Yes I'd have thought it would be fairly simple to do one exactly the same but without the Adidias branding, pretty simple shirt design especially compared to some of the ones we have in SL nowadays. Someone can't have had a good look at the shirt Wally Lewis actually wore before he designed that. Thing is imo if they had nailed the design I reckon they'd have sold all they had plus many more.

The shirt produced is the worst of both worlds, it is not a replica of the Wally Lewis shirt nor does it resemble any shirts we have ever worn. We could try to sell it to the Hull KR supporters because it more resembles their design.

Not only is the shirt design nothing like the 83-84 one but they have used the present day badge on it instead of the traditional one. A good idea carried out badly i'm afraid.

Why would anyone believe this would be acceptable to a Wakefield supporter. We know the shirts we have worn over the years and there are enough photographs, so why produce this, I hope it sells but sadly I too believe the club have made a big error and let's hope not a costly one.

I guess you could market it just as an 'old style' shirt. But it can't be called a retro version of one of ours sadly as it isn't.

Really disappointing. I did not particularly like either shirt this season, so I was looking forward to this coming out. Looks like for the first season in as long as I can remember that I will not be buying a shirt.
Very poor effort. I cannot believe they are trying to pass this off as a replica when it clearly is not.
Three rubbish shirts in a row, four if you include the Black/pink thing from last year.

| Can't believe what I'm reading here, this clearly isn't a "replica" shirt and is not being marketed as a "replica" shirt, it is a "retro" shirt and for me is exactly what "retro" is, much the same as the new mini/fiat 500/vow beetle, they don't look the same as the original, they are a modern day version of a classic, this shirt is a "retro" version of the 80's Classic shirt, with a modern twist on it. I'll be getting one and I bet I'll be as happy as wally looks wearing his  |

I think you should read the wording better on the site because it is says "a retro shirt replicating that worn by Wally Lewis during his spell with us".

As i said earlier an old style or retro style (its the same thing) rugby shirt yes. But its not a retro replica Wakefield shirt as it is clearly being marketed as per said article.

Semantics aside, do you think they've done a good job of producing a retro shirt of the replica 83/84 Wally Lewis one because personally I'd have loved to have one IF they were anything like the one posted by The Avenger of The Clans earlier picture. People have been banging on about that shirt for years and imo they could have sold hundreds if done properly.
