London Broncos is thin and terrible, washed it once and its covered in white bobbles.

The shirt itself hasn't been too bad for me, but the sponsors printed on started to flake away very early.

This year's bulls away shirt is the best in years, quality is a lot better than the kooga rubbish.

Got the Australia jersey made by classic in 2006, best quality shirt I've ever bought, still in brilliant condition.

As most teams change them every winter now, why bother making the shirts of a quality that will last more than 10 washes or so?

I think the manufacturers think this way.

My ISC Dragons one from last season is still in good nick, but it didnt have sponsors on it.

You are probably right but why pay £50 for a thin bit of cloth? I have a HKR replica top from the 80's apart from the colours fading a bit the cloth is great & I wear it for working around the house. some of the later ones were also thick hard wearing material I have left at least a dozen in remote parts of Africa were they are probably still being used.

Haven't purchased a Rhinos ISC shirt this year however I do have both the 2012 shirts. The actually shirts are in great nick and look fine. However the large advertising panel on the front of the shirt has come away at every corner and looks a bit cr4p

Hull's replica shirts seem to be poorer quality year on year, and yet the price just keeps on rising. Haven't bought one for years and don't intend to start until the quality improves substantially.

Leigh have had O'Neills for a few years now and my '09 top still looks like its brand new. Top stuff.

maybe that's because there's not that much heavy contact in cricket

I dont buy replica shirts anymore due to the sponsors logo's peeling off after a few washes.

May aswell buy a polo shirt which is half the price,isnt covered in sponsors and and doesn't look dated after a year.

i still have the last GB shirt which i wear from time to time.made by puma and all stitched logo's stitched in.has been through wash many times but still looks great, a proper rugby top.

Could the RFL not impose a 2 season life cycle ruling?

It would make clubs plan their kits better and I think more people would buy them if they knew it had a reasonable life span.

Clubs are struggling for money as it is!
