Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Surely, with all the advertisements on the shirts and now the shorts, the prices should be reduced.
No wonder, many are now seen in older shirts or other items of clothing which are of a club's colours.
I recently obtain a polo shirt which looks more like a Wigan Rugby Shirt than many of the designs which are produced these days.
I don't mind really paying for the shirt, i get plenty of use out of it over the season plus it makes me happy seeing it nice and clean waiting for match day:lol:
They are expensive, but the ISC ones are well made and good quality.
Bradford have a membership package including replica shirt with season ticket - which seems a good idea. I know Wigan offer a discount, but to have one included in the cost seems better to me.
I am expecting purple in the away shirts again judging by the colour schemes in the new training wear in the online club shop.
I agree with the point about sponsorship - but it seems to have an adverse effect by increasing the cost to make the shirts / print the transfers!
I just hope the 2014 design isn't too drastically contemporary in design (I like the 2013 shirt!)
you can't really call them replica shirts anymore as they are not replicas in a way they don't have the w.a.r.r.i.o.r on them which they should really.
A possible hint. IL was wearing a tie at the recent end of season awards that differed from the usual club tie. Then again it may just have been an everyday tie.
Tbh I don't really like the purple , IMO ISC are not as good quality as the Kooga gear was , the overall fit of Kooga was more tailored compared to the baggy oversized look of the current ISC wear , which IMHO is overpriced too
