We can see the 4th star, it's just that it's not on the shirt, it's the 1st one of 3 on the shorts!

yep sorry, i just edited my post in accordance as id just notice that myself!

I wouldn't have minded something similar to this



Black with three gold stars (each with a red outline)

Think the red and white striped sleeves look stupid

Can you buy these now or just reserve them? Also how long do people reckon it will take for them to sell out?

I can't believe anyone (other than dedicated collectors) would even consider purchasing and/or wearing any of this season's kits. It's rare that the club does much wrong in my eyes, but this season's kits make me cringe.

Can't imagine this selling out in Twelve Months time! May have done if it had been Cherry and White hoops that Wigan used to play in. And seeing as we are the home team why not make St George play in their alternative strip?
If the marketing team had done a proper job this year the club could have made a fortune.

the one thing i find weird is that yes st george will play in red and white, but you have an away kit, why not just use that? it doesnt clash with st georges kit in the slightest!

Well the home strip is White with big red vee - away strip was all red. So I guess thats what created the clash as both clashed with our home kit. But with us playing in predominantly pink, not sure it's necessary to change full stop.

A special kit will make more for charity is my guess. It's become an annual thing at Wigan to auction limited edition special game worn shirts for charity. They've done it last two years for the trip to France when Mecca Bingo was banned off the shirt due to local laws about gambling - but that won't need to happen this year now the sponsor is changed. So maybe this is the alternative?

It probably will sell out because its a limited edition, but I agree if they had done a cherry & white shirt they would have sold thousands & cleaned up.

For what its worth I think its a slight improvement on the 2 other attempts, but not much.....very tacky and whoever signs these shirts off are really letting the side down

Is that Peter Sutcliffe in your avatar?

Slightly OT but I'm just hopeful the club can get this beauty designed in the next few months ready for 2012.





Knock that out and it will be the best selling Wigan RL Shirt.

Ever

really hoping we get a thin hooped kit..like 96

hahahaha, you could say that, if you think about what he does to defenses! (penetrates) ill get my coat!

The kit is $h1te and whoever designed it and signed it off for one of our biggest games in 10 years or more have a lot to answer for. What'd ave been wrong with Cherry n white shirt, and red shorts and socks even - St George play in mostly white. Don't even get me started on the stars! We back in 1997 or what?!

I know, I know, some nutters like it for some reason, but surely a classic match against the traditional V of the Dragons demands a classic shirt? Like someone said before, how they've managed to give us three of our worst kits ever in one season is beyond me - and the season we go into it champions and play the Aussies; f00kin 'ell.

Thinner hoops for me with plain white shorts and hooped socks.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Yeah, maybe slightly thinner to accomodate one extra hoop.

Agree - white shorts, hooped socks.


Away kit: The same but Blue & White.


Would be class. We live in hope.

X2 and have it the same the next year but with a miniscule change either a new sponsor, v neck/ round neck/collar, slightly wider hoops then revert back to original year after.

We are so far away from our generic design its getting boring but hopefully it will be sorted for next year.

You won't be far off next years shirt...

IMO i wouldnt buy that. Its too boring and needs to be a sleek, modern design. Can't be doing with these boring retro designs (no disrespect to your design btw) theyre all too similar and need abit of something to them to stop them looking the same every year

Its not my design, its from the shirt thread. We have not had an official 'traditional' shirt for years and its about time we did. Three shirts we have been palmed off with this season and all are awful.

Decided I'm gonna get one. Balls to it.

I've pre-ordered one. It's the best of a bad bunch.
