I've not been into the shop (yet) but reading posts from those who have then I'm unsurprisingly underwhelmed at how this kit situation is playing itself out. I've said it before, but here we are after all our success last year with the first real opportunity for the Commercial team to demonstrate their worth & what happens ... ? No time constraints, been in the offing for a while & yet it's no better than a "pies are here" scenario. Simply shameful, yet seemingly acceptable. Perhaps Mr Gill should stop making his phone calls to faithful fans & rather spend his time cracking the whip with those that are letting us down so badly. We deserve a lot, lot better ... ](*,)

I have to say I preferred the ISC merchandise over what I've seen so far but if the shirt is nice then I'm happy.
Maybe better financially at the moment but won't make as much in merchandise sales?
I suppose it depends, its a 5 year deal so there's plenty of opportunity to come up with more stuff that brings in plenty of money. Obviously I'm just speculating but perhaps this first year is a bit of a sacrifice in terms of there being no particularly new designs and the orange gear?

The more I think about it I don't think the orange thing is as big of a deal as people make out. Sure the vast majority prefer amber but if the gear is nice it doesn't really matter whether its yellow, amber or orange it will probably sell.

Pardon my ignorance but it is my understanding we were called Castleford RLFC long before we became 'Tigers' and I don't recall any of our kit from the distant past having any orange on it.

We became 'Tigers' because we have a combined colour scheme of Black, White and Amber as I assume from limtied knowledge that the animal kingdom doesn't have any amber coloured creatures of any note.

It's not that long ago the CLub undertook a survey of the feelings of fans and amber was the overwhelming favourite but hey, why should the views of fans ever be considered for long?

The plain white vest which is just covered in sponsors is horrendous.

Sponsors are printed into the home shirt. Mend-a-hose announced on the website as the first sponsor. The colour of the shirt is on the picture so you can decide what colour it is. I always thoughts amber was a shade of orange!

The mendahose image on the main website is definitely a brighter shade this year, bit dissappointed that the sponsors logos arent stitched on, ill wait to see the rest of the design before deciding to buy

That will be a players fit shirt, they never have any of the sponsors stitched on.

I'd quite like a shirt that as the least amount of stitching possible. So printed on badges and sponsors are fine by me.

Can't wait to see the new shirts!!!

If they're either of the top 2 or the bottom right shirt I'll probably buy one.

Today's headline grabbing news? The once "iconic" Yorkshire (Leeds, spit!), now sold down the river beer (liquorice water :P ) brand whose name I can't even bring myself to mention is sadly now staying with us even longer :-s
If Carlsberg did bitter, it's probably just the worst ...

They'll be ploughing nothing except their wider brand exposure at minimal cost to them. Saying nothing about the fact that we have to continue to drink their mass produced fizz at top whack prices.
I stand by what I said .... this whole kit thing smacks of tail wagging dog. Dropped our trousers big style ...

Can you share thew details of the deal please?

Now I'm not a betting man but I'm willing to bet that you have absolutely no idea and merely looking for a moan - well done, just the job that!

No I don't have details of the deal ...
... but I was employed by a brewer for over 30 years in a position whereby I know exactly how these things work.
So yes I do have some idea.
