If the kits are United

Not too sure about the kits for next season. Call me an old git, but the home shirt should always have light blue sleeves (rather than cuffs) and a light blue trim on the collar. The new home shirt is basically claret and looks too much like a Hearts shirt for my liking. 

While the away kit is dark blue (or to give it the full marketing speak, it's 'dark teal'). Could the dark teal design be preparing us for a blue carpet at the London Stadium — the LLDC has previously insisted on this colour rather than claret? The away kit looks more like an old Wimbledon shirt. While it's compounded by yellow socks — which have no link to any West Ham colours. Is this some kind of popcorn tie-in? We should be playing away in light blue or white. Still, no doubt we'll get used to it. 

The best kit of recent years was the most traditional, that worn for the last season at the Boleyn. Better news is that Trevor Brooking and Billy Bonds have been wheeled out to don the kits and look like they could still do a job for the boys in claret, dark teal, yellow and blue.
