WALES RWC 2011 KIT

First topic message reminder :

New kit in spoiler tag

Spoiler:

Not strictly speaking a new kit for next season, but a kit for the RWC 2011

Unfortunately, my work lapdog blocks www.wru.co.uk/youdecide

Can anyone get in and have a look ?.




Edit, adding in the "Change" RWC strip from down-thread -

Spoiler:

Hmm I actually prefer the away (never thought I would say that ever!!)

The away kit did look a tad navy; it looks darker where Warburton is modelling it. It looks quite good if I'm honest, I'm tempted to get it. How much do you reckon, £200.00 ? ??

Really like the change top. Not overly keen on the first choice kit because of the white bit. The kit after the WC does look better though.

Looks dark blue in the photos, but the press release says it's black. If it is black, it'll sell like hot cakes.

i want to see it in standard fit, not the authentic ones as i doubt i can afford to spend £90 on the authentic (although i would like too)

I like the new kits - The Away Kit is the best we've had!

Yeah, remember the awful 'gold' one we had.

not a fan of the underarmour logo and where it's placed on the shirt, the one after the WC I agree with others does look better. Might actually get myself one, haven't had a new shirt since 2005, so why not.

Like the "BRAINT" on the collar. Let's hope the players act & perform like it is a privilege

Can I ask wht "Braint" means? Presume it's pride or something?

It means privelage. What's the word on the away collar? I can't make it out

Might be "Cymeriad" ??? Character

that would make sense...what are the words for penetrating attack? perhaps they could have used that...

I don't think Gatland knows the words attack in English nevermind Welsh!

I know. it's so depressing. I fear we are going to be taught a few very brutal lessons in the pools

I reckon a tight game will get you comfortably qualified from your pool. The reason you keep losing to Fiji is getting drawn into their style and trying to chuck it about willy nilly. Have a bit of patience and the pool is yours with SA.

Thanks for the tip. If i were the coach I would definitely take your advice...Gatland, however will probably not...

Gatland seems to be happy to play the boring game. I think the Welsh pack has come on leaps and bounds. The issue is utilising the backline properly. They have few if any decent first phase attacks which I think is the biggest issue.

Just been out for lunch, popped in to the shops - I LOVE IT 8)
Shall be purchasing both RWC shirts

The word on the collar of the alternate shirt is indeed CYMERIAD.

Can anyone who has seen the shirts confirm (apart from the tight fitting) the differences between the two versions (supporters V Pro)

Are the rubber dragon scales on the supporters version or are they "drawn in" like on previous shirts!!

Unfortunately im a long way from Wales so I have to buy my shirts via mail order!!

I'd say the dragon scales are more rigid on the 'Pro' shirt, whereas on the supporters shirt they're more drawn-in

Cheers, yeah my first UA Wales shirt was the Pro version and the dragon scale "grip" was actual rubber, whilst last season I went for the supporters version and they were just a pattern on the shirt!!

The rubber grip helps when carrying 5 pints from the bar to your table!!

Im still hoping this tracksuit top will be available

However the usual websites, Pure Rugby, Roksport, Lovell, Rugby Shop etc dont seem to have it

Can't see faceache in work, but I would think the training gear will be widely available as they are for sale on the WRU site now

May well invest in -

Hi Pete, the one in the Facebook is much nicer then that one. Just checked the WRU site and its not there but there are quite a few pics still missing.

Checkout the Facebook video when you get home. looks great!

Spoke to soon, pic has just be unveiled - its bloody pricey though and WRU exclusive

Spoiler:

Tis nice though Kultschar.

I'm a bit of a cabbage, but I like the words they put on the collars. Even last years.

Thank frig it's my 30th soon. I reckon I can wrangle two tops. (probably get the Red Six Nations top and the Black WC top).

Thanks for that link Cari. Really like our away kit for the world cup but all year round one is ruined by the big Admiral logo across the front. Shame we can't have one like the All Blacks kit.

Totally agree - wouldnt mid if it was the Brains logo.

Im buying both WC kits and sod the 6N version

Looks 8) but will need to have squint 'in the flesh' - how many sheets are they asking for ?

It's not so much the logo, it's just that it's a logo in general. Looks far better off without one. You'd think Admiral might be contempt with their share of billboards at the stadium.

Do you think they put that on there to make Henson realise that he's privileged to wear it?

Nice regional split there. Well played WRU.

Just a shame they made a hash up of the release with this "like to reveal squares" farce.

It's a shame we'll only get to see it in three matches at the world cup...

There is that too.

Hmmm... imitation being the sincerest form of flattery comes to mind
Have to wonder where Under Armour get their ideas!

HAha damn you Notch! Wish they'd leave the fat Admiral logo off of it for all kits though,

Anyone purchased one of these yet? I havent seen anyone out and about in them. Hopefully, theywill be left with loads in stock, so I get to buy them for a tenner from Sports Direct.
