Thought it looked really smart on yesterday (Whitehead was wearing it when I got there).

Like the slimming lines on it especially.

Noticed we've got a new shirt sponsor: Greenwoods. Judging by the comments from some of the lads on here the 200 quid gift voucher you can win in the raffle will come in handy for some of 'em. Think of all the high waisted Farah slacks you can buy with that!

Tbh i liked the collar on the previous jersey

For once I won't get on my hight horse about the new shirt and will refrain from getting all hot under the collar.

My calm take on the new effort is that it is yet another monstrosity from A-level design students that Kooga have holed up in their office churning out jokes instead of kits for Rugby League clubs too stupid to sign a deal with a half decent company.

Yes, I lied.

It's alright, neither offensive or making me go.. wow I need to get myself one of those. I usually buy at least 1 of the shirts, but I'll hold on until I have seen the away effort. I also hope the quality is a little better than last year, there was a very obvious drop in quality when you compared 2010 shirt with 2011.

I doubt I'll buy both once again if it is the cheapy version of 2011. Still not a fan of that daft bit of faff under the neck, I'm hoping the away one has a similar neckline to the 2010 shirt. I'm not too worried about having a collar but the excess material under the chin is bloody irritating.

What colour is the away shirt, i thought they were releasing both shirts this weekend.

I think its tope with a camel chevron and beige sleeves.

Don't tempt fate.


At least the colours on the home jersey are in the right order

That is true least its not a rip off of an old castleford shirt like wigans is

For those who are worried about quality a lot of wigan fans are disappointed with ther new jersey made by ISC cheap fabric does not wear well they are saying

Having seen it in the flesh I quite like it but agree about the high collar being irritating.

Technically speaking it must surely be entirely possible to have slightly distinct playing and replica shirts. That style collar is presumably to do with being grabbed as a player but on your average non athlete that style just looks daft. A replica version could have, for example, a real collar or a v-neck and not look as odd.

Are the braces owt to do with the Greenwoods sponsorship?!

Jeez, how long have Wigan had their shirts on sale? It must be ages if they're wearing out already, unless they're wearing them for work down the pit!!




I guess they could produce fully badged sweatshirt versions as an option. If you're going to bring out a shirt as a replica though I think it should stay as, well a replica, just as the players wear. Maybe it would impact on prices if they brought out two versions, losing the economies of scale and all that? Maybe, it would sell more and increase profits? It's not as though they aren't going to bring out sweatshirts in lots of differing designs and styles anyway. There I go, decisive as usual.....

Think the kits came out begining of November, there, there abouts just reading what they are saying on the forum must be getting ripped when they get grabbed by security guards in town centre when they are trying to rob hmv lol

Erm........

No.

No no no no no.

Sorry. It looks like someone's taken a load of different swatched and concepts and bodged it all together in one shirt.

I'm not a hardcore traditionalist like some seem to be but with 4 colours available I'd expect something much better than this.

From another vaguely related thread;



Here you go chief; (not my listing btw, I just happen to have the two pages open at the same time!)

[url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRADFORD-BULLS-VINTAGE-RUGBY-LEAGUE-SHIRT-1997-WORLD-CLUB-SERIES-42-44-CHEST-/200677498691?pt=UK_Rugby_Shirts&hash=item2eb94f9f431997 WCC shirt[/url

On the current shirt, better than last year (not hard) but still no good. I don't mind different and don't want traditional every year (I bought the purple/green/white northern away kit

and the 1997 amber kit), but I'm not sure on this one, remove the black vertical lines and it probably looks ok - anyone handy with photoshop to see what it looks like without the black lines? I just hope it looks better when I see it for real.

Anyone know when the away kit is revealed btw?

Think there is a slight typo. (There but for the grace of dog.....

)If you substitute [icame [/ifor [icakes[/i it makes more sense.

Jesus, thats the worst yet

Worst what?

You can't mean the shirt, [iwe've [/ihad [ifar[/i worse ones than this, let alone what other clubs might have come up with.

It's no Lee Crooks era Cas shirt, that's for sure.

I've been to Wigan. They all have to wear the replica shirt all the time, until the armpits rot. It's the law, like eating pies and Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. Even Latics fans wear them over their wendyball shirts so that they don't look conspicuous.

Cheers for the heads up mate. Not my size but I'm still going to take it I think.

no worries, it is a good shirt that one, pretty rare too now I suspect.

On the same search I think I found my 2012 away shirt;

A modern version of that would surely sell well wouldn't it??? go on Kooga, you know you want to.

Thats a good looking shirt...

....therefore we won't be getting one like that.
