Well, you can buy the Home shirt before Christmas. I doubt that you will see it before the day though.

Nice shirt and the fact it is released at an appropriate time is an encouraging sign. As you say the fly in the ointment is whether it’s delivered pre season or not but in the whole this is a positive sign of intent/competency. Well done to all concerned.now sign some SL players please.

Looks like one of our better designs for sure.

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.

It's a f#&£)ing black T shirt.
I'd they stick that multicoloured sponsor from the play offs on that, the trim on the sleeves is lost....it really is a lazy lazy design......
....whilst I'd love to have a shirt available, on a scale of 1-10 it's about a 1 in the greater scheme of things. I'd rather pay in Gus's hoops in front of 4,000 fans rather than have hughes fleece 100 or so folk for yet another year...

Less is more. Obviously the sponsors logo might make or break it (bit like DHL is a horrid logo on a Harlequins shirt compared to their previous sponsors) but I think it is more than ok. Have even convinced a lapsed Bronco to invest in 1. Reminds me a bit of our Quins away shirt that was white with the quins colours around the sleeve.

I'll leave you to tell your adopted homeland that the ABs play in a black tee shirt then.

The All Blacks you mean? Yeah.....they play in a black T-shirt that is known even in far flung places like America, whilst I doubt there's a hundred people in Merton know we exist, so good comparison there....well done you {sigh}
It is a black T shirt. 20 years ago every team went through the "black shirt sells well" campaign including football clubs. The feeling being that a black shirt would be ok work out other than on game day......problem is, when Wigan did it they were already selling 5,000 home shirts too.
This is a gimmick that has been easily sold to a useless management and shows how inept they really are.

That's my opinion of course. I may be wrong, but history shows that I am pretty accurate at these things and often not in hindsight but foresight.

Don't disagree with you in principle about black shirts in this day & age. In 1980 it was fine, even chevrons were fine but I never understood when we changed from Quins back to Broncos, we adopted a Fulham shirt rather than our SL Runners Up shirt or our Challenge Cup Final shirt. Both of those are better than what we have had. I'm just saying if we have to have a black shirt, then an unfussy one is better.
Happy for you to provide next weekend's lottery numbers though.

It's not the worst kit in SL 2024. There's one particularly nasty one seemingly designed by Pat Butcher. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/20 ... eague-club
