I've been trying so hard to convince myself to get a new home shirt: growing on me, don't mind thrBFB sponser logo, don't look that bad etc - but I have to give in and admit its an expensive rag this time. Going to dig my old Bukta out

On the basis you don't know what you're talking about RE cost prices (as you've admitted), why accuse the club of deliberately trying to rip people off? You certainly suggested that when you said:-



That's almost as silly as suggesting the club will receive a batch of shirts and say 'you know what, some people don't like cotton. Some may even call it a rag. I know, let's drop the RRP of these shirts accordingly'.

You have every right to your opinion on an item of clothing and to vote with your wallet. However, again, it's out of order to accuse the club of deliberately trying to rip supporters off.

Has anyone seen the Leeds / Hull / Saints rep kits? As in - is it a Warrington decision to have a cotton and different style shirt as the "replica" or is it what ISC are doing across the board with all of their rep shirts?

Leeds shirt is 100% polyester
Hull FC is the same 60% Cotton 40% Polyester as us.
St Helens also the same 60% Cotton 40% Polyester
Don't know about Catalans.

just out of interest popped into the leeds shop today, and their replica kit is a perfect example of what a replica should be, brilliant feel to it, sponsors all looked good and material was nice, shirt matched the players exactly aswell, also no extra price for the larger gentleman!

all that i can see being the difference in the situation is the clubs, our club has messed this up, because isc, are able to make good quality kits, and are doing for leeds, so why are we allowing them to make anything different for us?

The ones in Asda look like ebay knock-offs (in that light)

You've changed your tune. Have you been convinced now?

never realised the difference in quality between our own and leeds'! its horrific! will not be a purchase, just gonna buy training gear and maybe an away top this year!

Just had a look while in ASDA, the shirt looks and feels cheap. Worth nowhere near £45.

At least when the club had the lower quality Halbro shirt for 1 of the Alfie years they gave it away free when a season ticket was bought. The club and ISC really need to question what they've done.

1st mistake is spoiling the designs with sponsors logos having backgrounds and the 2nd mistake is having that material.

Take a bow Wire, at least we have gone from being good with kits, crap on the field to good on the field, crap with kits.

Bring back Asics i say

the thing is they know we will buy them regardless

Still have this kit, still going strong.

Campaign to get Asics back.

My favourite is still the umbro kits from 88/89. Classic Wire shirt followed by 05 and 09.

I've got no issue with sponsors logos or even a slight difference in material as long as the rep shirt looks the same as what the players wear. What irks me is the fact that the rep shirt this year is a completely different shirt! Appart from the magical appearance of a collar, the colours are very slightly different shades, and the stripes are also different.

Reminds me of the fake Utd shirts you see in thailand etc. It's red, has a Utd badge, sponsor on the front and Rooney on the back. But that's where the similarity ends.

Hate the new home shirt for the fans. Crap material and just looks cheap and nasty. Going to check out the training range i think.

Well I've got one and I love it. Thank god for cotton shirts with a collar. Why people are so bothered about it looking exactly the same is beyond me.

Because that's the whole purpose of a replica shirt!

The quality on the 2009 shirts that someone has posted a rave review of above was diabolical. Admittedly it's the away one posted and the home one I bought (a week before Wembley as it was a one off) so they MAY have been different, but nonetheless the fit was shocking (fairly tight body, huge arms and collar) and although I only wore it once I wouldn't have fancied it's chances of good longevity as it got a couple of bobbles in that time.

I'm too old now to care about new shirts every year, but I occassionally wear my 1993-95 home shirt to work as I'm a bad scruff and it's still in good nick (I wore it absolutely loads at the time) and fits okay despite me being 14 when I bought it and 30 now.

Bring back Ellgren!

So you can imagine your one of the players yourselves walking out to the pitch, pretending to score in the dying moments against Wigan, imagining your parents are proud as punch you made it pro?

I don't care what the material is like on the supporters jerseys. So long as its comfortable and of a reasonable design.

If people don't mind if the design matches the actual shirt or not why do you buy a replica shirt at all, rather than, for example, a polo shirt which generally looks a lot better anyway and costs half the price?

Interesting take on the subject:

Even though I disagree with it!

I like the shirt.

It really is laughable how wound up some people are getting. It is still a Warrington shirt.

It's because they're charging more than ever before for a shirt that is a supporters version. Yes don't give us the fit and technical features, we don't need those but don't give us a shirt that looks different to what the players wear along with lower quality all for a higher price.

It's only because I'm disappointed that the club and ISC aren't making the most of what can be a very lucrative opportunity for the club and ISC.

The poll on the official site asking what supporters are buying stands at;

Total Votes: 1086
Home Shirt : 411 (38%)
Neither shirts : 278 (26%)
Both shirts : 231 (21%)
Away Shirt : 166 (15%)

has anyone told the club this?

everyone who isn't satisfied now. get on hotmail or gmail or w/e and send them a message saying you don't like the shirt.

no excuse.

i haven't had a chance to feel one yet. (I live in sunny hull)

Yep already emailed the club - mainly about using the wrong images in the first place on the website - they were soon updated

Their main point is that they never say that the shirts are replicas ...... read into that what you will
