excuse my ignorance in financial matters (and sorry for derailling the thread slightly) but how is it that they are not serving lengthy prison sentences for fraud etc?

You took the words right out of my mouth when I was reading the article, god knows. What happened leading up to this is HMRC was investigating them in relation to its historic VAT position for millions and they then liquidated the company. All that seems to have happened to them is, they've been made to sell all their assets (houses, cars, jewellery etc) and any cash they had and the 2 directors, one got banned as a company director for 13 years the other 7 years. Unbelievable eh. Like doing loads of robberies getting caught and then having to pay a fraction of it back.

Sorry for the O/T back to the Kits.

lots of new NRL shirts and training kit coming through on here... https://www.advantagesport.net/sports/rugby/nrl-2017 probably my fave

Star 'I believe' had issues last season, Storm jerseys never made it to the U.K & were extortionatlly priced too, think they upset the Melbourne club & got dropped. I spoke to the nice lady at Down Under in Wigan & she said they would be getting them in. Need a trip to Wigan now.

New Salford kit

And Salford shirt launch video

The cluster of sponsors looks bloody awful.

Very underwhelmed after all the hype about it, as above post too many sponsors! Ruins too many a good kit.

A picture of it minus a couple of the front sponsors, looks a lot better! (Wine sponsors removed as it is a junior replica)

Looks better, but what's with the blue boxes around them, looks awful. Who at a club signs this crap off, just integrate the sponsors with the kit it can't be that difficult.

Not difficult but might well cost you money and/or a sponsor.

It'd only cost the difference between the value of that sponsorship vs the new sponsorship, assuming it was lower - it'll be next to nothing.
Plus, how much will those small collar/chest sponsors really be worth on a Salford shirt anyway

That is of course assuming there is another sponsor. It's not like companies are flocking to sponsor RL clubs


Fair point

Salford doing a good job of trying to win awful shirt of the year. Not liking that at all and I favour red kits. Awful just awful.

Who's in charge of the subtitles on that video?!



Absolutely comical.

I liked the Salford one... thought it was decent.

I'm kinda with you on that Jimmy, we've had far worse shirts over the years! Too many sponsors for my liking (but that's standard for us) but I didn't want to barf as soon as I saw it. Far worse kits out there IMO. It's a little bit different and might be one that grows on people. However, if everyone comes on here slagging it off I'll concede it might just be me with my red tinted specs!

I like the Salford shirt.
Nice effort

I quite like it. Plus it's got a sponsor that people have actually heard of

Regards

King James

It comes with the territory for us a blue chip sponsor the actual company and not a dealership, good job we don't have jim's scrap metals or a combination of letters no one has ever heard of .

Castleford away

I am looking at the Cas jersey and thinking I have seen it somewhere before.

Yes - you probably have. It's a slight variation of last seasons Cas Tigers away shirt.
