6 out of 10 and would have bought it, but not this time. With a new kit supplier I was hoping for a return to 100% cotton for those of us who can't wear polyester. Classic shirts are 65/35 presumably to cut costs. I used to buy all our new shirts. let's hope the cotton trader shirts last another six years.

Liked last year's shirt and bought both sorts(didn't buy the orange 'Away' shirt as I always wear traditional home shirt for away games!) This season's shirts look good and are reasonably priced. For me Cotton traders shirts were always overpriced-especially the non-iron sort! The Canterbury range, apart from the bib shirt, was of a good quality and design but for once the financial deal made with Kooga seems more like the deal a club like Tigers should get. With no millionaire backer the club needs more deals like this. The polo shirts look great so I will certainly buy them as they are good value compared to good quality polo shirts you can buy on the High street. Having said all this my wife bought me the Ayerza testimonial shirt and it is fantastic.

The classic cotton traders shirts used to cost £40 and last forever! I don't see how a lesser quality shirt for a tenner more can be seen as good deal.

I like it. But as I am an infrequent buyer of merch that probably isn't very relevant.

The pattern of the new shirt cannot be reproduced on a traditional cotton shirt, and that is why they are all polyester.

I just ordered my new shirt, which I think is the best looking one I've seen in several years - the Marcos Ayerza testimonial shirt!

So far I've heard nothing but praise for the home kit revealed so far, my main worry is the alternate and European kits and the fact that a lot of our games are on a Sunday where I mighty have to use East Midlands trains to get to Leicester because of car problems and if you've travelled on a train on a Sunday you'll know what I mean.

They don't keep me happy but then I'm not a fan :smt003

For those not keen on the fade there's the 'Classic' version with a traditional collar. The white sleeves make the design very clean and unfussy and for me it's the best effort since the black European shirt. It might be on my Christmas list :smt023

If what I was told tonight was correct, and it was a very reliable source, the away kit ought to be popular...

Some will like it, some will hate it others will be ambivalent.

But will they buy it???
