These are the new West Ham United home and away kits for the 2011/12 English Championship season manufactured by Macron.
The new home shirt in the is predominantly claret with light blues sleeves, the shirt also features a slight gold trim around the shoulders in the seems and on the 'Hammers' writing on the back of the collar. The collar style also changes from the previous season with a move from a fold over look to a round neck in a style similar to those worn in the 60's by the great Bobby Moore.
The away kit is all light blue for the new season with two bars of claret across the stomach of the shirt. The designs of the two shirts elsewhere is pretty much exactly the same.
The shirts will be revealed officially by the club on the 22nd of June.

.....COME ON YOU IRONS....
No, i suppose what he means is the colour shade/depth.
I agree, macron sucks. Oh and west sham suck too. MUHAHAHAHAHA!! Enjoy life in the 2nd division you LOSERS!
Come On You Spurs
First it is not the second division, that was disbanded years ago when the leagues were reformed into Championship etc.
Secondly, Macron make quality kits. I have several of their products, 3 Napoli shirts, 2 Braga and Cagliari. I have no complaints, I like their designs and they are not garish.
Just because it doesnt have umbro, 3 stripes or a swoosh doesnt make it a poor kit. These kits are very, very nice.
I bet you've supported Spurs since they got into the champions league
censored off you censoredhead
no the west ham fans chose it. whufc gave a competition on designs and they pick the best ones
Absolutely agree. I just got last season's away shirt in the mail the other day, and I think it looks great. The details are incredible, I think it's actually better than most Nike / Adidas kits.
I really like these two a lot as well. I like that they moved the "Macron guy" to the shoulder, as it moved the sleeve badges up on last season's.
actually macron is overrated
ok, first before you say anything about kit designs take a look at your kits. 'ive seen ryman league kits designed better. they look like someone got travel sick a vomited on them. secondly, dont get too excited bout playing us, cos we most probs wont even be allowed to attend due to the violence that occurred during your last visit to west ham. and finally dont expect to win either games against us, cos although you are now seen as a good championship team, you wont get any points against us. even thought the championship is a rather difficult league to start with lol well go get censored and hide lol
Would have liked to see claret shorts on the away kit with the blue top.
& Should have kept the collar from last years home shirt I think, but instead been replaced by the typical tee collar instead. :(

The Hammers writing is what I dislike most, just the irons crossed would have looked nicer, but that does not take away from a fine kit.
The away is classic. Its a shame the two bands have been moved for the SBOBET logo and (I presume) the Hoops dont extend onto the back of the shirt, but its nice anyhow.
Two really good shirts here.
but to be honest,Macron's designs are far better comparable to puma's,errea's,joma's etc
Especially the yellow line at the clavicles make it.
And yes, it seems slightly modelled on the FILA kit when WHU were last down, but it's better.
Has anybody seen the new Shewall, sorry Millwall, Gay in the Village kit yet?
Shows how unmemorable so many of the other kits were.
Err.... theres not going to be a colour clash with Claret and royal blue or sky blue, so theres no problem with most of the teams, and against Millwall, they can always wear last seasons change kit.
on your understanding Arsenal will struggle for a kit to wear away to the likes of Chelsea, everton, mancity, wigan, blackburn and qpr, based on their new blue/sky blue away kit
are you a complete mong?
The away kit oozes West Ham.
Wow you have actually just gone full retard. i'll point out that out of all those teams only coventry have sky blue kits therefore they'd wear the home shirt where the overriding colour of claret would make the distinction. Burnley being the only team to wear claret (with hints of blue obv) the away kit would be worn where the distinction would still be more than easy. As for the rest all being dark blue i really dont see how anyone could construe it as a problem. It would be like me saying oh your arsenal kit is red like man U and your away kit is white like the little bit of trim on their kit, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?!?! really, think before making such cretinous points, and if we do come across a team that we do have a problem with clashing colours, i'm sure it would not be exactly a logistical nightmare for last seasons away shirt to be employed as a 'third Kit' just as so many other teams do....
Both of these kits are nice though, so if our's are this tidy I wont hesitate to buy one.
Macron are always improving and in my opinion are already better than some of the lesser kit manufacturers that have been around for years (Lotto, Kappa, Errea - are they all Italian as well? CBA looking it up).
Their only downfall is the massive logo they put on the sleeves, or in this case, the shoulder, but I think their kits have a lot of individuality and they don't seem to use solely templates.
Kudos for holding their own I say.
Now I've said all that just watch our kit be this same template
Actually, we finished in the top half (12th out of 24 teams)
SE YA IN LEAGUE 1 ALONG WITH FRANCHISE FC, HAMMERED FANS
Same applies to the club
As soon as I saw the teaser on the west ham site i knew they would look like this. Not disappointed but not impressed either.
Someone give us a new kit!
Same here. Both shirts are mint.
One of the best ones I've seen so far, right after the jerseys Adidas made for Chelsea and Milan (I prefer red, but the model of the jersey Adidas is giving Chelsea is really awesome).
