Now that "The Big One 4" has been announced is this most likely to be the round we'll release a charity shirt? All other ISC teams excluding Catalans who had a CC special shirt have released theirs. I know we've already had 3 shirts but so had Leeds (Burrows testimonial) and have just released theirs this week so I'd assume we'll have one too. Would you prefer us to go down the Leeds and Saints route of just changing the colours of one of the kits we already have, Saints have a red shirt with white "V" and Leeds have changed their away kit to green and grey. Or the Hull FC and Wire who brought completely different designs to their charity shirts.

Im not asking for one im just assumin we'd have one as every other ISC team has! Wire had the multi coloured one, Saints had home colours reversed, Leeds will have away in green and grey and Hull FC had a camo shirt which I'm not sure they've worn yet. So far I think only Wire have played in it but all others have been announced. Also the O'Loughlin shirt wasnt made to the same standard as the home and away shirts. Also as we announced Joining Jack as our club charity a few week ago I assumed we'll be having them as our chosen charity if we do released one.

If we do come out with a charity shirt, I'd hope that more than the frankly insulting 5% Leeds are donating goes to charity, they just seem to be using it as an excuse to raise more funds to sign has-beens.

I wasnt being funny btw even if it looked that way, I just dont think now is the time to release one when we've had 3 already. Personally I would design a corker of a shirt to be worn at the first home game of 2013 when we would do a massive Joining Jack campaign ala the armed forces thing.

IIRC I don't think we donated much more than that from our Pink top a few years ago ,
