Oh no, Oranje - New 12/13 kits impressions - merged

[Oiseau]

At first I was very happy about it but now I'm not so sure... I really dislike that neckline :( The tight polo-neck is quite unflattering. It might be have been better in just orange and black rather than orange, black and white. Really like the fit, though!

I like it. Nice cut to make you fatties out there look slimmer (see the middle black part) and it'll look good as a full kit ont he players. I don't wear them, prefer the retro collection, so i'm not too bothered, but I think overall it's OK. Only an away kit. Will definitely buy the orange socks for some five a side though.

On another note, we had black shorts this year. We only wore them once or twice, so don't read too much into their availability on the website.

It doesn't look as tight as previous years, but I dont think I will be getting one.

Black shorts would have looked better I think.

Will be interesting to see it 'in the flesh'

[Legate21]

I quite like it, especially the long sleeve. Would definitely have been better all round kit with black shorts and orange/black socks though.

Like it,lets hope it fit's "real people"

How on earth can you fail so miserably by making a Dutch inspired 'Oranje' kit into a bloody Wolves/Barnet gold one? Just keep it simple with a genuine orange colour and you're set for a classic shirt.

Kappa out!

This is exactly why I invested in a top cotton quality TOFFS 1950'ies Johnny Haynes Fulham vintage shirt some years ago.

Not only do I avoid the annual shirt shenanigans and save money, but it looks handsome and is of great quality. Even the ladies like it and many a compliment have been had on non-Fulham related events. Love the long sleeves.

Yes exactly. Should I go for a XL like I normally do As I did with the last elasticated white kappa shirt(Good for using as a skintight cycling shirt, but football forget it) Or should I go XXL for the first time ever?

+1! - Love mine, see my profile pic.

Also, re the size issue, I know it's annoying that the kits might not be flattering to the more portly average man, but first and foremost it needs to be made for the players benefit, not ours. Perhaps a range of same design t-shirts could be released, but then i'd wonder if people would buy them as they wouldn't be actual replica's

OMG, looks like we'll have 11 orange smarties running round the pitch.  I wonder if they'll start selling orange smarties in the club shop?

[The King]

Looks brilliant to this point. If only it was all orange with white details.

[Mr_Moon]

I really liked our away kit this year. Looked proper classy.

[ElissonSnygg]

When is the home shirt available for preview?

When is the home shirt available for preview?

After this shocker, do you look forward to that moment?

[Steve_orino]

I looks much better long sleeved.

Agreed - the l/s is the better shirt.

Kind of underwhelmed with the kit - just too much going on...was really hoping for a nice classy look.  Nike could have acheived that - bring them back?

I do look forward for something better than this asap.

It's really horrible though, isn't it?! Here's to hoping we get rid of kappa next season, the Nike, Puma and Adidas kits were all a class above them. No one really wants to buy these though surely?

[Maidstone Lee]

I honestly was looking forward to this one but it's a bit of a naff design in my opinion. Was hoping for a plain orange shirt like the dutch national teams but the black sleeves make it look a bit cheap. Would like to see us go back to Nike or Adidas soon.

I agree with every word in this post. I bought the 1980s retro shirt when I was at the Cottage, but I'll buy no "current kit" until Kappa is dead and gone.
