That's what I thought they were and one of the reasons I like it tbh.

The Catalans home one is nice but that away one is a joke - one for the eight year olds that one, awful!

Don't like the Catalan away kit, home kit is ok, nothing special though.

Yep I won't be investing in either kit this year.



When you consider how awesome a couple of our recent away kits have been... that Dragon print one is honking.

that barca one is the shiznit!!!

the one I play touch in most weeks

Wigan have confirmed that Option 2 won the vote and will be the 2017 home kit.

Wigan 2017 home shirt as voted for by the fans. Probably fair to say the best of a bad bunch.

I know some clubs are going retro, but this looks like a cheap school PE kit from the 1980's.

Ours (Wigan's) is absolute garbage. Looks like something a 10yr old designed and that's being generous. Haven't bought any merch since we were kitted out by KooGa. Recent efforts have been nothing but pathetic.

Just awful isn't it. There is a theory amongst our fans that RL clubs do it deliberately. Every club has an iconic shirt design that the fans cry out for, Saints have one, Wigan have one, Warrington as well. With Saints fans it's the St George look with the vee or the Meninga two-toned blue away kit for example. But the theory goes that the club won't let the manufacturers design those kits because they'd be too popular. Fans would buy that kit and wear that and not buy anything the club sold for the next ten years. But with semi-awful kits every year, people are more likely to buy.

What makes it worse is the Wigan fans were given several options to choose from, and nearly 50% of them chose this design

You're allowed to attend matches without trying to look like one of the players you know. Especially if you're an adult. You don't get refused entry at the turnstiles if you're not wearing one of these polyester monstrosities. Try not to let them upset you too much.

Yet they probably still picked the 'best' (I use that word loosely) option.

BLK have gone into receivership apparently, suppliers for England, New Zealand & Gold Coast.

I predict Wakefield to have the best home kit (let us win something!). I've not seen the full kit, but the ditching of "Wildcats" and the reversion to the traditional badge, with increased emphasis on heritage, suggests it will be very retro and traditional, which always go down well.



The slight snippets that have been revealed also suggest it will look a bit like a Great Britain shirt, with red and blues V's, which was the Wakefield shirt through some of the sixties.



Revealed this Saturday, it seems.

But it can be an earner for the clubs, which helps in buying players and creating an identity. Let's say Wigan make twenty quid on each shirt. 5,000 fewer sales is £100,000, which can buy you a half-decent prop forward.

Nice is that Fax kit

Like the new Wigan one and voted for it.



Its a different take on the traditional cherry & white hoops and I'm confident it will sell extremely well given the number of people that took the time to vote.

Hull FC broke your theory this season. In 2015, in conjunction with our 150th Anniversary, we produced the best shirt in years, the iconic B&W irregular hoops. This sold in its thousands as you'd expect. However, this season's shirts broke all records with the V proving very popular along with the Magic white star shirt. A Wembley appearance probably had a lot to do with that, but there is still the hunger to have the new shirt whatever the design within the FC ranks at least.

As with many other shirts (probably our own included) the amount of Sponsors on it spoil a good shirt.



You do get the odd one that doesn't look like a Formula One jacket, nice clean and simple unfortunately in our sport you need all the sponsorship you can get.
