Home shirt is a mess. Diagonal lines? just plain nasty.
I agree with what's been said about the logo. Looks as if the team are representing HFH, not Wigan RLFC. For the logo to be so big, they must be paying big bucks.

I am not against the experimental shirts but my own opinion is they should be the away shirts that are experimented with rather than the home kit.
That is just my opinion im sure many wont agree, but i have to say the home shirt looks more like a HULL KR shirt than a Wigan one, Balke Green and Scott Taylor must be having de ja vu
The away kit is based on a Melbourne storm media Polo from a few season ago
Just to add that i think many will wait for the kit to be cleared before buying due to the frequency of the kits being released but also not a lot of people will pay full price for the experimental kit
The shirts were designed and ordered BEFORE we did the double, this season was always going to be the 'experimental' kit.

Must say I like them both, home more than away if anything. Its in our traditional colours with a design sufficiently different from last year to make it a must have item for our many fashionistas. Clever marketing IMO and sales would appear to bear this out!

....But the pink shirt a few years ago did a bomb. Way outselling the 'traditional' blue away kit.
Time will tell but I think this will be a hit. The marketing people they have at Wigan may not be perfect but I am sure they are far better qualified in doing their job than a lot of 'pundits' on here!!
