When I first saw the pic of Atkins, Riley and Moz I hated both the kits. Just seen the pic of Chris Riley in the League Express wearing the home kit and for some reason I like it much more than I did originally. Looks like a decent shirt.

The kits are great IMO. These are the best kits we have had in ages.

I don't care what the replicas look like as I don't buy replicas anyway but sounds like the club is being smart by using the collars to differentiate the products so they can charge different prices. The club wants to be able to identify who the rich customers are and charge them a higher price. But they can't ask people when they walk into the shop who is rich and who isn't. So they produce two pretty much identical products differentiated by a subtle detail (in this case the collar), that will matter enough to customers to make sure they all accept one product as being superior to the other. Then the fans that are richer and bothered enough about the small detail then reveal themselves by choosing the superior product so the club can charge them the higher price. The fans that don't have the same disposable income and don't care so much buy the inferior product with the collar on. If they don't value the inferior product enough to pay the price it's priced at they won't buy it.

If the club has priced the one with the collar too high then they will lose out because people won't buy it but as long as they buy it then the strategy makes sense, even if customers complain about it on the internet.

If you just had one shirt priced the same then you're missing out on the potential income you can get by exploiting the fact some will be willing to pay more for it so buy issuing two versions you increase profits by making those customers reveal their higher willingness to pay by choosing the more expensive shirt.

All sounds sensible to me.

^ This.

Been in tried it on , don't like the collar but it looks n feels great . Paid n ordered printing but have to wait until squad numbers are released this week until they print it !

squad number?

My Money is on padders having Bridge 4

Not been down the club shop for a bit, does anyone know if the Australia Tour 'Fly Emirates' jerseys are still for sale?

Not sure if anyone caught the Ben Westwood testimonial shirt but it's very nice:


Quite similar to the one we played in during 2002, Benny's first season with us:

A good picture of it:

How big are his quads!

They must have asked Atkins to do the "come on then???" pose.

i wont be buying one at them prices..the club knows where they shove em...hope it fits as well

Slight tangent but as this thread is about clothes it looks like Wigan have signed some sort of deal to promote "fashion" website Jacamo:- www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/page?pageI ... iors_intro Presumably this is part of their move away from trying to move away from selling their "fashionable clothes" from large, pub type blokes and more towards the upwardly mobile man about town. Jacamo I mean, not Wigan. Steering back toward topic, there's more training gear in the shop than there is on the website if anyone is interested. I'm in town on Friday, might nip in and get some. And when I say might I mean, I absolutely will.

Don't intend to buy the Wigan stuff, but the Mrs keeps complaining I wear old clothes (that still fit and aren't worn out yet, so why should I?)

I imagine lots of fat tramps have, yes.

It's funny that a shop for fat b*stards have chosen to advertise using representatives of St Helens (Jonny Vegas) and now Wigan as well. We just need someone from Widnes now to complete the set (I was trying to think of an example to use but I literally can't think of a single famous person from Widnes).

The only thing famous about widnes that my mother in law keeps reminding me of is that paul simon wrote a song at widnes station you know the one about finally leaving and going home

Majority of the south, then. Still amazes me that the majority of our town can turn a pair of loose fitting trackies into a pair of leggings.

Mel C

She's from Rainhill.

She went to school in Widnes and I'm pretty sure she lived there. I knew a couple of lads who went to the same school.

Yeah she lived on ireland street in halton view

People move house. I'm not from Heald Green and Mel C's not from Widnes.

The Paul Simon story is true mind. I'm sure Widnesians are more than happy to be able to say their town's claim to fame is a song about dreaming of leaving being written there. They don't need false celebrity claims as well!

Generally most people will say they are from the place they grew up in; say from ages 6-14. My missus was born in Liverpool and moved out when she was around five. She'd always say she was from Widnes though.

Mel C went to infants in Runcorn and then juniors and high school in Widnes so she must have moved out of Rainhill at a very early age. Reading a couple of interviews with her, she seems full of .

It's a good job nobody's monitoring internet access at work. Imagine being caught searching for Mel C facts.

I say i'm from Warrington, but i'm from Golborne, what's the harm?
