I accept that the replica shirt the club are selling looks different to the ones the players wear. That's obvious. However the one on sale is hardly a 'rag'. If you can hold back the vomit inducing dissappointment of it not looking exactly the same as the players' version, you'll see the quality really is rather good. They've got the away one in the shop as well, assuming that is a replica, then that certainly copies the players' version more closely.

I don't understand how fans are being 'ripped off'. Again, I think it is ever so slightly misleading to have a picture of Clarke in the players' version in the pre-order section. However, you would be able to return it on receipt if you didn't like it. Also, as we live in the United Kingdom, you do also have the ability to rely on something I like to call 'choice'. I was watching Gok Wan's fashion fix yesterday. This bird on there picked up a bright blue Alexander McQueen shirt. £450 apparently. Madness. I have come up with a very clever way to avoid feeling 'ripped off'. I'm not going to buy one.

Oh, and if anyone wants a sneak preview of the training gear, check out the Saints website, it's all on there. Just imagine the crap colours replaced with glorious Primrose and Blue and the Saints GCSE Homework Club Crest replaced with our magnificent wolf emblem.

I have bought the home shirt and was happy with it, would have preferred the same style as players but as mentioned I wil buy anything with the wire badge on and wear it proudly



BUT after the first wash the blue has made the yellow go almost a lime greeny colour, and it was washed correctly! Has anyone else had this problem? I am going to take it back but was wondering if it wa common...

The common denominator with this and last years problems with the kits is ISC isn't it? Last years quality was garbage compared to Canterbury of previous years. The club did the right thing and exchanged any that were returned but it's pretty obvious to me that ISC can't produce a decent shirt at a cost that would allow them and the club to make a reasonable profit. The club have to take some of the blame again but the answer is ditch this manufacturer when their contract comes up. The fans aren't happy with what they're being offered and that should be taken seriously by Mr Gatcliffe and co.
It'll be interesting to see what Saints fans think of their gear for next year seeing they too will be clad in ISC outfits.

For me personally I'll probably wait a while before buying so that if any problems are occurring they might get sorted in later batches. I might possibly be buying the away shirt as well and using the voucher, so I need to wait for that to come in anyway.

If ISC want to keep these contracts with multiple SL clubs (Warrington, Saints, Hull, Leeds, Catalans) and sign up others they've got to be on the ball.

I'm not.

Seen a big fat bloke in Tesco with one on, it looks crap. I was prepared to get one as they looked great on the original add - without the silly collar on it - even with BFB on it!

Just saved myself £45 - thanks Wolves!

just wandering in any sport does a REPLICA shirt different for fans than for players? plus you can make a shirt the same as the player but not skin tight just the same design! but in my corner if it's got a wire badge and te money is going to wire i will buy it!!

yep, nba, nfl! football tend not to however, adidas now do two versions, players versions and fans versions, again with the players versions being skin tight versions that have all those teccy features!

My mate had the home shirt on the other day and it looked poor compared to the pictures. I always get a shirt however so hopefully the away one is better otherwise i will have make do with a polo top

interesting? im still gonna buy one but they should make the fans the same as the players but not skin tight would be easier! and stop all these complaints on here what doesn't change a thing!

My new Liverpool home shirt looks pretty close (i can say that now we've won a couple)

i wont be buying the home shirt... i might be buying the away shirt... depends what its like in the flesh.... i will probably just get some training gear this year.

I'm going to get a Hoodie and look like a gansta blood innit
