Saw them at Elland road in the 80's when they were supporting U2, sorry but they were crap that day compared to The Mission and the excellent Pretenders (ooh Chrissy Hynde), each to their own though.

Bought the home shirt today, nice fit though the neckline is a bit snug (like the 2009 Kooga home shirt but this one is elasticated), but like my shirts tight so no problem, piping not as bad as I thought it might be, material is not quite as thin as last years home shirt and seems better quality, embroidered Rovers badge, Burrda logo and Hirebase logo (main sponsor) very good quality, other sponsors are printed on, overall a very nice shirt.

Having seen The Fall > 20 times over the years, I can honestly say they are a National Treasure, just not appreciated by their own. The Mission? Pah, pathetic Sisters of Mercy spin off project with poor make up skills.

Sorry boss, thread drift. Not seen the kit yet (photos look ok, but need to see one in the flesh). Might go to the club shop on road tomorrow.

Can't you do anything by yourself? You'd better crack on if you want to finish by kick-off.

Do you have hearing problems

only joking, that's why I said they were crap that day, they must have improved over the years, havn't followed them since, the Mission were better on the day but again not a fan and didn't follow them either, the Fall were the only ones to get bottles thrown at them by the idiots at the front. Pretenders were very good and U2 out of this world.

You should definitely have a look at the shirt and try one on, certainly better than last years home but that wouldn't be hard, thought last years away was really good and far better quality.
My kids will be getting them for xmas and think I'll get the away shirt, pennies permitting.

Hussey's not Fussy. Doncha know.

I feel like I'm letting the gingers down but...

No, I can't do it.

This is my every year post.

All rugby shirts are awful.

Which has what to do with The Mission?

Who are Hire Base??

They hire out bases

Having seen a few people in the new shirt at the weekend I have to say what a massive inprovement it is on our last few years shirts. looks like a HKR shirt for once and the band going all around the back looks good as well. Was waiting to see it before deciding whether to get one or go for a replica '80 shirt but this has made my mind up I'm getting the new one.

Just bought the home shirt, very pleased with it.

100x better than last season's, seems good quality too, top stuff.

Is it thick material roofs or similar to last seasons material

Roofs would love the new kit even if it was made of loft insulation, just for the fact that it's white with a red band. Eh Roofs?

Ew now that wud be itchy and scratchy and not gud at all

Similar to last season's really, but ever so slightly thicker perhaps (though not really noticeable). To me it feels like a better quality shirt, though maybe that's because I dislike Kooga.





Anyway overall I think it's an excellent shirt and reckon it'll be a huge seller.

Being really picky it would have been even better without the piping...

or the 'strangle-me' neckline...or the narrow band, which needs to be higher or wider

very nearly a Rovers shirt but not quite

How do the sizes compare to last years, or previos Kooga ones?

You'll need an XXXL squire, unless you've been on another of those crash diets at Chateau Marmont?

Fair play to them, first time the Rovers shop has had proper baby kits in for a while. Not that I used to look.

Might get one.

Mine is very similar to last year's Kooga home one, just about 1/2 inch to 1 inch narrower (if that's a word?!



) when you lay one on top of the other.

I'll have you know sir, the only way I shall be purchasing a shirt for myself is if they bring out s player style second skin type fitting that hugs every contour of my Adonis like physique. I was merely trying to avoid having to take the ones bought as presents back to exchange them, as I find dealing with ou
r retail department tends
to be like sticking pins in my eyes!

Cheers Roofs.
