On the website it says the England badge is embroidered on this time, so maybe the quality is better...

I begrudgingly paid £45 for the last one, to take to the World Cup, I wont be doing it again. Why on earth do they need to change it every year?! Do they not reaqlise the financial situation, I cant see many people paying £45 shirt that looks marginally different to the last one when they fear they could lose their jobs or not be able to pay the mortgage. Greed.. I hope they have crap sales of it I really do!!

And all to support a team who were (are) shi*e!

I like it

I think it looks alright.

Smart kit

It's Rugby League. I want chevrons!

England have never played on a chevron - if they did, they'd be wearing St Helens shirts.u

I know that's the problem, and the consequent non-sales in Wigan, but still. I think a double red chevron, or a chevron and a hoop, or ....

Then again, I want GB back too.

It doesn't actually IIRC, it says Puma embroidered then a "woven England badge" or something like that? I struggled to interpret it TBH, hopefully it means they're both embroidered.

They did pre-war. In fact there's evidence that the England touring side of the 20s or 30s were the first team to wear chevrons. The Kangaroos started wearing the gold vees on the green jersey a few years later and 75 years on they still do. Meanwhile England/GB changes its jersey every second year and they always suck.

What if it was like the Canterbury Bulldogs chevron? Would it look like St Helens then? More like an upside-down triangle rather than a chevron sorta thing?

I don't understand why we have a new kit every year when we are hoping to build an 'image' for England Rugby League? I know the St Georges cross one wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but at least it was bold.

They have worn a red v a lot more recent than that.

I don't know the full details, but there used to be a framed shirt in one of my local pubs, as it was run by an ex-player.

I don't think it is right that we have a red v, as that is clearly a Saints thing.

I have no issue with the World Cup one or this (apart from the quality). If it was a team's club shirt, people would like it, but as it is an England shirt, and the responsibility of the RFL, I can't help but think that people enjoy criticising it.

Most GB shirts were decent, but the England shirt needs to be different, and there isn;t much you can do with just two colours. If this was an England RU shirt, I have no doubts that the Union fans wouldn't be slating it, and they have had some shockers.

good shirt, shame we dont have a good team to go in it.
