| I quite like that Widnes shirt. Not a fan of the Wakey away strip, awful colour scheme.

| A better picture of it below and although I didn't like it at all from that initial picture, it looks better in the flesh and also the training gear that goes with it, hoodies, T-shirts etc look very nice tbf. You can also see from the Wakefield Hospice badge above ours where the colour comes from.

I think that’s a big part of the reason clubs throw around different colour schemes every few years for their away shirt because of all the other clothing they can sell to match. From some fans their’s only so much you can buy in the same colours year upon year. Although many mocked Leeds going for pink for a few years they did seem to sell quite well in all types of clothing merchandise and especially and unsurprisingly with females.
Think the biggest problem with that Wakey shirt is trying to fit 4 colours in, always going to be tough to come up with something good including that many colours (without having one just for small trim on collars and sleeves)

Agree with that especially the highlighted part- there's more nowadays to the clubs revenue than just the shirts, the other merchandise is a big earner and like you say other colours lend themselves to the obvious in our case, red white and blue and a change to many people can be quite refreshing.
Slightly O/T but an example below where I think the colours work is with this hoodie worn by the prodigal son.

The shirt behind Brough does actually look a bit better. Still think the point about too many colours stands and swap the white for more grey/silver.
Maybe what the shirt really shows is not to use Danny Kirmond as a model

46584_1279360105.jpg Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves
FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg |

| As someone who doesn't normally buy merchandise, and regards O'Neill's as a GAA specialist but cheap tat aside from that, I am absolutely stunned to find them the best thing to happen to Wires merch in years. I was in our club shop today and was impressed by quite a bit of it. Some rubbish inevitably, but the retro Vladivar shirt is great, training shorts are decent and some of the olive stuff is okay. Overall it's miles better than anything ISC ever released.

Even Danny's had a good laugh at that picture on Twitter.
Last season we used that same green but with just a dark blue which I think worked better but ateotd as with a lot of shirts, some will like it and others not.

| Wakefield have realised that tradition is a better marketing tool for us than modern, because it's in the distant past where our silverware success is and the only good thing about Belle Vue is that it's historic. Wildcats dropped as a name. Revert to traditional logo for badge. Two very simple and traditional home shirts in a row. It's smart marketing.
The away shirt is where you experiment.
As for non-Wakey shirts, I like the Warrington home shirt the most. Very smart.

| I quite like the Wakey away shirt.
It doesn't exactly scream Wakey in either colour scheme or design, but that doesn't make it a manky shirt, its just a departure from tradition which will likely divide opinion.
I mean, its easy to pick a traditional design and then just reverse the colours for the away shirt, but all gets a bit samey after a few years of that, I guess fans are looking for a bit more variation for their money rather than minor tweaks of the same thing year after year.
