Despite being a Wigan fan, I really like this season's kit of yours, as it's a similar design to the one you had the first season I really got into watching rugby league in the mid 1980s.
For me, Saints kits 'should' be one of the best out there, but for some reason your designers can't seem to get good proportions on the design. 3 years ago, for instance, you had a V that was too thick and very low in positioning, meaning the sponsor was on the belly button.
The season's after, the V looked like an afterthought, tacked onto a ready made design, and had the added effect of making the players look fat and out of shape (when they clearly weren't!), whilst the red collar made the players look like they were wearing dickie bows. Last season, the V was so shallow, it may have been the pre 1960s band. The black version, however, looked great.
Supposedly, the V was originally popular on rugby kits as it is supposed to make the player look bigger around the upper body, but you have to get the proportions right. St George, and Warrington last year are good examples, for instance.
