the only positive i do have is the sponsor doesnt look stupid on the shirt

I have to say that that is the worst Wigan (or any team for that matter) shirt I have ever seen. It's times like this that I realise how lucky I am not to be a Wigan fan.

No seriousley I can understand how you all feel about it. It is truly awful. Why they can't leave clubs shirts as they should be bar a few tweaks is beyond comprehension. We have only got a shallow Vee on our shirt this year but at least it is recognisable as a saints shirt.

F**king woeful! Bring back the 97 MS Paint Warrior shirt all is forgiven.

The annoying thing is, without the crap run in the wash effect, it would be a pretty decent shirt!!!

How many monstrosities have the club ordered! If it is say only a 1000 couldnt IL realise his mistake and order the rest without the 'run in the wash' effect and have a proper kit!!?!!!

It is pretty late to backtrack now I accept, but if the club dont do something fast they're going to lose a lot of money on what should have been our best selling kit in years on the back of a grand final win. IMO they will be lucky to shift more than 2-3k of these as most fans simply wont buy!

I wouldnt have that given me I honestly wouldnt....never mind pay 40 notes for it!

IL's first big mess up!

My thoughts entirely.
A huge sales opportunity missed by the club.
IMO the shirts are primarily for the fans really, as the players (i guess) wouldnt care what they wear.
Their job is solely to win trophies. As it should be.
Club blurb says- 'Breaking with tradition'
Question - Why? To impress who exactly?
Surely its that very heritage and tradition which helps make Wigan so famous as an RL club?
And at the forefront of that are the famous Cherry n WHITE hoops.
I really have no idea what they must have been thinking with this bizarrely fooked-up effort.
Marketing faux-pas of the very highest order.
And it certainly WONT be being purchased at Xmas (or any other time) - Now struck completely off the list for this year.

I dont think even the Cas shirt-burners would bother wasting a box of swan vestas on this effort!

Not half, the poor bugg3r does not know what to say.

The kit looks even worse when you see it with the BRIGHT red shorts. I am gutted about this strip, it is truely revoliting.

We owe Mr Lenagan a massive debt of gratiude for everything he has done and achived, but he really has dropped a b0110k with this design (I feel really bad saying that, so consider it more lovers tiff than a full blown fall out )

I wonder if there are 2 away strips and they were going to judge the response to this one before anouncing the design?, i am sure that they have always come anounced at the same time in years previous years?

It really needs to be a stonker

The shirt looks ok and i will be wearing it. I think its a hell of a lot better than some of the old ones, 2008 home shirt was awful, 1997 home & away shirts were awful, 1996 away shirt was the worst.

Re: New 2011 Wigan Shirt ( Favvers a melted Fab lolly ) : Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:02 pm  

Disgraceful attempt at a shirt. We have an identity and that is not it. A shirt is something we are supposed to be proud of wearing as they represent us. Truly horrific and £40 will be staying in my pocket guaranteed. That's now 3 seasons worth of shirts I've not bothered with.

Hate the thing, pity the sponsor is not Applicado FFS because that is what I think of this effort. Haven't bought a shirt for a couple of seasons, waiting for a good one and this certainly isn't it. Hope the away strip is something like otherwise another season in an original retro shirt. Why do the club not listen to the fans, surely they know what we want so they obviously do not read this site as we have been lead to believe.

merge if you like mods.

been in warriors world this afternoon and asked when will it be in there?
"about 2 week before christmas" was the answer.

well i was looking to buy my little lad a kit for crimbo, but with the uncertainty about actually getting one, and maybe not liking it when i see it in the flesh (might be too pink for a boy), i decided to but him a Liverpool kit instead for 25 quid as opposed to 33 quid.

so thats one sale theyve missed out on.

anyone else think thats too close to crimbo (as well as being vague about the actually date)?
and have they wasted another opportunity for crimbo sales?

Someone call child services.
