[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 236530"] Let's be honest, it's just a sales gimmick. I mean, whats going to sell more? A kit that looks identicle to every other team, apart from the logos (Canterbury for example?) or Rhino and Addidas making some pretty outlandish and special kits? The Edinburgh one was only for the derby against the great unwashed, but it was still a good idea to get some extra cash. Rugby is a business now in the professional ranks, so these things help to bring the pennies in. I have no problems with that if the money made from these 'wacky' shirts is reinvested in player development. As long as we don't go down the route of football whereby it becomes all abotu making money and teams change their shirts every year (something Edinburgh have done in the past few years and has annoyed me greatly...now they've got a suberb kitmaker in Rhino I hope we keep the current shirts, I quite like them!). At any rate though, these shirts aren't nearly as bad as pink boots. [/QUOTE]
