I'd like to see it with shorts both tucked in and not. Sometimes it's the full kit that makes a shirt good or bad.

Prefer the home one of the 3 but won’t be purchasing it.

I would like to see us go back to Amber and Black and I love the Wolverhampton Wanderers home kit. That for me is bang on and with one of the top, if not the top, brandings in world sport.

Just going off public reaction its not going to be popular amongst fans. I prefer polo shirts to match shirts anyhow but it may grow on people when the team play in it.

I prefer polo shirts etc.. to replica shirts as I just don't like the XBlades shirts. I will be buying the 1986 Heritage shirt as I was only 11 and my shirt from then doesn't quite fit me anymore!

Not bought a shirt for about 10 year, they don't interest me. Much prefer the training gear they have, that I can wear in the gym or for games when it's decent weather. Will be buying a few for Catalan in April.

Cas really need to get a new supplier ASAP.

Who would people prefer the supplier to be if they had a choice? Adidas for me every time.

I know shirts are about increasing revenue but wouldn’t people buy them if the range and quality were much better even if a bit more expensive?

I'd vote for ISC as the shirts were the best fitting and nicest material out of the recent suppliers. I did also like the old Elgren shirts though

Adidas would be great but just a pipe dream unfortunately

Out of the rugby manufacturers I'd go for Canterbury or Oneills

I hadn't thought about Canterbury, they do some decent stuff

Under Armour, they made the Salford stuff for a bit - expensive to sign up but actually make gear instead of using boring templates ala Puma/Nike/Adidas.

Why would Adidas only be a pipe dream? We have had them previously.

And they operate through a third party like Puma with kitbag, the club wouldn't deal directly with Adidas.

Because we don't exactly see huge global brands falling over themselves to be associated with our sport anymore do we?

Only because of cost.

Clubs need to weigh up the cost against what they make, IIRC it cost Salford £500k to have Under Armour for a year. ISC/Xblades etc will cost significantly less.

Under Armour would be great to get on board with. Massive sporting brand, some decent exposure and i'd imagine some quality gear.

i know I am going to be shot down, but I don't like the silky material all the replica shirts are made of, I understand players need a light weight shirt , but for the fans cotton shirts for me look a lot smarter

Been in shop today to have a closer look.
Still doesn’t do it for me.
It’s the 2 shades of brown that makes it look awful.
Not sure who’s idea it was but imo it’s the wrong one.
