It willgo well with my shorts!!!! In fact they should get rid of the shorts and replace them with the diamond geezer ones!

Very nice shirt you have there

I can`t say that I am in love with the away kit, but the Hull players kit in the photo background looks really good. It`s a tough sport and I think the Hull players will have felt a whole lot more comfortable in their outfits and ready to play..........I doubt our guys felt good about going on to the pitch dressed like pantomime dames......jesus, look at the hooped socks!!! who designs this stuff, Stevie Wonder!!

Why do we insist on wearing the most garish, farcical outfits.......I would have thought we would sell a lot more shirts to the fans if the kit were something smart and more subdued. I don`t much fancy travelling to match days looking like Coco the clown.

If we want to get some extra publicity and get curious onlookers to the ground, why don`t we go the whole hog and get the guys to dress in one piece cat suits to the same design as the Harlequins emblem.....I am sure the players could not feel any worse than the terrible kits they have to play in at the moment.

"Garish farcical outfits..... where have you been mate, we've been wearing one for every home game since 2006?"

Spot on Rob, I have got most shirts.........but have grown tired of them. They may be ok when your sitting with other fans at the Stoop, but soon loose their appeal when you wander a few miles from Twickenham. Think I will hang on to my money and stick to T shirts, unless they come up with something less embarassing and more user friendly.

Dont become a Stade Paris/France rugby union fan if kits worry you.

I know what you mean WQ, but at least Stade Francais have established their own somewhat bizarre identity and people recognise it.....we on the other hand have no identity to speak of as every piece of kit seems to require a passing nod to the Harlequins RU quarters. Anyone seeing the shirt outside of RL will think it is something to do with RU. I don`t have a problem with RU, I just want the RL club to step out of their shadow, do something different and get away from this whole `court jester`fixation.

I think we should have the away kit as the home kit. Harlequin shirt often refers to a multi coloured, quartered shirt. Our away kit does this and gives us a seperate identity to the RU team and restores links to the past.

Good Call curtism

Not a bad suggestion, but the shorts and socks would need to be toned down, perhaps taking a lead from the Peter Gill pictures in the Storm matchday programme........but I still think we would be better getting away from the quartered shirt design and we would sell more kit if the design were more subtle.

Going off topic slightly........

I believe we now have to pay Quins RU for the use of the Stoop, just like any other tenant arrangement.....so unless their are other contractual obligations, I fail to see why we are so reluctant to form our own image/brand........it raises the old, old arguments ........nobody knows we exist and if you see the quartered shirt you think of Quins RU.

Whilst we are about it, we might be better of dropping the Harlequins name and just calling ourselves `London`as the Harlequins name has not proved to be a great attraction to new RL fans.

As a season ticket holder for both codes I want to make it clear that I have no problem with Harlequins RU or the brand, in fact I wish the RU club every success.........I just feel that the RL side is being suffocated and apart from the use of the Stoop (which is a great venue) and the stability it brings, it`s hard to see what benefit the RL side is getting from the `partnership` with the RU club.

A possible merger with the Skolars?

A possible merger with the Skolars?

That will be the worse case scenario if the Quins RL bit goes up in smoke. That is if the Skolars would have us!

So, people think that moving away from the most famous colours in world rugby to the colours of a team that effectively folded is a wise move?

Are you mad?

As much as I loved the Broncos they are history now, we need to work with this new brand and enjoy its benefits, not step even further backwards.
