When's it officially out ?

Briscoe?

As already mentioned it's likely JJB is only one of several models. However if I was Abigail Furniss or whoever decides these things, when it's officially launched I'd only release images of him, just to wind up Bywater.

**Sorting through photo-shoot results**

"Hmmm, Sinfields nose or JJB's beard..."

That about sums it up. Can't believe what i'm reading here. The season can't start soon enough...

At a guess the Saturday before the Hull KR game.

Doesn't wind me up - I am only expressing an opinion not much else to talk about right now. Let's see who they have on the posters

I won't be buying one even if Hally Berry was modelling it

Much more interested in the financials for last year tbh - especially the income statement!!

Maybe they ended up going for a pretty boy instead.......Ablett???

Would need to see the shirt itself but on first glance from that twitter photo, the inclusion of pastel shading which resides somewhere in between light ultramarine and cobalt turquoise could definitely be considered a turn-on in a homoerotic sense.

I'd therefore expect the shirt to sell very well among Rhinos fans, and particularly so among those who also love to wear spandex.

Are you suggesting that Leeds have a higher than average proportion of gay supporters, and that this shirt is designed to sell to gay supporters? Fascinating insight, and a shrewd piece of marketing from the club if true. Although I'm not convinced gay people have different colour preferences to people of other sexual orientations. I've read a few things on colours and the emotional (in theis case sexual) responses they can elicit, but it's always felt a bit like quack psychology to me. It's an interesting theory though. Perhaps you could elaborate?

Its not the shirt that matters but whats inside it.

Nah, the Rhinos have signed a £20m deal with Intel to sponsor the inside of the shirt.

Maybe....if person considering it is suffering from sexual repression and the first thought he has when seeing a colour is of the homoerotic variety.

I like it.
