Nope.

But we don't expect any really as it's not Christmas yet. Saints usually announce the new kit after Christmas when everyone is broke and can't afford to buy a new Saints strip.

They released the home strip before christmas last year after listening to fans and I'm sure they'll do the same this year.

I think you are thinking of the previous year. They were late last year. Fans bought special cards with a number on that they took to the shop to collect their home strip when it arrived. Mine arrived in February! The previous year they got it right and managed to get the home strip out before Christmas. But I think that was the first time in 120 years that they had managed to do it.

I'm not holding my breath!

sad really isnt it that a professional team can struggle to do such a simple task! not attacking yourselves, just all rl clubs in general, other than hull fc, who seem to be the only team not to struggle each year!

I doubt most people outside of the north west of England actually know where St Helens is, other than if they are involved in the rugby league community.

im not sure that targeting potential fans outside of the North West would be the best strategy anyway.

at the end of the day 'Saints RL' or 'St Helens RLFC' is a business, its management needs to do whatever they feel is the best thing to ensure its long term survival.

The new ground is in St Helens, the only change is that the initial impact that new sponsors/fans will get is of the 'Saints RL' brand.

As a quick straw poll, look at all the usernames on here - how many people actually have the full club name in it, and how many have the word Saints.

While you're at it, ask what's the reason they're Saints fans, and I think you'll probably find that over 90% are either from St.Helens or have some family connection with the town.

You can start, what's your reason?
