St Helens new away shirt is now, the front runner for worst kit of 2022.....by a long way.

Home shirt is decent

In fact, I would like to retract my above statement. Its not the front runner for worst kit of 2022, its actually front runner for worst kit EVER.

I agree, Saints home kit is decent. A move away from the now boring flat vee design we've had recently was much needed and it's very reminiscent of Tonga, which in a World Cup year with our Tongan links is no bad thing.

The away kit I've sat and stared at in disgust now for ten minutes, just trying to figure out how a professional was paid to design that and how someone signed it off and how someone from Saints didn't vomit over it and refuse to let it be produced.Home Bargains will probably withdraw the sponsorship now as the shirt looks too cheap.

Ellgren have linked up with Wigan to reissue retro versions of their 1992/93 kits. They put a few images of other clubs shirts from the era on Twitter too, but didn't confirm if they'd be released or not, so I'm guessing not.

I know the Wigan shirts are obviously the most iconic and they're synonymous with success, but let's be honest, all kits from that era are miles better than the current ones, so every club will sell plenty if they link up with them. I've still got an original of the Wires 1993-95 vertical striped home shirt, but if they were to release an away retro from the same time or the previous red and green hooped one I'd buy it. I have zero interest in the current kits.

Oh, and I know it's supposed to be the team that matters, not the sponsor, and every club needs sponsorship money and should be grateful for whoever provides it etc etc etc.

I get all that. Nevertheless, if I was still of an age that I wanted the new shirt every year, there is not a chance I'd be walking around with Home Bargains written across my chest, or Cash Converters for that matter. Unlucky Saints fans.

I would gladly have your team mind.

Agreed the super leagues premier club running around with Home Bargains on it says everything about Rugby League, I'm not even sure it's an upgrade on the iconic brand Cash converters. Embarrassing.

Wrong, that would be Huddersfield’s paintball kit
