Sneak preview This is the shoulder of the shirt all the best dressed football fans will be wearing around Leyton, Walsall, Hartlepool and their like this winter. The OS claim they will be giving us a little bit more of the kit leading up to it's debut at Park View Road next Wednesday in the Addicks first pre-season friendly.

So, what can we see of it? Well it has a collar, which is nice, it looks slightly more burgundy than red, which worries me but then again one would need to look at the whole jersey from a little distance to get a true look and it is made by Joma, their last year of the manufacturing contract.

It appears to have a white bar down the side of the shirt and we are told there will be white shorts and red and white socks - all good. There is no sign of a sponsor, perhaps if one can't be found we can adorn the name of Demelza House on our shirts, or some such good cause.

This is the 3rd home shirt in four seasons, and the new away one (yellow apparently) adds to the white, black and seahorse blue (or whatever it was called) all produced in the last couple of years. Of course if we replace Joma next summer, then expect a couple of more new kits in a year's time.  ¶ 14:04
