Even if there are more on the shorts, they will be on display on the night and thus make a mockery of the symbolism...

Jesus wept

Looking closely they are on the shorts. If you zoom in you can see. That's still stupid.
The symbol works works on the shirt alone (fans) but will look daft on the night...


Appologies for multiple posts (against editing and adding to my original post). I'm on my phone

It's not bad, but it's not good.

Does look a tad 20/20 ish

That's how I felt.

I'm slightly swayed given the one-off nature of it though.

I like it. Everything in block, safe colours and no Kooga scribbly crap.

ye pal, there are 3 stars on the shirt and 3 on the shorts,

Well then, the shirt works. The kit doesn't. Idiots!

Anyone got info on ordering this? Like someone has already said, cant seem to see it on the wiganwarriors.com shop (though its not the best online shop I've come across well... even today!). Have people had more joy phoning up?

I'd assume it'll be put on the website when people get into work at 9.

Correct. No need for them to be on the shorts. No real need on the shirt really other than above the badge and to me they look really tacky. Sort of 'arcade game' like.

Don't mind the shirt but the stars on the shorts just add confusion.

Correct.

Like it, and will be reserving one shortly. Its much better than the regular season kits.

I agree about why would they put the stars on the shorts? Making a total of 6 stars (9 if you include the ones over the badge)

Another dud for me, all the stars make it looks like a chavs neck.

Or Hock's elbow.

Going slightly O/T... What is it with all these star tattoos?? It must be easy money for the tattooist.

"Nautical Star tattoos are very commonly used in the gay world to denote homosexuality. They are often placed in a location that can be easily concealed. For example, one could have the star tattooed on his/her wrist, allowing them to hide it (with a watch or long-sleeved shirt) by day, and reveal it at night at the bar/club."

"The nautical stars were originally used by sailors to help guide their way as they sailed through the night. They relied upon the stars to protect them and bring them home safely. A lot of soldiers get nautical stars for the same reason: protection."

"They symbolize protection, guidance, loyalty, and honor. They can also symbolize prestige or a higher rank in the military."

"Back in the day sailors would tattoo nautical stars on them because they relied on the stars to take them home. So in that case the star would be a symbol of guidance. Now as time has passed the nautical stars represent the direction of ones life. If it's pointed upward they have a higher outlook on life and so on."

"The meaning of the Nautical star is to create your own path, but use the stars as a guide when you are lost or scared."

So they're for gay soldiers?

It'd look great if it weren't for the massive stars. Nice nod to the cherry and white on the sleeves, three stars above the club crest, avoids a clash of colours with St George, great bit of merchandising having a one-off shirt that SHOULD sell well... but, yet again, someone in the design department at Kooga appears to have forgotten to put the pen down at an appropriate point.

"Ooh, it looks great, but there's a great big blank patch across the middle of it - what can we fill that with??"

The answer should pretty much always be "Nothing". Yet again, it seemingly wasn't.

It would seem that way.

not sure what all the fuss is about the number of stars, even if there were only 3, it'll probably be wrong by the end of the game

Is there an option to add a 4th if we win

This is an wigan / saints game with a difference lets just worry about adding a 4th big gay star to the collection and then we can all sing to YMCA at the end of the night

Hmmm. Interestingly, one of my best mates has five stars tattooed around his nipple.

Unfortunately for him, he hadn't considered the phrase "Five Star Tit".
