The home one is ok but the away one is a vomit fest.

The away one is just a nostalgia piece for the Jonathan Davies years, when we seemed to wear it for every away fixture (and unusually for Wire consistently win)

It’s not the thought on this occasion it’s the execution. If they had stopped at the stripes they would have been ok but they didn’t unfortunately.

I'm not into vertical stripes on a rugby shirt anyway, nostalgia or not.

This was better than the vertical striped one...

Agree. Superb kit

I expected Wires to have a Souths colours away kit this year because of Inglis, and obviously basing it on one of our own 90s kits made the most sense for natural heritage.

I thought they would go for the hooped one above because it's closer to Souths style and also incorporates wire now that the club finally recognise that as our name again.

The one they've chosen is still a belter though, and unlike the p&b home kit, the Hoover logo actually matches nicely.

I think they probably went for the green and white vertical because they did a poll and that came out as our favourite ever away kit.

Anything to pull in some revenue at the moment and there's no doubt it will sell.

Didn't Warrington play in Green and White in the early Super League days?

Not really. Home is always primrose and blue, or white with primrose and blue. Away kits - we've had all sorts. I think, unlike Leeds and a few others, pink and purple are about the only colours we've not had.

I was thinking the away kit in 1996. Sure it was Green and White hoops with Green shorts. Wire did a throw back to it in around 2013 I think.

That's the best away kit we have had in my time watching the wire IMO.

Superb kit and agree the hoops are better on a rugby shirt. I do like the new away shirt but the home is better.
