    Check it out on the offal.

    To me, totally bland and boring. Looks like a Manc jersey.

    Definitely bland, but at least not actively offensive.

    I do not like the light blue kits. I was hoping for a more royal blue look. I will be getting the away kit and that is all this season. I am not too fond of the home and third kits.

    It's OK. I like it more than the away kit which just looks cheesy to me. I am a fan of the home kit, very basic but classy (You stay classy Fulham).

    Nice Ron Burgundy quote!!

    Agree, Home Whites are very understated in a classy way.

    The away strip is growing me a little, but that is not on my list of must haves. Home strip is.

    3rd strip, ha-ha-ha-ha........ha-ha-ha-ha...........not funny.

    Before I order my very first shirt, has anyone bought one of the new ones this year and can tell me about the size? Do I need to order a size up like I read about last year's?

    Thanks in advance.

    It'll take some time to get used to that ManC / Tar Heel blue jersey, but that home kit looks real good on me. I was holding out for the away kit, but my wife surprised me for my birthday with the home. I've gotten several commits on the trip to NYC this week.

    I like all 3 kits. They are not overly fancy and junked up. Each are classy. Love Nike's nostalgic and minimalist approach to their current kit designs.

    Re: RE: 3rd Strip

    Psand, first, congratulations, I am jealous. Must work the birthday angle myself (beginning of September). Second, how does it fit? Is it Europena style, meaning us Americans should order up a size?

    I usually get an XXL, because I like a roomy XL fit. It is usually a tad bit bigger than I would prefer, but a better fit for my liking than an XL. Anyone relate?

    Timmyg... where on Earth did you find that shirt? It is awful.

    The third strip isn't bad at all. Nike has done a great job with Fulham's line this season and I will definitely purchase the home shirt. The other two... ehhh not willing to pony up the money for them yet.

    I really like the third kit, especially the semi-collar on it.

    One must remember that the light-blue is actually a traditional Fulham color as can be found in the ‘old Fulham badge’.

    I agree with AmericanMike on this one - I love the semi-collar. That's the kind of collar I wish the home kit had.

    Not a huge fan of the baby blue color, but I may be convinced to buy it for my gf. She's a up and coming FFC fan and would go for the "girly" color.

    Okay, Mike. Saying light blue is in that badge is a bit of a stretch. If anything, based on that badge, a Reading style blue hoops 3rd kit has justification. Or perhaps a red X.

    I am not anti-light blue though. Have the anniversary kit from a few years back, and it is one of my favorites.

    Semi-collars, at first blush, seem a bit too Arsey.

    PCB - the shirt isn't European styled in size. I usually get a large and it was the right size. The sleeves are just right and not hanging past my elbows. So I'd stick with your usual size you get and you better get started on that birthday wish list....

    Good to know. Sounds like an XL may do the trick. However, my trepidation over the cost and time involved in sending anything back to Europe may get the best of me, and I'll probably err on the side of a little too big.

    Any XL wearers out there get the new shirt yet?!?!

    Appreciate your help psand, but L and M wearers wouldn't understand.
    It's an XL thang.

    Like the collar not the color. Just like when you have kids, certain names remind you of people you can't stand so you stay away from them. Out here in Pac-10 country Baby blue reminds me of UCLA. Will be getting the retro home kit.

    Maybe a better example of "light" blue the crest...

    ...and the "hoops" shown on the previous crest's shield are actually supposed to be waves, as shown on this one...if I recall correctly.
