I think this is what shocks me the most. IL and the team at Wigan have made a series of great decisions since taking over, from playing and coaching staff, to marketing and other back-office tasks.
But that someone at Wigan has not only signed that "design" off, but more crucially has overlooked the opportunity to capitalise on our fantastic GF win by putting out a classic and slightly retro Wigan shirt the fans will go nuts for and buy in massive numbers, amazes me. As it is, sales will be fairly good initially as the habitual die-hards get theirs, but will soon trickle away.
There's a fine line between innovative and ridiculous. I don't even need to see it in the flesh to know that shirt is ridiculous.
Same thoughts here. They didn't even have to make it retro - just a shirt that was recognisable as a Wigan RL shirt! As Christopher said the traditional style of shirt is part of the brand of the club and very marketable. By sticking with tradition I don't mean the club can't try and bring in some modern styling but surely you start with cherry and white hoops and work from there!
