I reckon they should have it so both home and away shirts last two years but stagger the change so one year its a new home shirt the following year new away shirt.

I buy a replica shirt or polo shirt if I like the design & the colour(s).
In some years I've bought the home shirt, in others I've bought the away shirt & occasionally bought both with the odd testimonial shirt thrown in if I like the player & the shirt.
In other years I've not bought any.
It's a (relatively) free world & I exercise choice.
But I do look forward to the kit launches just to see what they look like.
I don't care what anybody else does, that's up to them.

I like annual kit launches. I might buy a shirt, I might not (and I probably wear them more now I'm pretty much guaranteed to be the only person in town who has one so I don't feel like such a sheep!). But either way, it gives us something to talk about.

A lot of objections flow from people being unable to say no to their kids. Which would only manifest itself somewhere else if it wasn't over rugby shirts. It's relatively easy not to buy one if you don't want to.

This whole argument of having kits that come out every two years bores me to death. You dont have to bloody buy them you know! This argument about pressure being put on parents by children is also rubbish, if your kids cant understand the justification then they need to be taught manners. If your an adult then you need to grow up.

I'll use myself as an example, I have a bloody good job that if so required I could buy every home/away/testimonial/charity shirt they ever released. Do I? No do i hell. When a new shirt comes along that i actually like and know I'll wear regularly I'll get one. In the 2014 season I bought the away shirt (first new shirt i've bought in probably 3 years) and then bought the tour de france charity shirt as they were good looking shirts. Basically what im trying to say is if you're daft enough to part with your hard earned on every new shirt then you deserved to be milked by the club

Fair enough.

I tend to not bother with the shirts anyway so it don't really bother me either way, always got one for xmas as a youth but only the odd polo shirt for me these days.

I would probably be tempted to invest if they brought out a heritage shirt from time to time like they do in the NRL, along with a round of fixtures every year, which i think is a great idea to keep a link to the days pre SL. Parade club greats from either side before KO.Really can't see why this hasn't happened yet

So long as nothing like those extremely horrible Marvel NRL shirts appears. Ever. Ever. Again.

Maybe they could release SL 'easter egg' tops next season?

Leeds could have a 'Yorkie easter egg' themed top as the colours are similar. Likes of Sts and Cas could have like Kit Kat and Crunchie shirts respectively.

Or something?

Plenty of gimmicks out there that could be taken up to match with the colour schemes of individual teams!

Or full-shirt prints of renaissance paintings depicting scenes from the Easter story? That'd be beautiful.

12 teams next year. Each one "adopts" a disciple.

Seeing as we're the 'bad guy' of the league, I suppose Wigan will have to adopt Judas.

Ha ha.

Might as well. It'll play nicely with Flower's new pariah status.

No Harris is at Salford now...


Wigan can be Bartholomew. Of whom Jesus said "he has no guile".

You may not have liked them but they were pretty darn popular. I know a few people in Nottingham who have no connection to RL who bought them. That's the sort of exposure the game needs

I buy atleast the home shirt every season. Because I want to. I bought the NQ Cowboys marvel shirt. Because I liked it and I wanted to. Do I do what people think I should do because they think they know best? No. I do what I want to do. If they think Im being milked by the club then milk away Leeds.

You are Ryan Bailey and I claim my £5.
