I have never known so much negativity and conjecture about a bloomin shirt

BB -- As much as I have been a big buyer of replica kits since they were first available in the 80s and I bought 6 last season, times are changing. When you get no change out of £50 the consumer will become increasingly fussy, and rightly so. Transfers are tacky. They don't last and seems should be aligned. I wear replica shirts dating back to 2004 still without any real signs of wear and tear. The 2012 version with its transfers is already "retired" as the transfers are awful especially the KC one on the back. It's not on and if the club honestly think in times as tough as we are seeing now that people will ignore this then they might get a shock.
As I say the kids will probably get one but I will be thinking long and hard before I commit to one for me and my wife.

I struggle to get my head around why an adult male (unless part of a team) wants top wear the shirt of the club he supports.

Invariably they have a name and number on the back and usually a lad 20+ years younger than themselves..

Replica shirts look great on kids and shapely women.

Same thing goes for adult males in cartoon shirts - a massive no...!!!!

Only if you have earnt the right to wear the top as a player should you be wearing one after puberty.

If you want to be supportive and wear team colours, wear a simple polo with club crest or a scarf.

Always beats the hell out of me

Im lost for words

I`m sure you will rush out and buy one.

After looking at the picture with Gareth Ellis wearing the shirt you are cock on mate - I showed it to my partner and he said re the shoulders it looks inside out. If you were to give this in as a piece of needle work in an exam you would not get 40%. As they are charging £47 for this you are being ripped off - I would expect a shirt for £50 from a High Street retailer to be perfect this looks like a second or reject. The Chevron I dont mind.

You're right of course and the 10.000 people who bought/wore the shirts last year are all misguided fools for pretending to be Kirk Yeaman or Tom Briscoe.

Eh?

We have sold 10,000+ shirts for the past 8 years!

I'm sure adam pearson shares your views. I expect him to be stood in the shop, stopping any adult male from parting with £47 for a ridiculous shirt and pointing them in the direction of a nice scarf. Ideal gear for summer rugby to boot

I would be very surprised if we've tried to cut costs on the shirts like that, given fans in recent years have been critical of the sponsors logos fading/falling off. Not that we'll ever find out.
