Options for everyone
Might have to go for that. How thick has the cotton been on these lately? Anyone that's bought a Samurai version.

Love the women's training a shirt - the geometric Tiger is stunning. I’ve never bought training kit before but I might have to!

Had a chance to have a closer look.

My favourite by far is the women's training shirt. If they had that in a mens size..........

I like the black top but not enough to purchase at full price.

Mens shirt - Still best for quite a few seasons but a little less convinced now. Mainly because in comparison to the womens training top the Tiger looks in the wrong place.

So on balance I'm going to wait to see what the Cotton Shirt looks like before committing as, if its hoops only as rumours indicate, hoping its a good 'multi season' replacement for my cotton traders shirt which is hanging by its last threads.........

Thoughts?

Yeah, I'd like to see it in the flesh first as on line it just looks like a black top. I wish the badge was the usual colours to make it more obvious. Does the Leicester crest in the material stand out at all?

Also seems strange that the pics of the home shirt on the shop don't show an angle from the tigers head side so you can see it in all it's glory....

There's a 3rd kit...

I assume for when the black away kit clashes (e.g. Sarries)

Is that a 3rd kit or just following a meme trend?

Yeah tbf now I've zoomed in you can tell it's a photoshop of the home kit, there's even that exact pic of those 3 in the home kit on the website

Like that. Probably my favourite actually.

Really wish they hadn't put the big Tiger head on the home kit though.

We only play 9 away games in the premiership now and yet out away strip potentially clashes with 3 of them! That doesn’t seem to make sense to me to have a kit that can’t be worn for a third of the games.

Makes sense commercially if there are plenty of replicas sold. The number of times it’s worn is almost irrelevant as long as it’s available

But the fans have been calling for a black away shirt for years, the clashes are the biggest reason that we probably don't get it more often, but shirt sales are also a massive driver in what the away shirt will be and the popularity will be high
