Speaking of logos, how good would this have been on a Wigan shirt...............

It would have looked awful. Thankfully some gobby keyboard warrior scuppered that deal.

It was NORWEB who objected to the black on the design. Said it took away from their logo.

Can we object to the yellow sponsor! They’ve missed a trick now having it in just black.

Interesting, I remember originally there was a big kick off at the amount of black on it and they changed it to red with a black outline.

And they had to ‘neaten it up’ to. Made the stripes on the chest squared off etc.
I was only a kid back then; funny what you remember!

I like the shirt. Reminds of a golden time of being all dominant on the pitch.

But...I think it fails on the golden rule. If you’re gonna remake something; but sure to make it better.
Personally I think the original looks better.

But but...it’s still nice.

Be interesting to see what the away kit will look like.

Hopefully blue and white squares or a bulldog style blue V.

We don’t want anything with a “V” I hate the two on the bottom of the new shirt, makes me feel ill thinking about it.

Speak for yourself ha!

I’d love the bulldog away shirt. Also loved the Milwaukee shirt. Nice to have diversity in design once in a while.

I agree with diversity however the thought of a V still makes my skin crawl

I agree about the Canterbury style kit but unfortunately Saints have gone with a blue and white V shirt as their away shirt this year. It’s a tough pill to swallow but their away kit looks excellent.
