Thats my view. I'm stunned.

I've just spent 30 seconds staring at it and...yep I agree its terrible.



Sort it out Wigan - post a choice of five or six designs on the website at some point during the year and ask fans to vote. You may not get a completely representative sample but at least you'll give the fans some say.

No doubt that will be something ''innovative'' as well.

They've made a real balls up here. On the back of the GF, merchandise sales were bound to shoot up, and as probably the most expensive item in the shop they needed to make it attractive to a lot of people.

I cant help but feel this is commercially a very, very poor decision.

Looks quite like the last years crusaders home kit nethertheless I am a Wigan fan and will be getting it as I've done since basically being born. It's not the best of kits we have had but the club can't please everyone it's starting to grow on me since I first looked at it. it's not the design of the shirt what matters it's what the shirt represents that matters to me more than anything.

What, no Champions badges on the sleeves?

Still looks like an artist's impression to me, suspect it will look quite different in the flesh.....

Thats a terrible picture. Everything looks photoshopped. It might not look too bad in the flesh.
Hopefully its setting us up for a proper Wigan Kit next year that'll sell in record numbers. How hard can it be to have a kit with simple unbroken cherry and white hoops, white shorts, hooped socks? Less is more suerly?

Will reserve judgment until i see it. When i first saw a pic of last years away shirt thought it was the dogs b*ll*cks until i saw it and then thought it was crap

It looks awful, the worst kit since the one that had the warrior face on it. Whoever designs these wants shooting, all we want is a traditional cherry & white hoop, christ its not hard is it

If the cherry and white hoops were proper cherry and white, and not cherry and pink, the shirt would be awesome. Cocked up big time on this one.

I know IL stated last year that he was trying to attract support from Manchester, didn't realise he meant the Castlefield Area.

Bradfords away kit is a "striking" purple, would love something different than blue or black. How about a green one like Bradford had in '05 that was an awsome away kit

Anyone else 'tried' to like it, and just can't?

just hope the training range is summat like as thats all i will be buying unless tha away shirt is better than that shambles of a home shirt

yep, just not doing anything at all. Hopefully looks bareable in the flesh

Whether people like it or not, where do the club get their research from?

Surely the best reseach would be on the terraces and on the forums amongst those actually purchasing the jersey.

If the club have nobody to do it, than I'd volunteer to help design 2012's for free. Seriously.

I think i'll learn to like it more if i see it with the World Club Trophy above it!! We really wont clash too much with St George in that kit. I still reckon we'll end up wearing our away kit though.

And i will give them their first clue to what people want ....... cherry and white hoops just like 85

i kind of like it if im being honest and i dont know why. but we might complain but thats not what we should be to bothered about, we are champions and we want to be champions again and being honest a kit doesnt mean a whole lot to it, its the badge upon the shirt on our chest.

The shirt does matter. If the fans don't like the shirt, then they won't buy it, and that will affect the club financially.

I really quite like it.

i know what your saying mate , but from a comercial POV it's pi$$ poor, we need to be encouraging people to by the shirt to enhance profit etc, and imo that does not do it

Top and bottom of it is, you cant please everyone. I wouldnt buy one if it was like the '85 one cos I prefer modern kits (but thats just me) i've said i wouldnt mind a break in tradition, but this isnt what i expected. But hey, the club have picked it and if were at Old Trafford and Wembley winning it all this year they could play in that dreadful warrior kit for all i care!

fair point mate .

it just lookes bloody horrific



like you say so long as the cups keep coming

1000x THIS.
