Well done the club on getting both strips out at the same time, first time ive known them do this in a loooong time!

also i like the collars they have gone for this time, unless they sell the collars different to what is shown on pics..like two years ago

at first i didnt like the shirts, the home one is ok, may grow on me... the away one i thought was boring but on the back sleeve it has the giants face which i like..

we had a purple alternative strip a few years ago, remember that one...

its hard to get a shirt to look good when you have a big white rectangle box with bond it on it too!

£50.. very steep. but always is

If it was claret and gold hoops every year- would you buy one EVERY year- I wouldnt! Putting out more or less the same shirt svery year wouldn't work- we'd sell even less than we already do.
I always get one as i know the money helps the club recruit and retain players. - now I've seen them this year I'm tempted to get both!!!

yep would be no point buying a new one if it was similar every year.

No, but i don't buy them anyway as i don't find them value for money and cannot justify paying £50 !!!!! for a bit of thin polyester, plus i have a retro shirt that i will use for years that is much better quality than anything the club/kooga will ever produce. I haven't bought a shirt since the 2003 one.

I'm too much of a traditionalist when it comes to the kits etc so will always be disappointed if it doesn't resemble a 'proper' Fartown shirt, i realise the club want to maximise sales and in this day and age it seems toheuglier the kits are the more attractive they are to buyers. We've certainly had worse than these but they're not to my taste unfortunately.

Plus people seem to forget that it's only the last few years we've gone down the football route of fleecing fans with 2 new kits every year, before that it was every 2 years alternatively, and before that we had Claret & Gold hoops every year for god knows how many years cos that was our colours !!

Times move on Daz.... At least for some of us!

I know, those are my personal opinions, like i said i'm a traditionalist.

To be fair daz we've never had the same strip more than a couple of years running since forever - back when I were a lad we had a new strip each year

The new home one is growing on me
Never gonna like the alternate

looks abit better the home strip in the new pic with jack hughes.. might be one that grows on people

now we await lots of purple merchandise rather than claret and gold, looking on the virtual terrace at some of catalans' stuff, it's levels above the kind of merhcandise we have!

ISC do catalans and now supply 7 NRL clubs.

kooga for another 2 seasons after this one

We hada purple shirt a few seasons ago.

It weas incredibly popular.

Unlike most of the boring, middle aged , conservatively minded, male posters on here it will probably be very popular with Kids and Women.

So if it sells it will have done its job.

I have no problem with it.

The C & G one looks a bit different but it is the right colours and has a slighlty modern take on it with the colours merging .
I am happy with that one as well.

No doubt the club will read the bitching on here then order too few shirts then those bitching about the shirt will be able to bitch about the fact there are not enough shirts left that they were bitching about in the first place.

I think we need to look at the make up of the crowd! No one group polarises the others women, men, old, young, family's, mates. Trying to appease all groups of fans with two shirts would be difficult. Proof will be in the sales and what we see in the stadium! Has been mentioned how ghastly the grey paintball shirt was, yet I saw many fans wearing them!

For me the home one is certainly a grower and will certainly be getting one while the away is a tad generic. Saying that I think we have been spoilt the last few years the home shirt has got a lot better with last been the best in a long time retro with a twist and the away shirts have been outlandish alternatives that seem to have been great sellers.

Last shirt i bought was the paintball one, loved it!

Exactly brearly I have bought that shirt too as did many others but others Hated it! Like I said you have two shirts to try to create something that will sell to everyone and maximise sales! Can't please everyone

To be fair it's not as bad as I first thought the more I see of it. Still not the biggest fan though
