i'm pretty sure Hull said its a new requirement for all shirts this season

Think Eastwood needs to cut down on the pies! Feka Paleasina has a rival for next year on the looks of that picture!!

No one can ever rival Paleasina for size.

Your right. I quoted the wrong post.

I should have clicked on the one that said it looks like the Belgium flag.

Just me to buck the trend then.

I like the Bulls new shirt, my son also and my wife who has no interest in rugby thought it was good. Well done Bradford

You are a bad parent and husband, regardless of your horrendous taste in fashion.

Yeah the player Issue shirts are always far better fit and quality, Ive got a few from 2008. I work just down the road from ISC office in Australia so I might go and try and get one from there direct rather than paying for one to be shipped back from the UK.

What's the difference between the player-fit and replica shirts from ISC, apart from them being tighter?

The Material is different as well.

I got a player-fit sample shirt of one the designs for our 2007 kit. It doesn't go well with a late-40s beer gut. That I do know.

With last seasons Kooga shirt for Wigan, the sponsors, crest and SL badges were all printed into the material rather than embroidered. They tend to be triple stitched and have strengthening pieces stitched into the seams. The ISC ones now have rubber lumps stuck on to the chest area to grip the ball during play.

The reason I ask is because I used to collect shirts. I have player issue jerseys for union and league from Nike, Adidas and Kooga but not ISC. ISC seem to have the largest disparity between the two sets, with Kooga coming a close second.

The 2009 Wigan jersey is a point in fact. The players jersy was awesome but the replica design didn't "flow" as well through the stripes.

I have Chad Randall's jersey from Quins' first season as Quins. Not as comfortable as the replica...

The most uncomfortable payer issue are Nike. Too much material...
