NRL The 2012 New jumper thread

[Aucklander]

I'll kick it off with the Warriors ones.

Great to see the V back.

I welcome the trend towards more traditional styled jumpers. Here is Wigan's 2012 home kit:

Apparently they've gone for some Australian design for their away kits, though

 

[storm fan]

I don't know how that is a Australian design.

The new Warriors NRL jerseys look great, fantastic to see some colour back. The NZ Warriors are not a representative team of NZ, they are a club and don't need to have the NZ colours in there. Bringing back the red is great.

The shirt is produced by Australian kit manufactures ISC, sf. That's all I meant. Whether they actually design it, I don't know.

Warriors designs are excellent. Massive improvement in the 2011 variety

Wish they would go back to their real color though

 

[aidancdaman]

Likewise. If they just replaced the black with blue and renamed them the Auckland Warriors. One can only dream.

Otherwise vast improvement in last 3 years' home and away.

All 3 are superb and I especially like the red strip, but I wonder if their fans would agree.

Like Warriors home and away.

Sorry Moto, but I really don't like this strip one tiny bit. Looks like a kit for some bowling club

The alternative strip is much more appealing.

You Englishmen are way too conservative

I don't care much for the away strip myself, but like the traditional look of the home kit.

Last season things were getting out of hand with Leeds Rhinos playing in pink, FFS!

I fully agree with the positive comments about the Warriors strips too.

 

[meltiger]

Yep Wigan home strip is boss

What's with that disasterous away strip though

Warriors fans seem the love the new NRL jerseys but are struggling to find the connection between their club and a full red jersey.

I think the NYC jersey for the Warriors is a bit of fun and muck around, seeing what works and what doesn't.

Moto is from England, but what has a new Wigan kit got to do with that place down south?

Training jumper and uniform to be worn during the Women in League round.

 

[storm fan]

Would be a lot better with black shorts.

 

[storm fan]

Green one is training top.

 

[Aucklander]

Very trendy.

Awesome jersey, I really love it but those shorts are just too feminine...more black and say a wide pink strip at the side would be my suggestion.

BTW I love the Women in League Rnd. Trust me, us female league fans do appreciate it.

That is fantastic to hear and the fact that more and more women are getting involved Rugby League proves this. Women participation is growing at a fast rate. I also hear that before this growth of women in Rugby League, women in Rugby League were only 2% behind the number of women in Australian Football.

They do seem to sell well. When I went up for games last year I saw heaps of the pink jersey the JV wore against Canterbury

 

[Aucklander]

The Storm jumper for their 3 trial games.

Can be brought at Rugby Fever. Only a limited number available.

I'm glad its only being used for Trial games, because its simply horrid.

There was only one other Storm jersey that I really disliked apart from the one above and it was the one splattered with white thunderbolts across the jersey with a purple background.

Mind you I now have one in my cupboard, which was a birthday present.
It has sort of grown on me now and I have worn it a few times to games.

That Melbourne Storm trial jumper is THE worst jumper I have seen in any football code. Absolutely terrible.

I can think of a couple of others, but I think this one takes the cake.
Hopefully it looks better on than off and apparently its selling well.

Reminded by this thread, I checked the Wigan site and found that those nice red and white retro shirts are back in stock.I'm going to treat myself, but I'm going to phone up the shop first, cos many, many years ago, my then g/f bought me a Medium shirt, and it was absolutely enormous, and we had to send it back and ask for a small. I don't want the same thing to happen again. Bargain at thirty quid, anyway!
