Blue is better.
No need for the stick on badge on that, the original version would have been good especially on the shorts.
Wonder what the other tone of colour will be on the white kit. Had to chuckle about the comment of the home kit looking like being run over by a tractor, couldn't see it at first, now can't unsee it.

It's horrific.
The worst thing about the kits under Bazzas reign was the lack of consistency. A randomly designed red shirt from year to year, giving us no identity. This is following the exact same path. Although I accept the blue doesn't look as awful as the red and f*cking maroon home one.

To be fair, the quality was also a massive issue under Bazza with the orient leisure in house designs. I hope that won't be the case with these but the flappy arms and the tight neck line ain't encouraging.

The collars are horrible. On the concept kit they looked great. Overall, I won’t be wearing it in Benidorm this year.

I think the design is meant to be chevron, but that's what you get when you farm the stitching out to slave labour.

How many points do we lose or win depending on what the kit looks like?

Blue kit looks good as well. Not sure I would buy either, but think they are far better than I originally expected when I saw the training kit.
I like New Balance running shirts so if these have the same sort of fit and would be good for running in then I'll probably buy one.

Boring, boring.. Red shirts, red shorts, red socks, so unimaginative! What about a bit of contrast for a change?
The blue outfit looks much better even though that's all one colour too.

The shirt is OK, not great, but not horrible either.

Reminds me a tiny bit of the 88-89 shirt .
That had the self diagonal stripe .
The patch badge will at least not disintegrate in washing machines so at least thats good.
Just looked at Historic kits & had a white background from 2002 - 2006 .
Really dont see why there is such a gripe about it.

Actually quite like after looking for a minute, wasn't keen at first. Whatever you think can't say it's not unique.

Good grief. Looks like they've been run over by a tractor.

Dan Happe is going to look like a maypole in that.
Agree if the Chevrons were uniform would look better.

They had the chance to give us a good identity and they have royally fcuked it up. The red one looks like a road traffic accident.

138 years of Football in East London & you think the new kit stops us from having a "GOOD IDENTITY " .
C'mon Bl'adder , sort yourself out !

Irrelevant....it's simply called debating and giving opinions.

No, that's just a childish response instead of addressing the point.
I'm genuinely interested in why anyone who buys it has more money than sense. Perhaps you can explain?

Disagree. A chevron is our identity. This is just a different take on it, and as usual with every single kit some will like it and some won't.
I hope every new kit release includes some form of chevron theme.

Seems like a token effort to bring back the Chevron - but it’s failed . Why not have a White Chevron on both kits - it would be more classy than this muddle IMO.

It would have been better had the club not pretended it was anything to do with tradition.... these patterns don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the other kits. Judged on their own, they are OK but the blue colours work much better than the red.
A clean white chevron on red shirt could look really good for next year, like a reverse of the commemorative kit. Place the club badge on the white chevron and we don't need a stick-on and then the badge can be seen clearly, for those who have suddenly developed colour-blindness.
Sure it won't be long before someone offers a free conversion service: get this season's Leyton Orient shirt for free by just bringing last season's one to us and we'll drive a muddy tractor over it.
