An apology in advance.

I have just seen a sneak preview of the new Exeter Chiefs cup shirt and would like to wholeheartedly apologise on behalf of myself and any other Chiefs fans on this forum.

That is all.



EDIT: Full horror now available to buy from the trading post

How quickly you become "big time"!

Check it out, it burns!

Isn't this shirt bought on wholesale from the pink shirt mountain in the Cardiff area?

Quick reprint of the motif and you have the Exeter Blues, sorry chiefs!

Hadn't thought of that! Hope they got a good deal!

From the Blues perspective, 50p per shirt is a winner!

Rob Baxter is going to go ballistic, he has stated very clearly that Chiefs shirts should be black or white. I think Samurai are doing it to wind him up tbh! Two seasons on the trot with a mingin' Cup shirt!

Maybe they are looking to boost Sales in the French market?

Gah!

Feic, that's awful and we can't even see all of it!

It's a from me. And just think how much it will clash when you play against the Scarlets!

That looks like a copy of some of Stade's jersies. I don't mind some of Stade's stuff, but that looks pretty garish.

My eyes!

i actually don't mind the tribal print and graphic in general. Up to date, looks modern ... All that good work undone by a neon pink that looks more at home in the 1980's discotheque.

Best not show my old man this, he was mulling over picking up season tickets being his local side now with time on his hands for club rugby since retiring

Maybe they are after cornering the pink pound market?

I like it. Reminds me of Connachts jersey last year.

Alastair, probably best not show him, but certainly encourage him to go for the season tickets - the more the merrier at SP, and he'd be made to feel most welcome.

I have no doubt AsLong . He's an old school north London Watford boy so always supported Saracens when he was a kid, but has lived in Dorset now for more years then i care to count and The Chiefs work ethic and general attitude towards grafting your way up has really impressed. With some time to kill and enjoy the game again he's been mulling over an Exeter ticket or 5 for the fun of it.

Stade Chiefs

Why is it that clubs feel the need to 'express' themselves artistically with cup shirts? Why wouldn't you want to see your own colours at the highest level? Does my nut in to be honest!

OK, here it is in its full glory!: http://shop.exeterchiefs.co.uk/shop/ - and I must confess that it's not quite as hideous as I first thought!!

Aye, but it matches my eye-shadow, Al

What's that jonny cash song? Something about a man called sue, or something. If you're going to wear pink on the rugby field, be sure to be a big bunch of bullies. Is this the case with the chiefs?

nothing like a good colour co-ordination!

It's worse than i could possible have imagined!

Yikes, Nowell looks like a porcupine!

Maybe it's just the lighting, but are their hands touching?

The players look well embarassed to be wearing it - it's even worse than the Cardiff Blues one, and that's saying something!

At least us Scarlets fans won't have to look at it as they'll have their home kit on ... unless they force us to look at that monstrosity while wearing our away kit!!!

Only fit for a French team!

cool design.

colours ghey.

That is all.

I think you'll find that is Limahl from Kajagoogoo.
