £9 she got one made online for £6
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.

Bring back Admiral

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.

Hope they’ve got some of the Nike training kit left on sale.

I’m still waiting for a Danny Macklin eureka moment
Look cheap and tacky

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.

Huh

Washes off

I’ve never had that problem

Maybe he stone washes with London Brick

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.

Looks more like a cricket team shirt logo
Macklins last enterprise

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

Best since the 1970s. So good I got two.

Even the Avec stuff looks better than that.

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!
