I thought the away shirt last year looked awesome in the pic but when i saw it in the flesh was really disappointed and didn't like it. Will wait to see this in the flesh but saying its crap
Wigan have today unveiled their new Home Kit for Engage Super League XVI which will see the Warriors taking to the field to defend their title.
The distinctive new design is a break from tradition and features shaded cherry-to-white irregular hoops. It also incorporates white flashes over the chest and hips which are designed to accentuate the shoulders and shrink the waist making the Warriors look even bigger and more fearsome than before.
The KooGa shirt, which will display the logo of new Main Sponsor Applicado-FS across the chest, will be worn with cherry red shorts and cherry red socks both with white flashes.
Commenting, Wigan Warriors Head Coach Michael Maguire said:
"We are really pleased with the new design as it reinforces our desire to push the boundaries in everything that we do. The kit is certainly a break from tradition but we hope that it will be a hit with our fans. It is designed to give us another psychological edge in our performance but we also think it looks great and I can't wait to see the thousands of Warriors fans wearing the new kit in the stands during 2011".
The new shirt is now available to pre-order and is expected to be delivered at the beginning of December in good time for Christmas. Pre-orders are available at Warriors World in the Grand Arcade, online at wiganwarriors.com by clicking here and on the Merchandise Hotline: 01942 239655.
I can understand the break from tradition and that's fine once in a while but the club have got it completely wrong this year IMO... there is no white at all in the hoops apart form a vertical front-spine composition.
still many will be sold which is a good thing... the sponsor looks good also.
In the official statement they've said "in a break from tradition", my question is why are we breaking with tradition when its what makes our club unique and special, cherry and white hoops are our club colours, would Celtic change their club colours? and why have we got an England flag on the shoulders?
