Heath is wearing a players fit and design top. Players tops have no embroidery, everything is printed (see engage patches and bulls logo). They are more expensive to produce (around £11) where the replicas done in bulk cost a lot less.

Unfortunatly you, the punter get a raw deal. Player fit and design shirts are much better than the cr@p put out by clubs these days.

The back of the player shirts are all white, with a black flash at the bottom of the number as per the RFL request for the name and number to be clearly visible.

I had an email from the club saying that if you purchase a new shirt from the webshop it will be a L'Estrange replica and not a Langley one. Good news!!

Good news for you, but not everyone else who has already got one. Means I will have to make another trip to try and exchange mine, I bought one for my dad as well but I think he's taken all the labels of it so will have to see if they will exchange that one.

Webshop being the online store on the main site? sorry i'm a bit thick!

Any news on when the away shirt is going to be unveiled/on sale

I think most people understand that the players shirts are usually of better quality than supporters shirts.

Difference with this one seems a clear difference in design patterns for the shirts, even if some may call them little changes. Usually in that sense Players and supporters shirts are usually pretty much exactly the same.

I remember the logitog fiasco, but that was out of the Bulls hands AFAIK, though maybe the same could be said of this. Didn't Kooga just stop sending the 2009 blue away shirt?

New away shirt to be revealed and available to buy on 23rd January at the rlLaunch Eventrl, although it'll cost you a tenner to be there.

They are really different aren't they. I hadn't really noticed. The one worn by Heath is miles nicer.
I thought they looked nicer in the shop, but imagined it was just how the phot had been taken.

I agree, if the club make the one modelled by Heath available for purchase i'm sure they will sell many..

I've already bought mind (the Langley version), but I'd probably end up getting a LeStrange edition as well, so that the collection is kept complete.

Yes, the webshop is the online shop! I guess it is probably available in the shop, but I just enquired about t'internet as I dont live in Bradford.

looking at T&A today do we now have a third variant on the home shirt?

rlhttp://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/4851854.Rhinos_warm_up_can_be_stepping_stone_to_season/rl

looks like a cross between the previous two. slashes overlap in same order as on langley shirt but crossover point is similar to l'estrange version. Totally confused now and just gonna wait and see away shirt. If its anything like I'll get that one and wait for home shirt till the design is settled once and for all.

That definitely is a third variant yeah.

Jesus, what are they playing at?

It really doesn't bother me enough to go and swap my shirt, but it's starting to become a bit of a farce.

tbh I like both the 2nd and 3rd versions. but im not gonna order online til im sure that i'll get one of those and not the original langley version. having the same version as the players would obviously be a good idea too

Maybe every tops going to be unique! Nero looks a bit special in that photo and his ears make him look like a bat.
