Quote: Prince of Denmark "Do us a favour. Any "all black" rugby strip (either code) just looks like a corny ersatz NZRU strip. "All black looks intimidating etc." (Yawn.)'"
The PLAYERS had 100% input to the shirt design....I'll be sure to pass on your advice.
Quote: Prince of Denmark "A retro Fulham strip with a big red/white chevron would have looked so much more stylish. Or the red/yellow/blue quarters as used for last year's away shirt. Or just any remotely original and innovative design. Anything but the nondescript all black!'"
...in the eyes of a Rugby League fan our shirts for 2012 look pretty non-descript. God job that the club don't need to appeal to those already aware that we exist, but instead to a new wider audience.
BTW.
Wigan Warriors record selling away strip of all time was....2007. That was the year after we sold a load of training tops that were...er.......Black.
....black is a pretty popular colour for replica shirts...I seem to recall the club selling out of our training kits 2 years running..the second year had white piping I believe.
