The bottom line is you can't. I believe it has to be uploaded to some communal site like Photobucket or Flickr. Also, since the club isn't officially launching the new strips until this Saturday, I don't think they'd take too kindly to pictures of it being leaked on their own website prior to that date.

For those wishing to buy it, try some of the usual non-Tigers outlets. Apparently a lot of retailers are cautious and may mark down well as the last shirt did not sell.

I personally like Canterbury's stuff but didn't like this season home shirt. I didn't click the link in time to see the new shirt but hearing that it's bland doesn't fill me with hope!

Bland is good - providing it doesn't have another BIB!!!

Bland is ok,if it looks like a proper tigers home jersey.This does not.Its a glorified training shirt and does not represent-in my opinion-what a Tigers home jersey should look like. :smt011 :smt010 :smt009

Perfectly OK, traditional. Dull - yes. They had the purr-fect design in the undershirt flame stripes, just needed green. Canterbury/JD are largely useless.

This isn't the first time Tigers (or their kit suppliers) have produced a leisure shirt and called it a rugby shirt to try to boost sales by covering both markets. Dull, dull, deadly dull - and where did the black come from? The most repeated comment on here when shirt design is discussed is the wish for the return to the red green and white hoops. But hey, what do we know? All we have is money to spend, look how the 'charity' shirts sold last week.

My money was on the black/grey 'European' shirt being the next design with the 'stripes' being red white and green. I'll put my wallet away for another 2 years then.

First time I've seen it thanks Iain.

Better than the bib but definitely a T shirt masquerading as a rugby shirt.
I won't be buying one with a V neck but may well do so if they also provide a traditional collar.

The forum naughty filter won't let me fully express my feelings for this latest abomination.

The green, red and white hoops is a design recognised around the world as that of Leicester Tigers. Would you buy a Rolls-Royce and then paint go-faster stripes on it? Of course not!

They're not even trying any more are they, it literally contains the bare minimum we wanted to see from the last shirt and not a stitch more. I'll probably buy one just to maintain a bit of continuity in my collection and support the club but I can't see myself wearing it about much.
