how cas have puma ill never know! wish we had them...

interesting we could of had the green kit last year, bet salford sold more away ones with that shirt

Would have made it a damn sight easier to tell who was who when we played at Bradford also

Isc.com.au go on and say u dont like.....the choice!!!!!

You don't want Macron

Not sayin no,fi-ta?? X-blades(Batley),puma,Canterbury

The problem being we are not buying just a set of kit off the shelf as an amateur or student side does, choice is not the real issue but how many kits we would be obliged to buy and by implication be able to sell, the amount of tops we seem to be lumbered with at the end of each season suggests we take in a big amount from Kooga and I'd guess ISC would not work on much different figures.

Have the feeling if we are to move on it will be with a smaller supplier who can accept smaller inital orders and produce more if required at short notice, the real problem with that being the likelihood of a small merchandise range but as I have said before Kooga's range for Ospreys is tremendous for us poor so its not the supplier per se that is the issue but our relationship with them and the amount of potential profit they see in the deal.

We would sell more if decent choice ??? I'd like some nice polos,training vests n tees for holidays and gym???

Sorry, but this assumption/rumour is absolute and total garbage. Ring the club and ask!

As the rumour came out of Salford it is entirely possible that the club did not know and Salford got offered two away kit options then we got offered the rejected one.

Untrue, it was someone at the club who designed the grey shirt!! [He's bribing me to keep quiet!

Fair enough guess that puts that one to bed but opens up another can of worms, lets hope he put his crayons away and let someone else design next season's effort.

Would love to see a claret shirt with a gold V. That would get my money, no question. One year it just might happen!

As it seems the club has more imput than most on here thought into kit design you would think views would be canvased or some sort of online poll or such like could be set up to see what people want and you would guess if their views were listened to it would see an increase in sales.

Fans have certainly got out of buying the shirt in great numbers due to lackluster efforts in recent years and hopefully it is something the club will try to turn round this time.

As leader of the fans group you owe it to us to spill the beans, just so it never happens again.

I think the away shirt was much popular than the majority on here hope.

The majority of people I know who have seen the shirt (supporters and non-supporters) like the away shirt and its use of modern colours and patterns.

I agree that the home one should be in traditional colours and designs, but the alternate should be something very different and provides an opportunity to be experimental.

For the record I always buy a new shirt each season and last year I went for the alternate one.

Honestly some people's dress sense

Biggest argument for going with a new supplier is that after so many years with Kooga, a different supplier could create fresh interest among supporters and re-invigorate the offer.
Kooga remain a prestigious rugby sports brand, despite recent loss of RL contracts. Can another well known brand replace them and offer better tems and service ? Are there smaller brands out there that could do the job -possibly, but is it good for the image of the Giants to be associated with an unknown manufacturer you might more commonly see in the Championship ? Probably not.

So someone with no dress sense and no idea what many people wanted- that should narrow it down!
The away kit was popular with the younger supporters no doubt-but if they do anything like this again they need to make the home shirt very traditional to cover all tastes. The home shirt was as uninspiring as they come- I bought one because it was either that or the one that looked like the pictures my daughter brought home from play group. If this years is as uninspiring I won't be getting one, ill wear crackerjacks retro home and away.

Daren't!!!

i have bought the alternative shirt for the past 3 seasons.. always preferred it

seems the grey one last year sold well too so well done to the club for being abit different after all the stick they got it paid off.

this topic is getting a few comments, and i was shot down for starting it!

Spot on, and I agree the home one was a bit poor last year.

Don't forget us younger supporters are the future

Alternative grey paintball shirt from last season was just horrible - sorry to say - may be they sold well but really do not like to see such a departure from our traditional shirts. Away shirts used to be just a variation from home one - mostly white with claret/gold features.

Consistency of design is important - who would ever know that the grey shirt had anything at all to do with Giants apart from our fans? Home shirt needs to be reasonably consistent also - time for a more retrro one I would say after some decent efforts in recent years to be a bit more modern.

Whatever next - god help us we may even get a pink shirt - that would never happen in RL - oh hang on

Rhinos already did that.

We are C&G and proud - stick with that - training gear polos etc... in black or white as alternative (not blue, or black/yellow, or red) end of!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nded!!!

players training kit it red..who would think they are giants players!!!!

been some good alternative shirts in the past, the white one i liked and especially the blue.

remember that black one too!
