DONT BUY IT THEN, SIMPLES

Some better pics on the website now:









Love the shirt, but think we should have had that as the Home kit (especially since its 10 years since we moved to the KC with a White and Black V shirt)

Another walking advertising hording! its a wonder there is room for the Club badge these days. i do find it quite amusing that people are willing to shell out 40-50 quid to be a mobile advert for other peoples companies. Its got very little to do with the shirt or the club now.

Rich Whiting should never be used as a model

The shirt looks shocking but the reality is that these sponsors are essential to every clubs survival. Clubs know that fans will buy shirts no matter what. In an ideal world we would just see one major sponsor on an un-cluttered shirt but those sponsors just arnt there at the minute.

Like the look of the away shirt and will buy one on Sunday.

As for comments from several on being too many sponsors on the shirt, what do you expect? This is a business, AP wants to make us the best team in super league and he needs to exploit every opportunity, not sure if there are any more than usually or just the fact the shirt has no collar has made some more prominent, but personally don't give a flying one, I'll be wearing the shirt to support my club, the fact that there are some sponsors names on there is immaterial (to me)

A beaut aswell

It'd be a nice shirt if it wasn't so 'busy' with sponsors.

Oh good - someone else who doesn't understand how sponsorship works.

get over it, and think yourselves lucky www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009 ... attendance

We should abolish virtually all shirt sponsors. I'd happily pay £40/50 a game to make up the clubs revenue!

I understand how sponsors work and i understand that without them the club would struggle but i do also think that sponsors get enough exsposure as it is without been plastered all over the replica shirts, im not saying to not have sponsors but it would be nice to have the option to buy a shirt without them, lets face it how many times have you seen someone in a replica shirt and looked at the sponsor(thats if you can even read it from a distance) and then bought something or used that company off the back of seeing that sponsor and most rugby league club sponsors are local companys so there mostly irrelevent unless you live in that area i.e kc lightspeed.

Most people who've been critical aren't criticising the concept of kit sponsorship, just that it can spoil the look of the shirt. The look of the shirt is mostly what this thread's about afterall.

All SL clubs have the same amount sponsorship on their shirts & have done for a good few seasons now (collar, sleeves, backx2, main, chest). I'm not for one minute saying sponsorship is a bad thing, just sometimes I think it makes the shirt look poor, whereas on some shirts it's less noticeable.

Do we not buy it as a replica of the shirt worn by those on the pitch if so - well enough said

Not a fan either jerseys this year tbh .

Agree, both a bit meh.

Will spend the £50 on summat else in the shop or towards an away game

I like the away better than the home, but not sure I'll bother yet. Maybe do a 3 nighter in London

Cause i know how sponsership works, patronising or what?


If you feel you are supporting the club by shelling out £40 quid on a walking hording for their sponsors then good on ya fella

Got the away shirt today - very smart

dont like the home shirt. but they away shirt is better so a belated christmas present off the daughter is now hanging in my wardrobe.

just thinking same! looks like a nervous kid in a disco.

Hello my names richard, whats yours.

Same here, quite underwhelmed. I'll buy a couple of polo shirts instead, I think.

It's gonna be a year full of "are you widnes in disguise?" chants!

Widnes will wish it is

Haven't seen the shirt in the flesh yet, so can anybody please confirm that the collars on the shirts are as the shirts modelled?
I've always preferred that style but our shirts normally come with a proper collar (as on the home shirt).
