Geordie, nothing wrong with this thread, but Hersh's England strip OP was originally a separate thread on which Radge first replied

by Geordie Tue Jul 24, 2012 3:40 pm

Ah ok...

by HERSH Tue Jul 24, 2012 3:44 pm

It was a completely different topic!

Basically I was after information regarding the release of the new England kit.

But as ever some people took offence to the word ‘England’ being used in the rugby section and reported it to the mods!

by Geordie Tue Jul 24, 2012 3:47 pm

Ah ok...

Do try to resist using the E...word...you know how it upsets people...

Once again HERSH is ommiting certain facts.

The thread read New England strip..... I clicked on the thread out of genuine interest to see it only to have in the meat of the article

coming soon.....

This left me a little bit upset since the post had no value, interest or merrit, and it has been now merged with this decent and productive thread.

Hope that explains my comments Geordie thumbsup

+1 altho I am surprised that you were surprised, Radge! Wink

Oh the irony! picard

I can't find any news of the release hence the 'coming soon!'

I was hoping that some enlightened soul on 606v2 knew something.

It's getting very tiresome having to explain everything.

It was the typo Hersh. If you'd said "Coming Soon?" everyone would have clicked. Instead it came out almost like one of Portnoy's old "Can anyone guess what I'm on about before we start debating" ones Wink

PS, I've emailed my contact at CCC to ask when it's due out. Watch this space.

Well that wasn't entirely successful ...

I am out of the office until Friday 27th July and will not have access to my email, I will respond on my return.

Thanks

New Sarries strip in the Allianz photoshoot: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/18969634 - looks not too bad imo

by HERSH Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:53 pm

Looks like Sarries will 'sell out' of them too! Whistle

Yup, like that one too, Notch

I think they should have done rugby stripes, but yeah it's pretty nice and smart to play on the name.

by **George Carlin** Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:09 pm

The Scarlets one seems to be more about the sponsor than the team.

Someone should tell Dyfed Steels that this is not a workers uniform with a nod to a rugby team tacked onto the front.

For a change this is an inoffensive HERSH article clap

Here's the Scarlets effort http://www.scarlets.co.uk/eng/news/5080.php

Thats a bit harsh, the Scarlets dragon is pretty clear on the shirt (the big wing wrapped around etc). That said the Dyfyd Steels logo is something of an eye-sore, and makes my misses a bit worried that it will wash off in the machine.

by Smirnoffpriest Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:44 pm

I'd also say the Scarlets Dragon is pretty prominent as well - it's def a Scarlets shirt.

I don't mind the Sponsor either as we've had them for a while and they are at least a big company from the region and identifiable as such (rather than a foreign company)

by **George Carlin** Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:52 pm

Having a green logo is fine if the rest of the shirt was green anyway (Northampton, for example).

I think that Tim Gunn from Project Runway should design all of the kits.

Not just the Chiefs and Stade Francais offerings.

Fair point, priest. I like the design, just never been sure about the jobby brown colour of the away strip?

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:53 pm

I don't like that dragon wing bit. A simple scarlet (colour) jersey with the Scarlets badge on the breast would have been better.

I can't stand the away shirt - IMO the less said about it the better. I always thought away shirts were meant to be a completely different colour to the home (so if we were playing Munster away say red/red wouldn't work so we'd change to something distinctive) but this brown rubbish wouldn't work (red/brown and red is still pretty similar).

The Blue from last season should have been kept, and the green from the season before (which I didn't get on with) was better than this attempt!

by Smirnoffpriest Thu Jul 26, 2012 3:10 pm

But i do like the home kit and the Sospan Fach lyrics, and isn't there some Yma O Hyd reference on the shirt?

And hearts and soul (yn cymraeg) on the sleeve too?

by Smirnoffpriest Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:17 pm

Yes of course - it's great the references to the regions heritage and indentity

New Edinburgh kit out.

TBH my favourite Edinburgh kit for about 3 years..... like it a lot.

Only problem when I show the Mrs and say I'll be buying it I get the usual : "how do you never look like that when you wear rugby shirts" Sad

by Effervescing Elephant Fri Aug 03, 2012 12:40 pm

Think the kilts are a brave step, would've stuck with shorts personally...

by Smirnoffpriest Fri Aug 03, 2012 12:42 pm

The kilts might discourage the opposition players from tackling low down, or getting into rucks with them 'brave' Burgh boys...

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:13 pm

I really liked last season's Edinburgh jersey. Presumably they'll cut the price on them now the new one's out.

by munkian Fri Aug 03, 2012 8:26 pm

New Dragon's one is being worn tomorrow at the Gwent select XV match

My money is on it being black Very Happy

by munkian Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:12 pm

New Neath I mean Dragon's homekit. Apparently theres some red on it but hard to see here.

Spoiler:

by Smirnoffpriest Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:16 pm

I thought that was a Newport kit 1st of all, as all I could see on the badge was Newport.

It is very Neath like as you say, and a shame they've dispensed with the red patterns that made last seasons kit so distinctive.

by munkian Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:32 pm

Not my photo but apparently there are some red dots on it - maybe like the scales from our '3rd' shirt a season or two ago ?

No amber to be seen now anyway - stop people moaning

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:34 pm

It's a decent jersey. I don't like the new sponsor, but money's money I suppose.

Do we know who decides on shirt designs? Someone must have made the decision to get rid of the red we had last season.

You could make the Rodney the Dragon outfit the team kit, and people would still moan about it having nothing to do with the region.

That would be classic - though you'd have to leave the dragons 'head' off for Toby Faletau's afro to come out (once he bother's growing it back!)

by munkian Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:49 pm

Looking at some of the photos on welshrugbypics - there is a red on it like last season's home kit but more feint

red on shirt

People at Rodney parade decide on shirt designs I beleive - they get a choice of 4 or so and narrow it down - that's what people on Dragons forum have said anyway.

Would be better if they let the fans vote like they did for the charity shirt
