i think i'll be waiting to see what the away shirt looks like. i don't think it would have been quite so bad without those white spots, but i'm definately not buying this one.

It's awful. Not sure what IL was smoking when he signed off on it.

Really hope that the away kit is a more traditional design.

Don't know what to make of it just yet.

Its interesting, that's all I can say at the minute.

Given the number of classic retro Wigan shirts I own, I never buy new shirts anyway.

Awful - worst shirt in living memory. Can't think of a worse one than that.

Why do we need a "break from tradition"?

Definitely won't be buying that shirt; let's hope the away shirt is better.

There's breaking with tradition...and then there's just plain stupidness...

Thats my view. I'm stunned.

I've just spent 30 seconds staring at it and...yep I agree its terrible.

Sort it out Wigan - post a choice of five or six designs on the website at some point during the year and ask fans to vote. You may not get a completely representative sample but at least you'll give the fans some say.

No doubt that will be something ''innovative'' as well.

They've made a real balls up here. On the back of the GF, merchandise sales were bound to shoot up, and as probably the most expensive item in the shop they needed to make it attractive to a lot of people.

I cant help but feel this is commercially a very, very poor decision.

Looks quite like the last years crusaders home kit nethertheless I am a Wigan fan and will be getting it as I've done since basically being born. It's not the best of kits we have had but the club can't please everyone it's starting to grow on me since I first looked at it. it's not the design of the shirt what matters it's what the shirt represents that matters to me more than anything.

What, no Champions badges on the sleeves?

Still looks like an artist's impression to me, suspect it will look quite different in the flesh.....
