Oh dear!

It looks like someone’s spilt cherryade over last years kit..

"The distinctive new design is a break from tradition and features shaded cherry-to-white irregular hoops. It also incorporates white flashes over the chest and hips which are designed to accentuate the shoulders and shrink the waist making the Warriors look even bigger and more fearsome than before."

You're taking the pi$$?!

Doing it is one thing... telling the world that what you've done is another!

So it's the right colour then. But that is awful, up there with quins away shirt last year.

Did nobody realise that "Shaded cherry-to-white" would produce pink??

Looking fierce, girlfriend...

or that producing a kit which is "designed to accentuate the shoulders and shrink the waist making the Warriors look even bigger and more fearsome than before" might've worked had they not made it pink.

I can see what they've tried to do in theory... but in practice what they've actually done is shrink the hips and dress them in pink.

You are right it is mostly pink, it looks like they have left last years Wigan shirt in the wash with a non-colour fast red sock!

Terrible shirt

it looks like the dye has run in the wesh

There are 3 major errors...

1) From a "pi$$ taking" point of view. They've told us about the "looking fearsome" thing. You can't do that. It's like wearing one of those hold-all things to make you look good for a party, then spending the whole party telling everyone you're wearing it. Pointless.

2) From a financial point of view. All they had to do was make something even remotely sell-able. Shirt revenue would've been up anyway the year after they won it. All they had to do was make a traditional Cherry & White hoops, stick the Champions patch on the arm and watch them fly off the shelves.

3) From a fan happiness point of view. The World Club Challenge is on the world stage, and they have to turn up dressed in pink. If they go on to win, all the photos of them holding the trophy up are in a pink kit. Some idiot somewhere has ruined the history books.

Whoever approved that particular kit, for this particular post championship winning season is a silly, silly man.
