No not really P/W. I am a traditionalist and I just wondered what others thought particularly with club's 2009 designs now becoming public knowledge.

I too am a traditionalist.

The 88/89 shirt was spot on. 1 sponsor, kit manufacturer thats it.

cherry and white hoops

'ancient and loyal' on the collar

possibly buttoned front (like last seasons away kit)

If the new top is like the Kooga illustrations that I've seen and replicated on RLFans, then I'll be very happy with it. It'll be one of the best shirts in recent years. Saying that, apart from the hideous warrior one with the swirls, I've been happy with all our shirts. I think you have to try really hard to make a mess of hoops.

yes if the shirt is like the ones on rlfans then i'd be happy too...

to be honest there is only so much we can do with two colours of hoops.

I like the one I have seen on Rlfans. I prefer the Pemps version to the one another guy has posted. I do hope it is a deep cherry colour though. At times it has been too red IMO.

The picture I've seen of it was a deep red and I've been told that it's going to be cherry red rather than RED!!!

fingers crossed.

The other guy who did the well rendered drawing was just doing his interpretation of a Wigan kit rather than what he believes the kit will look like. I would love to see one in the colour he did the away shirt in though.

He was pretty damn good with the photoshop. I should not scoff as my own efforts would be as bad but there were some crackers from one or two others :)

I like the pin stripe to break up the hoops on your version Pemps.

i think the home shirt should always be cherry and white, not white and cherry like last seasons shirt was!
