Insulting the French and NZers...racial stereotypes are both humorous and effective by the looks of things.

What happened to those Gridiron-style shorts they were trialling a while ago?

 

[Bullitt]

Oh dear... What were they thinking.

I'll proberbly warm to them, but I'm certainly not keen right now.

 

[RoyalBlueStuey]

Dodgy socks and shorts. Shirt is okay.

Thank God we don't have to endure that...it's like those Aussie basketball unitards.

 

[goranski]

hmm another t-shirt style jersey without any kind of decent collar - at least we haven't gone for those sleeveless aussie ruler jerseys yet, although they have surfaced as training gear in Oz...

Pedantic note : A sleaveless jersey is a called guernsey.

 

[goranski]

i'm afraid your allegation cannot be confirmed by Webster's American College Dictionary....

guernsey, my good man, is a british crown dependency off the coast of normandy and an island in the collective known as the channel islands, not an utterence refering to any australian sleeveless jumpers old sport...

Well bin your substandard dictionary, sir, for guernsey is the correct term....it was what the locals called it when I was down here and google and wikipedia agree with me.

 

[goranski]

sub-standard! the cheek of it, pitting wikipedia against a flawless american dictionary, what...then again there may be some substance in your revelations concerning the garment

flawless....pah! When I checked it it had left the letter u out of colour and spelt gaol phonetically. Furthermore to this it made some wild phonetic guess at the pronunciation of Lieutenant.

Trust me on the guernsey thing though. I was in an Aussie sports store pondering over whether to buy an Essendon shirt...I check the label of a neighbouring Western Bulldogs shirt and some wag had scribbled "Note : This guernsey is worth more than the team".

Ok, i'm gonna say it again, and i know i'm in the minority, but i really like this kit.

I know Reebok are gonna do a tight fit jersey for wales as well, i hope they make it look this good.

 

[goranski]

those shorts do look kinda strange, what's up with the weird seam across

 

[loratadine]

any news when wales will be revealing there??

 

[Rugby_Cymru]

We've got a tight fit jersey (along with the other regular ones) with a predicted release date of August.
