We figured that as you pinched the hoops off us, you might do likewise if we bring out a sheite shirt.

The away shirt is on the unofficial warriors page on facebook apparently, can't view it off my phone so I could be misinformed. Someone go look and report back? Apparently it's white with a blue V

its the shirts pemps has made up this moring and they are all going giddy about it

Good to see those big rufty tufty "warriors" getting in touch with their feminine side



[iAccentuates the shoulders and narrows the waist[/i.....mmmmmmmmm nice!

I expect there will be at least a 5 mins delay at the start of every match, whilst it gets sorted just who is going out in front of whom.....scrums will be a veritable bitchfest.....and even the bloody bus driver will get asked "why did you come this way?"

Gawd knows what the Aussie will make of you lot!

It looks like your competitors effeminate "Weeeeeeeeeegan" chant with the associated camp arm movements hasn't been helped by the fact you'll be running out with "accentuate shoulders and shrunken waists" dressed in pink.

The Champions deserved so much better than that. Genuinely gutted for you and I don't even care that much!

Camp? This coming from a team with Jamie Peacock in the team, hah.

I don't mind that chant so much.

It's one of the few chants that actually makes the singer look far more ridiculous than the intended victim. As there's only really Leeds that do it, that's fine by me.

I tell a lie, it does my head in - not because of the Wigan aspect, just because it sounds so embarrassing.

I'm just gonna assume that all RL fans realise the stripes/Vs, etc on their kits were originally designed to make their players look bigger and more physically intimidating?

That away kit is very smart imo.

With 99% of supporters obviously hating it and opposition supporters obviously laughing at us, surely there's enough time to swallow our pride and scrap this template & production for a good design that Pemps can do in 15 minutes?

i think its a mock up of what pemps did this morning mate, so we could still be looking @ two shockers for the 2011 season yet

Isn't it nice to wee all supporters united on just how terrible this shirt is.

I still can't quite get my head around why someone would ok this monstrosity.

with you on that one mate !!

You know what, I'll even let them have it for free.

Although if you go on the unofficial wigan warriors facebook page a few of them think that my away shirt looks like a saints shirt

They mustn't have heard of Canterbury.

would pirtek be on it

Probably not

can't think why

The last time we won a world club challenge, we wore a kit that was a 'break with tradition'. Hopefully an omen? Clutching at straws, i know.

plus we have just announced john barrowman will be singing prior to each home game

I think this is what shocks me the most. IL and the team at Wigan have made a series of great decisions since taking over, from playing and coaching staff, to marketing and other back-office tasks.

But that someone at Wigan has not only signed that "design" off, but more crucially has overlooked the opportunity to capitalise on our fantastic GF win by putting out a classic and slightly retro Wigan shirt the fans will go nuts for and buy in massive numbers, amazes me. As it is, sales will be fairly good initially as the habitual die-hards get theirs, but will soon trickle away.

There's a fine line between innovative and ridiculous. I don't even need to see it in the flesh to know that shirt is ridiculous.

Huge own goal methinks. Oh, I probably won't mind it once it's more familiar and the season is in full flow, but I'm not wasting £43 on that.

the thread title just made my snot coffee out my nose!!

Same thoughts here. They didn't even have to make it retro - just a shirt that was recognisable as a Wigan RL shirt! As Christopher said the traditional style of shirt is part of the brand of the club and very marketable. By sticking with tradition I don't mean the club can't try and bring in some modern styling but surely you start with cherry and white hoops and work from there!

Well, 7hours on the small bit of me that was starting to like it after 15mins has gone back to being embarrassed like the rest of me.

I'm baffled. Truely baffled by it
To me, the Hoffman and Hansen pic looks like there is a red screen over the shirt ready to be pulled off to reveal the nice shirt underneath.
It Could've been a very nice shirt IMO. But it's been ruined

exactly, god only knows who signed this off, it could have been a leaving gift from mick hogan

, no mick is a good bloke !

Shirt aside, the sponsor does look good.
