New Kit design - unveiled today

[Darc Tiger]

From what I saw of the fleeting 'trylights' on ESPN, the new shirt looks quite nice on the players to me.

despite me saying I didn't like it etc, it did look good on the players and grew on me as the game went on.

£55 is a lot for a t-shirt

[St John Tiger]

Not good, really needed something much better after the last one. Looks like a London Irish cast off(as mentioned previously.)Pleased I bought a few of the last Cotton shirts. Little thought has gone into the design, better to go back to a classic Tigers shirt.These will not sell well and will be heavily discounted by Christmas.

I think it's a big step up from the previous one.
The last kit I bought was a Bradstone one, so I'm due another - I'll probably get this one

[Smurphswillgetya]

I think it is time my Tetley bitter shirt came out. It looks so colourful in the late May sunshine

With the shirt being a solid block of green with single thin hoops, all that jumped out at me on first viewing was the sponsors' name in white across the front although I suppose that is the plan. However, Mrs Beej did mention the players' names are now easier to read.

I'm still not buying one though.

[Tyzot]

I have bought one. passes my - could I wear it down the pub - test.

The pro (size L) is a big snug compared with the others I have owned - so be warned if you order on line.

Does seem that the designers (for want of a better description) have reacted strongly to the feedback and possibly lower than expected sales by going from very adventurous to very safe.

[Eon B]

It's a very acceptable shirt, although overpriced and I would have no issues with wearing it as general leisure wear; last years was probable fesrivalwear for the physically lithe.

It's not really a Tigers shirt.

Yesterday's match looked like one between a team dressed as Irish and one as the barbarians (I think they have used grey and white hoops). Sadly Irish were not the side looking like Irish.

Looked a lot better in real life than on the various photos. I may yet be tempted when the classic is available (the girl in the shop said she didn't know when)

The problem is that if they do a "classic" tigers design, then a lot of people will see it as similar enough to a previous one not to bother. They go for something unique each time to appeal to those who will buy it regardless - just as the "sainted" Cotton Traders did between (about) 2001 and 2009.

Far better than the 2003-2005 and 2007-2009 shirts IMHO.

It's available from the Canterbury website. Nice to see they've omitted the Caterpillar logo - the printing on the classic shirt last year, as opposed to the sublimination in the pro/test (albeit obviously impossible on a cotton shirt), and embroidery on the old CT shirts, was a real let down.

Sadly this year's classic is again a 60% polyester/40% cotton offering, which is a downside to Canterbury shirts, as it'll bobble and wear worse than the older cotton shirts.

Without the CAT logo, it is just an item of clothing, and indeed is in Canterbury's fashion range.

I want a proper replica shirt to show people which team I support! The more straightforward design was supposed to be able to be reproduced on a cotton shirt, and it is very disappointing that this has not happened, after Kitbag said it would!

Yeah, but with the quality of last years and it's printing, within 18 months the shirt would look the same anyway!

I think the current one is innovative and very differet. I would like to think that sums up Tigers.
The new one is plain, boring and certainly does not differentiate from the normal rugby shirts. I hope this does not any new approach that Tigers maybe thinking of with imminent coaching changes!
Seeing these new ones pushed me to try and buy the one we have played in this season but none on sale so no monet for Kitbag from me!
