NEW KIT LAUNCH 11AM

[Rich Tea Wellin]

I think I quite like it. Need to see up close though.

Yeah fit looks pretty poor on the photos, interesting to see in person

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Actually the braces on the shorts dropping before the bottom of the short is weird

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Not time Aaron actually wears it?

[BiggsyMalone]

How did they manage to f*** a braces kit up sp badly. Jesus f*cking christ

I too was shockinged. Doesn't even look red either.

[Hoover Attack]

Look really flappy as well. El Miz looks like he’s starting first day at primary school.

[Hoover Attack]

Wonder how they drew straws to work out who had to model that? Players injured the most last season perhaps?

[Hoover Attack]

Poor Aaron walking around a boozer in full kit amongst a load of peed up Orient fans.

It's interesting El Miz is there in a brewery but won't wear the rainbow stuff..

[BiggsyMalone]

Orient getting an alcoholic and a muslim to go to a brewery to advertise the kit is next level sh*t. How did the club get that so wrong?

[RedDwarf 1881]

I love it . I’ll be buying it next week

[Long slender neck]

Basically the same as the last home braces shirt only two years ago

[BiggsyMalone]

I love it . I’ll be buying it next week

Of course. You and E10quence will be front of the queue

[Houdini]

The shorts make it look like a vicars robe ffs

[Cheshunto]

Looks very similar to the kit we had the season before last,
Shirt looks ok………the shorts though mmmmmmm

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Basically the same as the last home braces shirt only two years ago

Yeah it’s not a bad shirt in and of itself but the more I think about the more it’s a bit of a pisstake eh?

Essentially a copy and paste from two years ago with the badge in a different place. But with a fancy video, song and launch party. All a bit wierd by the club.

No one’s gonna give a sh*t about the shirt in a few weeks but always slightly grating that the club can never seen the quite get this sort of thing right every year.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Awkward

[E10quence]

Meh. Again.

The event will have been Meyba’s (presumably promoting the kit - including launching it - was part of the package which won them the deal).

Orient are the only EFL club Meyba currently produce. How they managed to oust a giant like Puma is interesting - I’d love to know what their pitch was. With this context in mind, it explains the choice of design. As a new brand, in a new market, with their first EFL contract they have the choice to either go bold and totally change it up or keep it conservative and don’t rock the boat too much.

Given the truism that you won’t ever please all fans, ever I suppose they basically had to calculate if the risk of going bold and f*cking it up was worse than keeping it same-y and having people moan that it’s underwhelming.

The braces on the shorts is clearly something they’ve added as a low risk “something different”.

The fact is that this will either be Meyba’s one and only foray into the English market or it’ll be the first kit of a brand who grow into the market over the next few years to challenge the better known names.

Don’t disagree but surely the club has final say on shirt design?

Considering we were always led to believe that we were restricted in our design options by bigger firms as we had to fit in with templates, to then bring out basically the same design puma made for us 2 seasons ago is a bit strange.

The shirt is a hell of a lot better than last seasons and most seasons in the last ten years but expected a bit more and I’d assume quality is lower and already stating that there might not be womens fit shirts either so limited options for fans at the same price point

Quality is definitely lower. The stitching, in particular, is really poor in places - reminiscent of the cheap knock-off kits you can get from China/Thailand.

Still hoping for something a bit different/interesting from the elusive Third Kit.

The colour of the kit seems to have been inspired by rich tea wellens new colour

They said they were going to go retro and have gone with one braces and one chevron shirt, the two classic Orient kits.

It’s nothing more than that. You’ve massively overthought it.

It’s just braces. We’ve had it lots of times, not just 2 years ago. I’m fine with that.

The problem is it’s not been done very well. The braces are too big, making it look more like stripes. The marking on the shoulder (which I’d like on a plainer shirt) is overkill with the stripes below.

Will reserve opinion on fit, colour and quality until I see it in person, but aesthetically they’ve f*cked it up.

[Hoover Attack]

The lack of a women’s kit on launch is embarrassing. A massive backward step.
