Well done Town, very smart, but some will find fault, you can't please everyone, more good news coming soon maybe 

That is a very nice shirt. Just pre ordered 

[Town utd]

It is a nice top,but think everyone in rugby league will c it as a South Sydney Rabbitohs top,last year's top was original.

So what? I bet the aim was to sell a load so I it will be very successful.

[troutmaster]

Well,If they play like the south sydney Rhabittohs in the shirt,That will do for me..

Nice shirt

[Town utd]

Only my view but a team should be identified by there team shirts,last year's tops were brilliant and original,even the home top this season is nice ,but i would not identify it as a town top ,more a halifax top.but just my opinion.if fans buy it great.

By all accounts it's flying off the shelves

You do understand the concept of an away shirt?

Having been named personally on here by pathetic attention seekers (I know who you are) I hope the shirt sells like hot cakes. Always putting the club before personal ego, regards and UTT.

I think the clue as to why it’s red and green is in the story behind it, ie the colours of the first shirt ever worn by the town team 75 years ago. So with that in mind it then becomes very identifiable as a town shirt and pays due respect to those that started the club. Last years away shirt highlighted our heritage with the colours of the Cumbrian flag, this years highlights the history of the club with the first ever team colours. In my view both excellent shirts and both original ideas.

I like that. As someone said, it's the original colours  I've no idea why they changed to blue and white

Personally I love the way we are in touch with our heritage . It is the core of everything we are and should be remembered and honoured in ways like this . We do that side excellently . This is a shout out to the earliest days and you can do things like that with away shirts . You basically have free reign . We’ve had some shockers but this isn’t one of them

The reasons above are exactly why we have chosen this jersey. 

We understand and appreciate that it's relevant because South Sydney wear these colours, but if you like them both then please purchase the one with a unicorn on it.

We really appreciate the feedback and it's gone down very well. 

Thanks to those who have purchased already.

Which is a fine shirt in my view.......can I though add that in the shirt 'write up' you say Town won the RL cup 6 years after formation in 1952.....but why forget that Workington Town were the Rugby League CHAMPIONS after  just 5 years....beating Warrington at Maine Rd Manchester in a thrilling 1951 final....sorry to moan RW...not.

Not forgotten by any means, and thanks for taking the time to read the full write up, just highlighted the Challenge Cup because it's Challenge Cup week. 

UTT.

Sell the club if they do pal . Sell it good ... dual reg with them would be awesome

As a 15 year old was at that very first game with two Seaton pals. The only thing I remember was George Armstrong scoring the first try and Denis Cavanagh kicking the first goal. I would like to know that team that day.

Reference to the Tangerine shirt, it was all tangerine. I seem to think it was used as the way shirt. I believe it was worn the first time on Gus Risman's home game for Town on his return from the 1945  'Indomitables' test matches in Oz along with prop Fred Hughes.

Totally agree, I am a traditionalist - I can't remember playing in hoops; either a single blue band or 'V' for me. Look how Wigan and Saints keep their identity.
