Well to be honest it's the same as last years I can't remember all these horror show shirts we've supposedly had the worst one was the orange and grey away one other than that they've been ok

That orange and grey shirt was pants. Another Rob Crossland sponsored company, Parasol, plastered on the front. Until last year, I used it to do all the gardening here at the manor house, but snagged it on my climbing roses and then chucked it.

Looking at the signature that appears at the bottom of all your posts, I think it's safe to refer to this new 2017 shirt as the Einstein Insanity shirt.

Finally, me & Victor agree on something. I cherish that shirt, perhaps the 9 away wins in it has tainted my memory.

I liked the blue away shirt we had 2 seasons later Stan, made by Kooga and with Sporting Bet as the sponsor.

Jesus.

Are you two having a bad taste off?

Yes.

Did we really win 9 times away from home in one season or was that our whole ten years in super league
I also spoke to an Aussie guy in France when I was working there who had bought 100 of the orange and grey shirts at the end of the season as the company he ran had all its signage in the same colours

I like it. It's a proper Rovers shirt, white with a red band and I actually like the look off the sponsors logo within the band.

I have many issues with this new shirt.

Far too traditional, far too conservative, far too uninspiring for me and worst of all - FAR TOO SIMILAR TO LAST YEARS EFFORT (THEREFORE SYNONYMOUS WITH UNDERPERFORMANCE AND FAILURE)

It lacks flair and imagination. The club could and should be doing much better than this. I hope I can spend my 45 quid on something more impressive.

I expect I will upset a few with this viewpoint, but sorry to say that's my opinion.

Also similar to the one we wore last time we won promotion

It was 8 actually:

We won away at:

St Helens
Crusaders
London
Wigan
Hull
Salford
Castleford
Warrington ( in Edinburgh, so technically away!)

And we drew at Bradford 1st game of the season.

Long time ago mate!

Just picked up a home shirt, good quality, much better in the flesh than the launch photos. A deeper red than recent years, but very impressed. 45 notes is a bit steep mind.

You could do what I do and buy it for £20 in September
