We have definitely had much worse in our time, but I still want proper stripes back. That's just a little bit boring. Quite like the away kit though - we've been on a run of half-decent change kits the last few years.

Puja

On a side note, every picture of Ollie Chessum in the new kit has him looking miserable. Either he was just having a really crappy day on the photoshoot or he's made a decision to try and look mean and scary, only to miss and land on "moody teenager".
Puja

Very smart home kit, not sure on the away but certainly not a disaster. Wasps training kit has some light blue highlights so we may be heading for another blue away strip. Didn't hate the last one.

Strong 1950s cycling jersey look from Tigers. Like it.

Yeah it's a solid kit but nothing special. Incidentally I'd go for a cycling top if they did one.

The artist from last season did some artist impression type bits, he's a season ticket holder, and his options were a lot more interesting.

Quins going classic. Why fix what isn't broken?

Puja

I like the Quins one - given they have the excuse of a different, garish kit for the big match(es) I like the idea of keeping the regular kit traditional. Also I like them using ex, or soon to be ex, internationals in the pics to give them one last moment in the sun

I like that aside from the daft faus collar - why??

Ah, I just assumed they were real collars. Why, indeed.

Yeah, I'd assumed they were real collars as well. Are they just part of the pattern, like a painted stage door? That's weird.

Puja

Faux collar? That's ridiculous. I saw Marler taking the piss out of Smith asking if he'd skipped arm day.

Castore seem to be going hard in their kit deals at the minute, across loads of different sports. A bit like BLK did a few seasons ago, before disappearing without a trace.

It’s an actual collar. Can’t be arsed to get an image, but there are other shots that show it turned up ‘Cantona style’ to reveal our new wanky slogan underneath (which I’ve already forgotten ).

Oh, guess the wanky slogan game.
My first entry/attempt:
‘Those who hesitate relegate’?

Good shout, but it's gotta be in Latin for ultimate pretentiousness points.

Puja

Well the nunquam dormio bit is still there, but the new one is ‘We are true’ … honestly, I find it amazing someone was paid to come up with such superfluous bollocks.

Wow that's actually worse than the Tigers; "Everywhere we go, we take you with us".

Now chastising myself that the phrase ‘wanky slogan’ was used in relation to Quins and I didn’t link to ‘come all without, come all within’.

Did you all get illegal image rights payments?

In spirit, we did.

Giving up on any thought of being known as "Too good", huh?

Needs more stripes.

Needs more stripes is the general consensus amongst Tigers fans.

Tigers did do the Captain's Collection a couple of seasons back which brought back replica shirts from four particular years in the club's history. That was popular if a little pricey. Worked quite well with Youngs as captain as there was that connection to the past.

Looks like a promo for Ireland v Wales

To be honest I'm hoping that Bristol don't have a new kit, seems a shameless cash grab to me... so no doubt we'll get 3 new versions.....
