It’s a pain for those of us who collect shirts! I’m still after last year’s Thor one as I didn’t get it at the time: I’ll pay £40 for any size, or £50 for a small. Drop me a PM.
Will probably have to buy an Ant Man one straight off this year, to save the hassle later of trying to get one on eBay or whatever. But it is both terrible and ridiculous. If only idiots like me didn’t buy them...

I only buy a shirt I like. So the last I bought was the A Johns chevron white.

I've just seen it.
I had my mind cast back about 30 years, to the days of Grange Hill's Zammo Maguire

| What a load of shyite. It’s been done twice now (one in the NRL and once at last year’s Magic), the fad has had its day. Since the club/ISC won’t have us in traditional Wire colours for proper kits, why not put us in a proper traditional Wire kit for Magic?:
(Shirts-Primrose and blue hoops, white collar; white shorts; primrose and blue hoop socks)
Do it like a proper old-school throw back kit. Like United did for a derby once:

Aww, you mean a shirt with a picture of a little bunny coming out of a top hat?
Or one with Paul Daniels on it?

| England did a centenary shirt a few years ago:
That was a good one. We actually had a nice Zingari shirt a few years ago too:
But both of these had sponsors plastered all over them. I’m talking, use modern materials and shapes (so have a white trim around the next but no collar), but have replicas of those old kits.
England RU did it a few years ago with this:
Now that is bloody lovely!
I’d love for Magic Weekend for the next five years to have teams wearing numerous old style kits, no sponsors, modern shapes and materials so they’d sell. Would be class! |

The two I’d have back for sure would be:
The Brian Bevan white kit with primrose and blue hoops on the torso and sleeves; white shorts; primrose and blue socks
And the one I posted above with Harry Bath holding the Challenge Cup with primrose and blue hoop shirts; white shorts; primrose and blue hoop socks:
https://youtu.be/uDKhUccSoc8
I know we had one for the 2015 WCS but it wasn’t quite right:
No white collar or trim around the neck (see Leeds’ home shirt this year), hoops were too thin, no white shorts and it had sponsors all over it. |

Come on, everyone, it's a bit of fun. ISC did this in Australia first of all and they picked up an award for it ( www.licensing.org/about/awards/previous-winners/) in 2015, one of few occasions where rugby league merchandise gets any international attention. |

It's simple really - if they sell well it's a success. If they flop then the club know they need to try something else. |

What's fun about it? If your idea of fun is that the team wear a themed shirt then why not do it several times a season. It'd be fun if players in different positions wore different coloured wigs. should we just just come up with any old idea because it might be fun. The fun in Rugby League should be from the enjoyment of the game and the time spent socialising when friends, family and fellow supporters. Other gimmicks don't add anything to the game.
If Marvel were paying money into Rugby League and the RFL/ISC/Marvel were generating interest off the back of it, I'd understand it.
It might have picked up an award in 2015 but these can be pretty much meaningless if the result isn't more interest or money in the game. |

From what I understand our contract with ISC is up for renewal and that the club is also looking at other kit suppliers.

I don't understand your objection. The club are paid by ISC for the right to supply the kit ( and sell replicas). This Marvel stuff won an award that brought it to the attention of that business world, one in which League is hardly mentioned and, sadly, Union has another lead over us. No-one is forced to buy this special edition, its cost is not added to season tickets. It's a talking point and it seems good enough for the NRL so why not us? Comparing it to funny wigs etc is your idea, not mine, though I do recall Leeds players doing something with their hair collectively in a cup run some time back. |

Whoever made Parramatta’s this season would be good.
They are better Wire kits than Wire have had under ISC. |

Asgardian13 is right. Whatever the old farts on here think - and I am not a great lover of the shirt - these Marvel films are massive business and if it helps recruit 100 young fans of the future it will pay for itself far more easily than an 1890s-style cotton shirt with no sponsors and a nice collar.

How about some retro shirts with popular kids shows from the 80s/90s? The confusingly homo-erotic He-Man and that ginger Thundercats dude? Not sure how sales would do.

Not good I guess. The Benson for Beds Teletubbies shirt bombed. |
