Is this wife a designer? or in fashion?..... If so she needs to quit asap!

Red is not our colour, i've always wondered why we can never just reverse the home strip.... White or Black with alternate V would suit everyone!

I used to buy both home and away shirts every season, up until a couple of years ago when the away shirts became ridiculous colours and designs. To be honest now i dont even bother with the home shirt either, but thats simply because i cannot afford it (deposit on house to save for, wedding and all that)

All you need now is someone to marry you, and they are not allowed to be inflatable!

Poor choice of colour, as far too many of our opponents play in red, not a lot of thought gone into it, as with many others I would much prefer to see either a black or white shirt, the same design as the home shirt would have been fine.

Was just saying that t'other day, I'm pretty sure someone, somewhere could make a reasonable design reversing the 'traditional' colours of amber, black and white.

Congrats for the forthcoming nuptials btw (and good luck)

Fortunately I've already found someone!



Good luck in finding yours though

Thanks, I feel i may need it!

I was given to understand the colour is meant to be in keeping with the Heroes fundraiser promotional material. If so, and with everything else going on in the world today, I don't give a flying **** if we play in red especially as some clubs have already played in pink for charity and we've even had a shirt in Fev's 2 Blues and white.

The cause far outweighs any issues as petty as colour imo.

i just like to see use wear amber & black in derby games. Likewise at headlingley, but fear the away shirt might be worn there.

If that is the case then that's fair enough. If its due to the fact that nobody other than a directors wife can come up with a shirt design then thats another matter

Either way i still wont be buying it and would hazard a guess that others won't either, I would rather just give the 40 odd quid (or however much they are these days) to charity

No argument with any of that......in fact I'm probably too old fashioned to get drawn into a debate about what a strip looks like as opposed to who's in it.

Fair play that the shirt has been influenced by charity. As for designs; my girlfriend and I sent in some brilliant ones (even if I do say so myself).

Bit sad but we spent ages doing them one day. They looked pretty professional and they weren't even acknowledged. Not much point welcoming designs for the kit if they are never going to consider them!

Im a Warrington fan and think its a great idea if it has a donation for help the heroes. I

Continued lol.............I will buy 1 and show support.Good luck for the season.See you at yours in a few weeks

I think its a really smart design, and its great we are doing something for such a worthwhile charity.

A couple of people at the game the other day said they wouldnt buy one because it was red and they hated man u, which is pathetic in my opinion this is rl it has nothing to do with football and the red represnting help for heroes is far more important than some petty rivallry in another sport.

well done the club.

I wont be buying one for one simple reason, I personally don't like it, nothing to do with Man United or any thing else, I just don't like it I will save my £36 and quite happily give £4 to h4h

I dont think it looks any worse than last years purple,green & white.

It might sell well if Cas gets some good wins wearing it and people buy it as a "lucky" shirt.

Whats the shorts/socks colours?.

It would be best to have black shorts with red trim, socks red & black strips(aussie style)

Be tidy then

I have seen this shirt close up, its without doubt the worst away shirt ever and i thought last year was bad, what muppet let this get through . As i have said i will put a fiver in the fund .

Can anybody tell me ... Does the away shirt have the "Help For Heroes" logo actually printed on it? If not, how does RED symbolise H4H! The H4H logo to my knowledge and it's official site just shows a medal with Navy Blue, Red & Light Blue bars. The Help For Heroes font is White on a Navy Blue background!
Red has no significant association with Help For Heroes! and is just a crappy excuse given to justify the RED colour. We might as well have made the shirt with Turquoise, Brown & Magnolia Zig Zags and claimed it is for Haiti Aid!
As someone mentioed earlier in this thread ... Red clashes with just about half of Super League's base home colours ... Wigan Saints, HKR, Salford, Crusaders and probably others I have yet to see! ... This shirt will be worn about 5 times throughout the season at the most.
I have already given donations on various occasions to the H4H fund, and will continue to do so, but personally (and nothing to do with Man. Utd) will not be buying this poor excuse for a shirt!
Why oh why can we not use the Amber, Black & White on away shirts! Predominantly Amber for Home, and Predominantly Black or White for Away.
From the feedback I have heard about this new shirt, Help For Heroes looks like it might just about benefit by a grand total of £4
That's my little rant out of the way!

in keeping with a recent cas tradition the new away shirt is awful. if they wanted to make a charitable donation they could have done so with any away shirt, and not make up some excuse about in keeping with the charities colours.

i'l just buy the home shirt and donate to the charity any hoo. FWIW the away kit should have been whitre with a black and amber vee. the shirt could have incorperated the H4H logo on the chest, it would have probs stood out more that way.

Is anyone else bored with the whole Awayshirtgate business yet? We have been pretty much talking about it for three weeks now!
Surely there is something else to talk about.

Untill the season kicks off..... No

Well go on then .

Popped into club shop today plenty of away shirts in, i was surprised to hear that they are selling well.

Its red shorts/red socks too. Bet some of our "chunky" players will look great in it
