'pre-order' suggests you are ordering before they are actually ready for collection/delivery. I wouldnt advise anyone to hold their breath if they are expecting to unwrap something on Xmas day.

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'd be surprised. Not sure about those who post on here, still this is only a fraction of the Saints fanbase, but the majority of the people I've stood with over the years aren't from the town and have no ties to the town itself other than the rugby club. They come from southport, wrexham, oldham, birkenhead, wallasey, blackpool. And a lot of the people who say that they're not bothering to go to the games next year because 'it's too far to travel for a home game/ too much hassle' are the ones who live in the town. I think the earlier comments about some, not all might I add, of the St Helens townsfolk becoming apathetic and fickle towards 'their' team somewhat ring true.

Just out of interest aswell, are Medicash and Frontline Bathrooms still Saints' main shirt sponsors?

Kit revealed 3rd november and available to pre order in plenty of time for christmas.

I wonder if that picture of Josh is the kit blacked out? If so that seems to be a canterbury style collar.

When is the all important pink away kit being announced?

Yes mate, I think thats pretty typical of ISC.

Re the pink away kit rumors - I think an all black away kit with a big red vee would have been a classic!

Mate, heard a lot about the quality of isc's kit, i cant wait either way. Boxed off the shirt for crimbo. A st george esque shirt would be immense.

Yeah, in fact going off the Hull FC pictures of their new kit it seems their player home shirt has a similar collar.

I've heard a few conflicting reports but again looking at the Hull FC kits it appears there are fan shirts & player shirts. I seem to recall asking one of the marketing bods at the stadium launch and he said it won't necessarily be a traditional design like this years but with be obviously recognisable as a Saints shirt. Read into that what you will.

I've never understood the difference between 'order' and 'pre-order'. Surely, even if the product is not yet available, all you are doing is ordering it. It just seems like classic tautology to me.

Grammar rant over.

Yes, ISC very rarely do traditional style designs.....but they do have some excellent creative people. Im speaking from expereince because we used ISC to deign the Newton Storm kit. Unfortunately, they dont deal with amateur clubs any more, which is a shame, but we still use the same design for all our teams. These were taken when my u13's toured Perpi when they were u8's. Kit sponsored by Catalan Sport Tours!
