The Club is looking forward to getting back control at the end of the Kitbag deal in a season or two’s time.
It may be observed, I suppose, that the current Board/Officers frustrated with Kitbag is the same Board/Officer who appointed them.
But also that, despite conformity to contractual details, all sorts of deals don’t work out as hoped.
I'm actually wearing one of these hoodies right now (https://store.leicestertigers.com/store ... 26-hoodies)
and the left pocket is smaller than the right pocket. Where's the logic in that, can't be any proper sign off of the quality.

Are you sure it's not that your left hand is bigger than your right?

Re: New Kit
The problem with the light green is that it’s not the colour green we use anymore. Look at the stadium, it’s all dark green. The days of light green as our main colour are gone.ads wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 6:23 pmI'd buy one instantly!sam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 8:21 amThe thing about those shirts is that if they just stick the first team sponsors on then they'd sell very well.

You have seen the “Nottingham Building Society Stand”, right?

Re: New Kit
The stand of course is ‘decorated’ in a much lighter green.

Re: New Kit
The 'which green?' comments are completely valid. Any reputable brand always specifies their colours exactly through HEX, RGB and HSL codes. You wouldn't get Coca Cola saying "any red will do" or BMW settling for any old "blau und silber!" I'm sure we have a 'Tigers green' - don't we?

Re: New Kit
Yeah, we had a 'Tigers green' then we made it darker. Which I think was actually going back to the original green or similar.
So we've changed it 2 or 3 times over the years already why not change it again!!

Re: New Kit
Our original colour was black and then we even played in orange and black stripes before we started playing in green.

Re: New Kit
I think the current colour has been referred to as “Evergreen”. Whether it remains the same remains to be seen.

Re: New Kit
Several shades of green have been used.
A difficulty I have with the current kit green is that beyond the h/w line it looks black. And beyond the far 22m line it all blends with the background of the supporters, adverts, etc. I can’t believe I’m alone.
A more distinct green might make distinguishing a bit easier.

Re: New Kit
With more than 14 days to go until the Premiership 7s kicks off, I’m hoping we will see some teases of the new kit soon.

Re: New Kit
Does it help to say that it’s green, red and white with an orange patch on the sleeve and big red patch on the top of the back?

Purely personal preference but I think that the big red patch clashes with the green and is too big. But as they are sponsors, can't complain too much.
