Englands Canterbury Kit

http://www.rfu.com/

Scroll Down and there is a picture of Manu and Antony Allen wearing a new kit , its probably the training one but im pleasantly surprised.

Does anyone know when the New playing kit if officially being released?
Edit 19/9/12: the New kit is out http://www.v2journal.com/canterbury-launch-new-england-rugby-kit.html

Soon, it's all over twitter and facebook so maybe next week...

Looks like the Arsenal kit.

What will England's away kit colour be this season then? The one in the link is red but I'm going to guess yellow. Or maybe green. Both colours we haven't seen England play in yet

We should be getting a few sneak previews soon. v2 has a good relationship with Canterbury so hopefully some exclusives coming soon!

England wore a purple kit against Argentina a few years ago.

My mistake, post edited.

It was a dreadful game where we discovered that Monye is not a full-back and England laboured away to win 16-9 with Banahan scoring (looking like The Big Purple One from a box of Quality Street).

I'm guessing that's the away kit. Uninspiring and boring are the 2 words that spring to mind!

Yeah if that is the away kit...rather poor effort.

I reckon the best England away kit was the navy blue Nike one a few years back

Here's a teaser video CCC sent me today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_aI2wGsxZU

I'm going to be representing v2 at the official Launch on the 19th too.

Agree, for me that was by far the best. Looked great actually. The new kit has one thing in common with most Canterbury kit. Ugly. Outside of that, no problem.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it'll be white with red bits on it.

please No, it looks like a arsenall poofball shirt.

That may be true but give me Canterbury over Puma anyday, our kit looks like a joke.

What have you been running over? Polar bears?

Well, Mr, Carpe Effervescing Elephant, I have not been running over Polar Bears - I understand they get very perturbed if one tries to run one over. I woke up with a bad arttitude this morning and I am hell bent to keep it.

Nah, I took an assignment for a couple of weeks in one of the refugee camps in south Turkey for the Syrians coming over the border. Been here a week, and have a week to go. The work is good and rewarding. Things are quiet as long as we keep everyone who is slightly different or percieves themselve different from everyone else (religion, nationality, culture, males, females, family members, clan members, etc.) apart from the others. This means about 15 divisions I have counted so far and growing. And people are way too ready to fight with each other - all the time.

Need Rugby to keep me calm.

But I am not confident that any jersey from Canterbury will make England look good. If the new kit looks like the new Leicester kit, then it is off the deep end for me, and England are doomed (worse than now)...............

The only way of jazzing up our play at present!!

Have to agree 100%, i'm yet to see an inspiring Canterbury kit, they're either formulaic and boring or vertigo inducingly bad! Still, how badly can they feck up White with a bit of red?

Canterbury are running a competition to give away VIP spots at the kit launch next Wednesday - see http://www.canterbury.com/competitions?mobi=N if you're interested.

Note:
The launch is on a Wednesday, during the day and
It's taking place at Drybrook RFC near Gloucester
so only apply if you're willing & able to get there

Does anyone actually see it being radically different?

Personally i dont think so, and dont want it...i like the straight forward all white with not even a dash of red either...BUT....it is Canterbury...

I wish they could just wear that centenary kit they wore against Wales in the Six Natrions 2010. I thought that looked great.

I liked the pure all white that Jonny and co wore...was a Cellnet one?

Not sure if I remember that one GF....you got a picture of it?

I would love that, I would also have loved for scummers to have not bought dozens of the original shirts with the sole intent of selling them on Ebay for £200+

£200? You serious?? Abolsute b@st@rds. I hate it when peope do stuff like that. Amazing looking shirt though

I had two and sold them both for £150 each.

Training kit is out.

Bit boring and safe IMO.

The white shirt is very plain and safe, but I think it could grow on me. I really like the darker training top that Flood is wearing- think that looks great.

Ill try and put a photo of it up mate.

I think it might have been around the early years of Johnny..maybe even through his debut.

EEEWWww

looks like Arsenal Scotland and France have a red rose on their kits.

I expect it to look like this

http://www.canterbury.com/england-cut-sew-tee-p17367

but .. FIFTY SIX QUID!!!!!

and STILL £90 for the match shirt!!

1 day to go.

Happy enough with the home kit - simple white with dark blue socks, traditional.

If Danny Care is in the change kit - hmmmm

I don't really know how to react. It's a white V-neck tshirt but what else was it going to be? Is it wrong that after my initial horror at the change kit i actually really quite like it? Welcome return of the blue socks. Overall not as bad as it could have been, would have liked a collar of some sort.

erm... aston villa?

Home kit is too boring and featureless, I rather hoped there would be red piping or summat,

Also who rights the marketing guff I mean:

The shirt represents the dreams not just of those who wear it but the millions who support England. This is reflected on the inside of the sleeve of the Seniors, Women’s and Sevens shirts with the slogan ENGLANDCONNECTED, acting as a reminder of the rugby family.

I henceforth name the new Change Kit as 'Bell-End Purple'

Like the home shirt, plain white.

I hate the away shirt with the burning fire of a thousand blazing suns.

Home shirt is ok, but underwhelming. I can't help but feel the canterbury logo is almost too big, or intricate, or something....

Can't stand the kit Care's wearing. If indeed that is the away kit, god help my eyes.

Happy days....simple all white.

Away kit looks great.
But that's because that's sort of my favourite colour.
Good job Canterbury

Away kit looks better in this photo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-2205469/England-launch-2012-13-rugby-kit.html

Please note, i don't read the Mail. I was just searching for a picture with more context...

The dark blue socks are back.

This is what England have been missing since 2003!

Hi all, it's been an interesting day at the kit launch. I'm now the owner of a white dust rag England shirt. It's only an xxl so touch wood will be too small for me . Generally a positive reaction to the home kit, and mixed for the away "regal purple" one. I rather like both 7s kits.

I'll have an article up on the v2journal with my other impressions later. Assuming I can find mobile signal to call a cab back to Gloucester (I'm pinching CCC's wifi now)

I'm happy with the home kit.

As for the away kit

Are you going to give it away as a prize Kiwi?

HERSH wrote:Are you going to give it away as a prize Kiwi?

Could do. My (Irish) flatmate will probably ban it from the house. Will have a think about best competition options

Think we should rename the away kit 'The Marmite kit'. Definitely getting a love it or hate it vibe here.

I'm definitely loving it. Must have been softened up by the Chiefs cup kit!
