I like the England kit too. Less is more I think - it's smart. Bit like an England RU shirt actually.

Widnes 2014:

What's the star for?

From when Widnes were World Club Champions I think.

love that shirt lets hope we win the cup now

Nicely released in time for my birthday! Great, subtle design.

Cocktails?! It was straight Glenn's vodka and Stella when I was a fresher!

Luxury. When I were a lad it was Mad Dog 20/20

student loans pay more than majority of apprenticeship these days.

Is it bad that my first thought was, why is there a Chevrolet logo on it?

I get 3300 a year as my loan, considering rent & bills are well over half that, it's really not a lot to live on.




Wigan's kit is probably going to be different going on what Lenegan said a couple years back about 2 'traditional' kits followed by a different one. I like the idea of slightly diagonal hoops, similar to the Argentina RU kit.

It depends on your family situation really. When I started in first year I only got the basic amount, so once I had paid for my rent I had something like £17 a week. My rent was pretty cheap, but if I had gone to uni somewhere like Manchester the loan wouldn't have even covered my rent. Circumstances changed over that summer and from then received the full amount plus a generous grant, thanks to which I had enough money to go getting the train all over the M62 corridor to watch Warrington every week!

I appear to be in the minority but I'm not a fan, very dull. I prefer the previous England shirt

Not impressed with the kit, all together it is too plain, needs the socks to be all striped and more red piping on the shorts.

Completely agree just seems to lack colour

Sorry but as anewcomer to RL that shirt is tripe. I'll stick with wearing my British Lions one.

It's a little known fact but the star represents the 23 year period since widnes last won a major trophy.

England kit is just a plain white tee-shirt with Gillette written on it. Looks like they are going down the Union route, bit boring, but I will probably get one.

I agree with the last few posts, it looks nice when you see just the shirt as the amount of red is just enough, however, when it is worn, it is all white - bit boring

How old are you guys 12??

Its a nice plain classy shirt, wish the designers at Leeds United would have a look at this, they always want to but silly little stripes everywhere they can

I was thinking along the same lines.

Part of me thinks that the sort of person that wouldn't like this is probably the sort of person that thinks 'go faster stripes' look cool.

So it's just a plain t-shirt with the sponsor on, and it's a bit boring, but yet you would "probably get one"?

If you are that critical of it, why bother wasting your money?

I didn't say I didn't like it.

Anyway, most of my wardrobe is fairly boring so this will fit in quite well.

Common theme?!

I like the League one best of those three - it looks good to me
