New Kit design - unveiled today

[Grimlish]

Dontya just love the way 'merchandising works'?

When as a ST holder you sign in to the club shop site the current 10% discount available to everyone suddenly becomes your ST discount. In other words you dont get a further 10% off. So I have no advantage in store from my ST status. Hmmm. I suppose its not totally unexpected but it still doesnt seem right to me.

Just another raspberry from the club to its season ticket holders

Just purchased one of your new home shirts as a present for a friend, and I've got to say....it's a minger.

Would even know it's a Tigers shirt (or even a rugby short) from the back!

Apart from all the likes and dislikes with varying degrees of enthusiasm and vitriol above (by the way I think the new shirt is super), some advice for purchasers of the Classic/collared version.

Washing according to the instructions works fine (I didn't wash separately first but there was no hint of a run at 40ºC). However, when ironing the green of the main part of the shirt stuck to the iron at the normal setting for a 60/40 cotton/polyester mix which the shirt is. Had to iron it at the coolest steam setting (once I'd cleaned the iron plate, of course).

I know I don't know much about rugby but I didn't understand any of that.

Does anybody happen to know if they are going to do a traditional 'cotton' version of the new shirt?

I'd be surprised if they did. I think this is the nearest you'll get.

I did see what looked like a cotten version on a young lady at twickers on saturday , she was wearing a mini skirt too.

Personally I think that canterbury have listened to the numerous complaints about last seasons shirt being too flash and to teach us a lesson has gone completely the other way and given us a plain shirt with the minimal pattern of 3 thin stripes at the front.

Something in between would have been better (a few more or bigger hoops right around the shirt for instance.
Who at the club agreed the design of either or both designs. Or was it somebody at the club that decided the plain shirt because of the complaints regarding last seasons design.
Either way I don't understand why such a plain shirt costs as much as last years flash one .

Having given it some thought I've realised what it looks like, and someone may well have said this on one of the 173 previous comments, I don't know, but it looks like a lot like a (fairly odd) cycling jersey. Apart from the fact that it's a fairly boring sludge-green, which I hate because: 1.The colour has been changed, can you imagine Munster playing in burgundy? 2.When you look at a stand of sludge-green with black stripes, it it looks very dull.
