They're almost identical.

The England shirt should have been a red on white version of the Exiles one.

And Phipps, what is it about 2 plain white shirts that we're missing?

Exactly. People don't stop buying the England shirt just because it looks like a Leeds shirt, so why should the England RL shirt be any different?

Because the same sort of people don't like rugby league played outside the heartlands.

Edited for accuracy

Shot yourself in the foot there McPhipps!

????

You're a moron. I was backing up your original kit suggestion, you bloody idiot.

I think I might ban you.

I'll repeat my last post I think! Shot yourself in the foot again there McPhipps!

lol, you don't think two plain white kits have [ianything[/i in common? Not even, you know, their colour? Don't be too hasty in giving away those eye test vouchers will you.

For some reason I thought the England shirt still had the red trim.

I'd say the difference is there are proportionally more people who like RL and wouldn't want to look like they're wearing a Saints shirt (I'm not one of them by the way) than there are in football that would be bothered about looking like they're wearing a Leeds shirt. That wouldn't help sales.

I still think the kits could have been designed better... tied together somehow so that they actually look like they've been designed by one company with this game in mind. Perhaps the England shirt could indeed have been a red cross on white (though the messy/paint flecks style is always going to be horrible on a rugby shirt imo) while the Exiles version could have used the same cross design but but with Exiles colours. For me, such a design would have been a good visual representation of the essence of the Exiles game.

why tied together??

For the "Exiles spectacle" and the concept of SL players pitted against each other in this way.

A bit like this...

...only less .

Well working on that theory you could say that the current England rugby union home shirt is [ialmost identical[/i to the current Tottenham hotspur football shirt in as much as it's basically white.

lol, it's not a "theory". Two white shirts are, as a matter of fact, similar, alike, almost identical, etc.

If you ever witness a crime and your local Police force want you to try and identify the suspect in an identity parade I would think twice about it if I were you.

Here are 2 'white shirts'




My god.

They are more or less identical aren't they.

Yes. Except that isn't anything at all like I meant, and you bloody well know it.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Is it that 2 white sports shirts can't be alike because a white blouse is quite different to a red and white rugby shirt? Really?

Oh god.


Shall we just agree that 2 white garments that despite both being white can also be styled very differently (with additional colours, collars, sponsors logos etc etc) and move on and never mention it again?

Please?

THAT WAS EXACTLY MY POINT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

Honest to bloody God, I really do despair.

Seriously mate, just add the tool to your ignore list it really is like banging your head against a brick wall with him. We're on here to talk RL with other like minded fans, not to get into childish bickering with that weapon.

Ive just ironed 2 white shirts but I dont think they are identical. I might iron a third just to make sure.
