That is a properly smart shirt that i'd have no probs wearing with pride.
And, oh look........Its Cherry n WHITE!
Makes you wonder just what on earth Kooga's designers were thinking of?
And even worse, whoever at the club said 'Hmm...Yeah, love the washed-out look. Very revolutionary. We'll have that!'

Somebody should make sure that the club see this design, and take note.

IFL Take note???? i'm sure he will now you have poked fun..I like the shirt and i love what IFL has done for us so please get over it, and stop giving Wigan Rugby's new messiah poop..

The 18th Man will be dropped this season on the basis he will not wear the new shirt !

If your going to hold IL in that sort of light then he is basically going to have to take the flak that comes with it.

The foresight to change the coach and change the way the club is run has paid dividends after one year, but one of the biggest money spinners for the club is its replica shirts sales and on this basis your messiah has scored a massive own goal.

I think Kooga's designers are getting a hard time here. As a designer myself I'd imagine their design process is similar to the one I'd go through with clients. They'll be given a brief which they will have adhered to. They'll present their ideas to IL and Simon Collinson who'll then give them feedback and they'll come up with a finalised design together. Kooga haven't signed this kit off, the club have. It's the clubs design not Kooga's.

It looks like the club have asked for a break in tradition. I have no problem with this idea at all. The design that the club has gone for isn't to everyone's taste unfortunately.

At the end of the day people will buy a polo for £20 or a retro shirt for £30 rather than a new shirt for £45.

The club would do well to get some more retro shirts in stock sooner rather than later. If I can get them turned around in 6 weeks then I'm sure the club can get a few hundred sorted for the new year.

I just hope that the constructive criticism on this forum will be taken on board.

The club will more than likely summerise the success of the kit design by how many sales it makes but the club are very fortunate to have supporters who will buy the latest kit regardless if they like the design or not, so using sales is not a very good indication of supporters opinions of the design.

I hope next years kit design will have more input from the supporters.

Oh, and a supplier who is apparently focused on getting the Wigan contract for next year is Canterbury of New Zealand.

I suspect I'm in a minority but I would have loved an update of the shirt we played in against Warrington in Milwaukee. We also played in a white V against Saints in '66?
