I agree.

I am very disappointed with the quality of the material in this years shirt. Shiny plasticy rubbish. Just feels so cheap. Shirt was a present, or despite the great design, I would have thought twice about buying it.

£45? Tbh for that quality of shirt, take the Wigan logo away and it's worth £3 tops. I shudder to think how much it actually cost to make. £1 maybe?

I would happily pay more for a 100% cotton replica that offered a bit of warmth in winter and didn't make you sweat in the summer.

Still, given the amount of sales, and the likely massive profit margin, I doubt the club will change it's strategy.

Leeds are selling 'authentic player quality' shirts for the first time this season, and I think saints are as well, both our kits are made by isc too. The club says its because they were in popular demand, so maybe if enough Wigan fans suggest it to the club they'll bring some out this year or next year?

I bought one the other day for 65 quid as I haven't been too happy with the quality of our replicas for the last few seasons especially not when they're so expensive and I can say the player quality ones are far better. Nicer material, better quality in terms of sponsors and logos not simply plastic bits on the shirt and a nice tight fit too.

Would recommend them, if Wigan ever bring any out!

Seen about 4 different people out and about in the new shirt today.

It looks like plenty of people got them for christmas and the shirt really should break all records. It's a classic on the back of us having some stinkers whilst having success on the field.

It's already a record breaking shirt with over 5000 sold announced a week before Christmas.
I saw three sold in the fifteen minutes I was in the shop a couple of days ago, so they are flying out it seems.

And flying back in it seems. Has any one washed their new shirt yet? Got the two kids a new shirt for Christmas and paid through the nose for one for our 10mth old baby only for it to fall to bits on first wash. When we returned it i got told that they cant keep up with the amount of shirts being returned with faults.

The quality of the shirts are fine, it's just the stick on club badge and sponsors logos that I think could have been done much better, especially for nearly £50.

Got the away shirt for xmas and had to get 3 sizes bigger than usually would for a comfortable fit. The club badge looks like its stuck on but on inspection its sewn on to the shirt
