| The only home shirt I don;t like this year is Wigan's. I wished Rovers and Hull's were more traditional but that aside I think most are fair to good. My favourite would probably be Bradford's. Cas would have been if the yellow was more orange.

| Too many colour clashes. Get the non related to club colours away shirts to the fore so that all these new people who are coming to follow the sport after the changes will be informed.
For example, Leeds play in Blue and Yellow and Wigan play in Cherry and White. Because of the obvious colour clash Wigan will turn out in something that doesn't promote their image to a wider audience.
By all means have a change of strip if there is an obvious clash but keep using your same branded colours. It's good marketing, people get to recognise your brad. Keep changing and........................

| "The away shirt is interesting though, with a vintage photo printed onto the bottom shirt….probably the last time they won the Challenge Cup"
How difficult would it have been to actual do some research? It's not difficult to quickly find out who and why the photo is being used.

It's not that straight forward though is it, it's all about money. Hull FC for example only clash with Widnes, however we have different sponsors for our home and away kits. Do you think Bartercard would be happy to have their name displayed once a season?

If there's an obvious clash, wouldn't keeping the same colours still have an obvious clash?!
When some kits have 50/50 colours, there needs to be a completely separate coloured away shirt.

| Mixed bunch as usual, it never ceases to amaze me how some clubs get this so wrong year after year - it's yet another example of how unprofessional the management at many SL clubs is. I spend a lot of money on my rugby but I will not be buying a Wigan shirt because it is truly ugly in my view.
I really like all the St Helens and Warrington designs - having decent sponsors logo's which blend in really helps them too actually loks like they made a real effort this year. Wigan (home), Widnes (away) and Wakefield (home) look pretty bad, but Salford (away) is really really horrible - are they the Doctor's racing colours?
A few shirts would also look better if the clubs employed decent professionals to do the photoshoot and taught the players how to pose correctly. Using players with bushy beards or gay-porn mustaches is a bad idea as this becomes the focal point of the picture, although that is maybe a good thing with some of the designs. A few players could also try to smile rather than looking like hypnotised rabbits or trying to appear mean.
The headless Huddersfield away player made me smile though, there must be a "high shot taking his head off" joke in there somewhere. The London shot is not helped by the player seemingly having the palour of a corpse (no pun intended).

| It's all down to individual taste. But both Catalan shirts are superb. I really like the Leeds home shirt.wigan is atrocious. So is saints. Wakey is quite innovative without being over the top , I like it. Like cas shirt not sure about Warrington. Bradford's so a bit tok harsh on the eyes. Like widnes but they will never beat their classic 80's Adidas plain white shirt.

| The NRL 9s jerseys
Some shockers. Hats off to Brisbane, Roosters and Sharks for keeping tasteful. The Broncos shirt in particular being way better than their actual 2014 jersey.

Thumbs up for going the same design, alternate colours route. Thumbs down for the design itself being rather cack.
