Kits 2014/2015

[Big Ewis]

Easy now Parkinson, we have a limit of three questions per post, read the rules...

Ah but some of these said "questions" aren't really questions at all, and are only an integral part of the functional decor within this larger paragraph of interrogative and speculative thought I've extended to the Conrad of the Smiths.
I'm not above the rules, although I'm not below them either...(??..).
And I'm not Parkinson, I am Big Ewis. It's...a lot more severe.

But that's cool man, it's a real collection. When did you start, what age ? Do you have a plan, like, when you're older and wiser and realize how foolish it's been all this time, will you start selling on auction ?

I bought these Toulouse polo shirts:

I seem sober polo shirts and I can wear them for a looooooooooooong time, don't you think?

 

[Big Ewis]

cool. I like the first one. If you lived closer to me, like, a looooot closer, I'd probably try to steal it from you somehow. That's how good it looks. So it's a compliment.
The other one's too bright for me. And it kind of looks like a few consecutive German flags, not that I have a problem with people who eat sauerkraut.

So do you think that if you live up to 100 years old or even more, the price of some of your shirts will inflate like crazy coz they'll be super ultra authentic vintage or wtvr and you can sell one for like a millions dollars ? Yeh but then you're too old, what do you do with the money...yeah....yeah, just discard this last part.

One more thing on the Glasgow kit. I bought the new home kit yesterday at the friendly with Harlequins, and on trying it on when I got home it seems that the hole for sticking your head through is really rather tight. Getting it on was slightly tricky, getting off however was a battle and a half. Thankfully no one was around to witness my effots.

Quite like Edinburgh away.

The new England training range has been on sale/out for a week or so now. Look like the dark grey colour is making a return (although some sights are inexplicably listing it as 'navy').

Presumably the new kits will be revealed not long after the domestic season starts as happened last year. I kind of like the current home jersey with its weird navy arm stripes :mellow:

 

[ratsapprentice]

I'm guessing the Away kit is going to be a pretty standard red version of the home kit.^

New Wasps LDH kit:

This is supposedly just for the LDH - although I'm guessing that will be their away kit, but with an actual sponsor (EMC) rather than a charity logo.

Much better than that yellow and the older blue one IMO.

Very traditional Wasps away jersey, I like it.

So we should be seeing the Tiger's away kit tommorow, I have to say I'm quite looking forward to it if it's anything like it's been described.

Orange stripes in the British winter is going to warm the room up a little.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

London Welsh strip being unveiled tomorrow too.

Seems no change in the kit bar the manufacturer logo

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Leicester away kit is apparently bright orange and the players aren't that keen on it.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Just seen this on the (new and updated) premiership website:

...OK... if you're going orange with a club nicknamed "Tigers", simple black and orange "tiger stripes" wouldn't have been better?

...and London Welsh's:

Oh

My

LAWD

Thats awful if that is the design

 

[ratsapprentice]

All the other kits are 100% accurate, not rough approximations, so I'm fairly confident that is exactly what it looks like.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, that is horrendous.

I was looking forward to the kit, thought it could look pretty cool (I'm sure a team, possibly wests tigers? have had a bright orange with grey tiger stripes on, in the past? looked mint) but that's disgusting.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Orange version of Wasps' last Canterbury alternate kit was what I was thinking of...
