Some nice ones on this site

Do you think the O’s would ever play in blue again ?

Hard to say.
I suppose that if we had a new owner who decided on a complete 'rebrand' - as per Cardiff City going from blue to red in 2012 - such a thing might happen.

Many on here liked the 'Somme' kit that we wore this season. I liked it too but, it had no sponsorship on the front of the shirt so it looked great. If we had to wear that with a sponsors name all over the 'V', I think that it would look awful.

I’ll stick with mainly red and hope I never see pink worn as the home strip. Though I still think the braces kit is possibly the best ever.

Like the Bravo kit, which wasn’t so bad. Never bought an Os shirt with a sponsor and never will. Prior to getting the Somme kit earlier this season the last Os shirt I bought was circa 1980 manufactured by adidas.

Wonder what next season's 4th kit will be, given it will have a historic theme. Hoping for the braces rather than blue shirt though. The braces top just doesn't look right with a sponsor on, so being the 4th shirt would be ideal.

I still have the braces kit from back around 2004, someone remarked the other day that’s a proper kit. He supports spurs as well.

Only as an away kit . After being established for all these years red will always be our home kit . Since we're changing kit supplier , I wonder what our new kit design will look like . Has anybody been given any clues on this .

IMO, the braces kit is the iconic Orient kit and my all time favourite .

I'm hoping New Balance will be making allowances for the heavier boned Orient fan.

I like the idea of a red shirt with a slightly darker red V.

I didn’t mind the 2013/14 home and away kit but IMO they have been absolute pants since then

Braces (though ideally red stripes on right rather than your avatar) would be better for the historical 4th kit next season. Looks so much better without a sponsor.
