The 4 of Us 949 Report post Posted November 21, 2018 Almost misread the sponsor. Thought it said “p!sstones” and was a historic reference to the Central Park bogs. Quote http://www.wiganstpats.org Producing Players Since 1910 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupert Prince 938 Report post Posted November 21, 2018 3 hours ago, Oliver Clothesoff said: To be pedantic, is that actually cherry in colour? Two not bad efforts there, unfortunately. 'washed cherry' thank you. Please stay awake at the back. Nice shirt, nice colour. No logo now with betting on it. What not to like? Main sponsor, head office in Chicago, please note. I always believe you cannot win in a rubbish strip, so at least Wigan are on the front foot with this. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers! 'PRESTONE are a world leader in antifreeze and coolants and and brake and transmission fluids.'

Mister Ting 302 Report post Posted November 21, 2018 Typical RL. A thread devoted to 2019 kits is hijacked by kits of yesteryear. Keep looking back my friends, but don't complain about the future. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally, they could have gone for black or white writing (whichever was more prominent - probably white) with the "rainbow" stripe under it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
