I take it we're okay to post a discussion about this as long as no one posts any pictures?

The club themselves released the mock up pictures of the new kit. Did they specify why they required it being removed? Is it something to do with it being copyrighted or with legal issues regarding the announcement of the sponsorship deal etc?

Or have they decided to go back to the drawing board with the design?

You can post pictures, provided you link to Saints website, where the picture is lifted from.

So click the picture for a link

Or so my understanding after chatting with the Media Manager at lunch time. I'm sure he'll tell me otherwise should I be wrong.

I really like that kit, it's growing on me anyway. I wasn't so sure at first.

Yeah it's ok to talk about it and show it now. I got the all clear this afternoon, but I've been in work so not had a chance to get back and put it up.

IMO that kit is appalling,the colour of the sponsors logo does not look right against the red V,and that is too narrow imo,i suppose the chav's will love it though

I guess I'm a chav then.

Damn. I thought I was a classy bird.

Don't let me put you off buying the shirt,my opinion is not always right
I once had a girlfriend that i thought was classy but my mates thought that she was a chav

That is a truly horrible kit.

It's dreadful, and no it's NOT because I'm a Wiganer.

Seriously HOW HARD can it be to get a GOOD LOOKING red V on a white rugby shirt FFS? But you miss the mark, almost every year, except last.

Yet again it needs pointing out that the above image is not an actual photograph of the shirt but an edited photograph of Roby from a previous kit launch with elements of the kit stuck on. The final product may vary from this image.

I'm not particularly keen on our current shirt. The new one looks fresher, cleaner and is different. I don't see how it can be described as dreadful at all.

only a fool would scrap the clubs most marketable commodity.

No it doesn't need pointing out. We can tell it's a bad photoshop.

As I said on another thread, or it may have been on facetard actually, I rather fancy that Saints are unconvinced with this strip and are gauging fans reactions, before unveiling a 'safe' design that's been kept in reserve.

Or rather, I bloody hope that's the case!

Evidently alot of people haven't cottoned on to the fact that it is not necessarly a true representation of the actual shirt, even if you have



Interesting point you raise though, but I suspect it is more down to Puma, or rather their representatives at Genesis not being able to come up with a suitable design and manufacture a test version in time.

Only thing I would change is a white collar, I really like it.

Saying 'Make that V a bit thicker and we're onto a winner' shouldn't be that hard

Better with white collar. Still not my favourite.

Here's proof that less is more in kit design...

Deary deary deary deary me.

The bizarre thing about that, is that Wigan will have briefed Kooga on what kind of style they wanted, and then Kooga will have come back with 10 or so designs, and THAT one got chosen.

those shorts are mental!

It looks so much better with a white collar.

This looks a bit better (shorts hidden)

No it doesn't






The wigan away shirt is much better. The home shorts are yuk. for want of a better word.

What's all that white stuff splattered behind O'Loughlin?

Saints kit looks a lot better with a plain white collar, far more classy
