That's what I mean by a "break from tradition". Good shirt.

btw I don't see a "red V" I see two white ones..............

Being fair to the club, we have all said on here how much we like the all red St George shirts - they just messed it up.

Has anyone got a photo of the Milwaukee shirt. That and the Canterbury one are two of my favorite designs ever.

Also, some one in the East stand always has the Milwaukee shirt on, don't suppose it is anyone of here?

Slightly of topic

"So, do you come to Milwaukee often?"

"Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century."

"isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?
Yes, Pete, it is. In fact , it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

"I was not aware of that. "

Always think of this for some reason.

That could be me. I had some re-made by Optimum last year.

This is one of them



I also had the canterbury ones made too. They're really smart and great quality as anyone who had one off me will tell you.

Cheers Lee.

Just to add to what Matt has said above, i would be VERY interested in both these tops should you ever have a dabble again.

They are absolute Iconic RL jerseys imo.

Love my 'Canterbury' top with a big hefty blue number 4 on the back, one of my best ever rugby-related purchases!

.....to me....if its a break with tradition, this is more what the club should have gone for.....Would have sold bags as the Grand Final / WCC shirt, and has a little bit of tradition in it and is still club colours!

This is what I thought we were going to get after hearing a few rumours.....shame it wasnt true!

Lee,

That is a spot on top. Would have a good seller, for the above reasons.
