I like both traditional and "modern" designs, but I quite like these. I'm not convinced about the colour of the away shirt (but that's purely a personal preference) but it will no doubt sell well. Purple is the new Black and all that.

Will certainly be buying both (or asking for them as presents because I'm skint) as I collect our shirts, but I'll reserve judgement on whether I wear the away shirt or not until I see it in the flesh.

absolutely correct. whatever the club do they arent going to make everyone happy all the time.

The designs I don't really care either way. A bit dull and tacky as usual from Kooga. The thing that irritates me are the absurd collars (lack of). Unless you have a Rugby Players phsyique, you're going to look a muppet with a neck like that.

Is it just me who finds it odd that JCT600 are on the front of the shirt twice?

Lends even more weight to the idea that they'd originally pulled out of being the main shirt sponsor in favour of being a smaller one, but then changed their minds.

it's been like that for the last few seasons mate, it's nothing new.

Really? Shows how observant I've been.....

I get all that and I also have no way of arguing over the numbers because I just don't know.

I would really have thought that a RAB V would have been ideal for this relaunching of the club. You're right about minor tweaks giving no incentive to buy but it would have been the first one since 2006 (I don't count last year) and I just suspect would have sold more.

Again, almost every other club in SL manages to keep traditional on their home shirt while leaving the experiments to their away shirt. If it really does make financial sense to go bold on the home shirt then why does nobody else? (The wealthy financial backer argument makes no sense - these are businesses, not just reckless vanity projects.)

It's also excellent that the club will have both shirts on sale BEFORE Xmas. I've always felt that the club was missing a trick by only releasing the away shirt in Dec then the Home shirt in Jan. Hopefully they've ordered a decent number of both shirts in a good range of sizes to cover demand. I would imagine that people who've saved so much money on their season ticket would be tempted to buy a new Bulls shirt to go with it.

I know I'll be buying my first new shirt since, I'm not sure actually. It's the last home shirt to have RAB hoops, 2007?

Yep, 2008 and 2009 shared a home shirt, the one Beaver is scoring in above on the banner

Not keen on the home one, but it's not offensive to the spirit or anything. I like the design burt the mismatching sleves are off putting. The away shirt would be perfect if not for the weird bit of black at the collar.

Seemingly not,unless you got in quick. From the Bulls shop:
"Pre orders now been taken."

How did they all know?

We get purple but no green

Only messing, happy with the away shirt and the home shirt is different.
