Canterbury do do nice stuff although I seem to remember the Europe branch was struggling and Warrington were looking for a new supplier, how true I'm not sure.

One of the big brands would be nice but other than Catalans I can't see it.

So long as we have a shirt and it's half decent I don't really have a preference

Frak Bird in Cross Sq does a nice line in shirts.

Sorry if I've missed something but what's goin
on with kooga and how come were getting a
new shirt? Heard something at the game last week about binning eric France has this summat to do with it?

we are binning eric france????

Was just something I heard last week dunno
how true it is.

binning eric france ? why ? they will just go in to administration again and still cough the cash!! who will be headline sponsor if we do ?

Eric France wouldn't pull out of Wakie, if anything i think he personally has bigger designs on the club that have been waiting in the wings for some time, partially due to us & our current regime & partially due to his other sporting commitments.
Why would he want to part company with his best source of advertising?

As far as I know ( and it ain't much ) - canterbury have gone bust and kooga are soon to be going the same way ( which may explain the no shorts , socks and of course medium shirts ! )

was looking at some boots for the lad at batley sports warehouse where I normally get them, they too close in october so went to soneka in ossett, while looking at some Canterbury boots he told me that they had gone into receivership, sad for all involved

this recession hasn't even started to bite yet

New shirt suppliers is Prostar.

I agree I hope it is better than Featherstone's.....it looks cheap, thin and too bloomin shiny!

Now the designs.

Home shirt.......mainly white with dark blue sleeves and a red band on the chest to each arm pit.

Away shirt.......all dark blue with a red pin stripe, horizontal.

A sponsor has seen the early designs.......they are picking their spot on the shirt!!!!

Local business so that’s a good thing, however the material and design quality are yet to be seen so I am a little apprehensive about that. Blue Fox were by far the worst kit manufacturer the club has had in the recent past for awful material and shinny shirts.

The deigns sound interesting so fingers crossed.

I think Prostar are a company that the club are going to have to work with in order to get the kit right. They seem eager to get into other sports than their main stream of football, but they have limited experience. Hopefully this could be the start of a relationship that is beneficial to both clubs but I get the feeling that next years shirts aren't going to be ground breaking.

BRING BACK ADIDAS!

Best kit we ever had.

We can only hope. Unfortunately, I think we are more likely to see the return of ‘Beaver’ as kit suppliers rather then ‘Adidas’.

One thing in Prostars favour, it won’t be hard to top the designs of the current season’s shirts.

Correctomundo Adidas was the best ever, traditional colours home and away and call me old fashioned the cities coat of arms as it's badge...those were the days.

I agree Fevs kit is atrocious..their pirate badge is as bad as our cat.......it does look cheap and "nylonie". Would be nice if they did like a playing version and a cloth supporters version.

If the design as indicated above is true the home kit is as near to our traditional colours since our promotion winning shirt when we were sponsored by White Rose.

Surely Ted could do a deal with a brand Marks and Spencers use he is in there enough.

Agreed, even at £15 I won't bother! Hopefully the new shirts aren't made from cheap material, and if they are, I wonder if they'll still be £45 a pop.

Totally agree about the adidas shirt - I've got an away one and have had lots of comments at the games about it . This is the design we should base our shirt on - I think the club would shift loads , unlike this years abominations

Don't see why the club don't do what Cas do and let the fans vote on which one of a number of different designs they prefer.

That way you are guaranteed to get the best take up of replica sales.

I am a big fan of the home being white with a red band in the middle flanked by two blue stripes either side like it used to be many years ago.

Have a traditional home shirt and then whatever the hell you want as the away kit- look at Dewsbury this year - spot on .this must be the worst season ever in the s.l. era for kit design

agreed the dewsbury home one this year is great, though frankly the kit ill have most fondness for is one we win in!

no - 2001 - with the sown on badge, pure white with Sainsburies across the middle - people used to say it looked like a damn carrier bag lol.

Favourite was the black and white away shirt we had for 2000 i think

So is the reason why we havent retained kooga due to their financial state and not ours ?
