I know what you mean but then for me the arm length is 1ft too long

Only thing missing on this kit is the recently announced shirt sponsor. In keeping with the recent Aussie signings at Odsal, SAGA (for the active over 50's) have agreed to sponsor the Bulls. Orford & co. (being senior citizens themselves) were seen as perfect to market the SAGA brand and will be visiting Care Homes around the Greater Bradford area this coming season (if they like the look of any of them, they will be welcome to stay).

Comedy genius.

What makes it all the more pitiable is that we now have perhaps the youngest squad we have ever had. Anyway, our overseas signings:

1 @ 24
1 @ 26
2 @ 28

1 @ 36

Put Beaver in a separate class - and that gives an average age of just over 27. Even with Beaver its around 28.8.

Now lets look at HIS club, with SEVEN overseas players compared to our six, and six of whom have 1-13 numbers. Leaving aside where that leaves their much-vaunted home-grown strategy, what is the average age there? Well funnily enough, guess what? I make it 28.8.

Wonder why he did not suggest a joint shirt sponsorship...?

Think we can give the December Muppet award to this comic?

At the poor Leeds fan. You know when your team looks good when Rival fans are looking for anything to criticize about it.



So you wouldn't take the Beaver at Leeds ? Even at 36 he's one of the top 5 back rowers in SL.

Just been to get a couple of tops, I was disappointed to find they are the original style modelled by Langley and not the style shown in the later pictures which were released.

If thats right then im gonna wait and get away kit

I agree, I think the Mk2 shirt definately looks better than Mk1

Now I'm confused, thought they were the same but the pic with Heath was done better? Pity if that's the case as I was going to pen a 'I'm warming to the new shirt' post

Think the away top might be the winner

didnt someone say the RFL had a problem with the shirt design as originally shown with langley. Something to do with the slashes interfering with the numbers?. If correct then the amended one l'estrange had on is probably to correct this and will be player issue. The original design had probably been already manufactured ( or at least the current batch). Wether the amended design ever becomes available as a replica shirt is an interesting problem for the club. Will certainly make any player issue shirts from this year available as prizes etc, real collectors items if the amended design is never released through club shop.

I'm not sure why they changed it but they definately did. I presume the top L'Estrange was wearing in the photo was a player top and Langley was wearing a supporters top. If that is the case the club should of made it general knowledge that when ordering a top you would receive the supporters top.

As previously said the stripes are different, the sleeves are longer, the RAB stripes are smaller.

As Said before mate a few times, i was told by the club the shirt was altered due RFL numbering issues, the way in which a number is stamped onto it was a problem with the initial design, particularly the angles of the =#FF0000R=#FFBF00A=#000000B blades.

So, does that mean that moving forward the design will be a la heath l'estrange pic but the club has stock of the Langley vintage?

I missed the posts detailing the reasons for the change btw

If you don't like our shirt for this year check this load of rubbish out!

I cant quite believe that if you buy a REPLICA shirt it is actually a different design to the actual one the players wear. Surely this misses the whole point in replica shirts. This will put me right off buying one!

a replica shirt thats differant to the ones the players wear

isn't that the the meaning of the word "replica" ? To replicate something the players wear? Maybe there's better technology going into the player's shirts and to let the public wear the same shirts would make the cost a lot higher? I've no problem with it so long as they look the same. I don't think anybody's fans will be wearing the exact same shirt as the ones the players wear unless they win a raffle.

from what i've seen of the 2 "different" designs they look pretty much the same. nobody's going to mistake which club you are following wearing one or the other.

Spot on there Philgee.

Im going to be taking mine back when the away shirt comes out and just a swap.

I don't pay £45 for something that the players won't be playing in.

Keep it in its box and take it on Antiques Roadshow in twenty years.

Or you can sell it on ebay in 15 years when it looks cool again.

I'll just swap them for the away shirt,. that way the club still has my money.

I thought they might go back to their roots - Red Shirt with Yellow V and white shorts

When i saw the pic of Le'strange it was a big improvment on the shirt Langley modelled but if its the Langley version i def won't be purchasing one..Has anyone contacted the club and complained?
