There's no need to get defensive. If you read my several contributions to this thread you'll notice that I actually have a lot of respect for Wigan, and don't actually say anything offensive. Other than a genuine dislike for your most recent offering of kit.

In terms of the chant itself... I'm on your side. I don't do it specifically for those reasons. It's kind of along the lines of the "We Hate Rhinoooooos" chant (which actually just sounds like you're joining in with us.) It's all part of the fun of the match my friend.

I'm just gonna assume that all RL fans realise the stripes/Vs, etc on their kits were originally designed to make their players look bigger and more physically intimidating?

Yes clearly that's the case. The only difference is that we don't broadcast to the world about "shrinking the waist" and use words such as "fearsome".

It's not just a shirt. It's the public face of our club, and it's diabolical, like we've been twinned with Stade Francais.
I can only hope the powers that be read these boards and have the balls to admit they were in cloud cuckoo land when they chose it and get us a kit that the team deserve. What must the new signings think of running out in that? Would cost less to re design / get rid, than they will loose on sales.

I'm assuming these "disgusting efforts" are on the slow boat from China.......



If ever there was justification for Somali pirates to take it back to Mogadishu, then this would be it.....!!!!!!

The worst part about this kit is that looking at the design of it it's actually quite good but it's ruined by the colour scheme.

Can someone good with photo shop put the white hoops back in possibly to see what should have been?

This kit really is shocking, with the addition of white hoops it could be improved ten fold.

Worst kit in my lifetime. Horrible, just horrible.

The club should just change it to white stripes or all red and then it wouldn't be too bad.

I'll tell you whats embarrassing is coming on here and reading all this pathetic whining over a kit, Who cares what it looks like a kit is a kit, If you don't like it heres a tip don't buy it, but for goodness sake stop going on about how its not a kit the team deserves, or how must the new signings feel about playing in it the fact is as long as they win trophies in it i'm sure they'd play in bin bags. I for one know for a fact that if Lockers is lifting that trophy again next October the furthest thing from my mind is god it feels good to win it again but that kit is bloody awful and anyone who is thinking that needs their head testing. What we should be talking about today is how bad it is to be a Barrow fan right now to ignore a Challenge Cup Finalist Coach to get Big Fat Garry Schofield with 13 games worth of experience.
