Wigan away & HKR 3rd (!!!) are particularly horrid as is Leeds away. While I would prefer my avatar shirt, the plain black compares well. But as I said earlier, it can be spoilt with a naff sponsors logo.

It took me an hour to do all these, not a professional but i still think a couple of them look better than the actual shirt.Mood board London can use next year if they want. [/imgur]https://imgur.com/a/z1KAxSr

HOW TO DO IT with a plain black shirt....


Of course, you have to gey buy in from the sponsors and I suspect Vodafone and Lion Red (undrinkable but cheap beer popular in south Auckland) were both big enough brands to swallow it for that season. Alas, once Vodafone sold themselves to a new entity, ONE, there was little chance of that brand accepting such a move whilst in it's infancy.....(I still bought one though{from aliexpress})

I like it and think it’s quite stylish, pending what they do with sponsors logos (assuming we get them this year), however I can definitely see the argument that it is the laziest design of all time and someone has pulled an absolute flanker. On balance I’m going with deliberately Minamalist and stylish rather than the latter.

Its very slowly growing on me. I was quite disappointed on initial viewing. Hopefully we do something more than just slap the sponsor logos on and actually make them part of the design.

If we are going to go minimalist/understated for the home jersey, then I'd like to see us do something a bit more eye catching for the away version. Especially with the extra SL exposure. Errea do have a lot of fun designs from outside of Rugby/Football that might be transferrable.

I’m going the other way on this one. Initially I thought it was stylish, now I’m wondering if I’ve been mugged. I assume they start with a blank palette of black or white and then Build up the design. Did the designer knock off at lunch time, have a heavy one and quickly add in a couple of stripes on the sleeves when he rolled in at 4.55. We’ll never know. Interesting to see what sponsors we have. Other teams have announced I believe but we go our own way.

The whole issue with the merch this year for me was the quality in general. I bought a home shirt and it's fine, but not massively impressive, especially given the wait time. I thought the away shirt was marginally better. I'm not saying we need to go into the realms of Hull FC/Castore/50 quid hoodies, however some items of better quality and design wouldn't go amiss.

So now we know new shirts before Christmas was but a fleeting hope. Still a good trick to get the email sent from the bloke who played Henry Hook in Zulu despite dying in 2005. That's the sort of Magic we need to stay in Super League. Next a reincarnation of Marty McLindon please.

Received a voucher today for 2 shirts I bought online .it said either redeem in the club shop or post voucher back with name/address. Can't the club just post them out when they're in.
