Whilst I think there's a lot to be said for England adopting the GB kit, I feel it would be funnier if we decided that a proper red shirt would be lovely. The fury from Wales would warm our houses through the winter. (In all seriousness, a red shirt with a white V and white trim would get round most of the issues we have about the kit either being too plain or looking too much like a big club side we don't like). 2 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

RP London Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 From the email I received it looks like sleeves maybe blue and I think a blue and red v but not easy to tell. 50% for anyone who bought last years short at full price.. seems fair as it was hardly ###### worn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just seen the email and, yes, the teaser pics are very reminiscent of GB. I’m sure it will sell very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) The teaser pics showing blue could be the away version, I cannot see them going away from red and white, so maybe a GB style but with red shoulders and a double red Chevron, not a "V". I love a Chevron, classic and distinct RL. New sponsor being announced too presumably, my guess is it's going to be Betfred on the front as they aren't on the teaser, with Ronseal on the back. Personally I'd prefer none on the national shirt, but money talks. Also be interested to see if they change the badge, the Oxen training range currently has 2 different ones, the current one (which is way too busy) plus a single lion one (which is way too small).

It would be a remarkably aesthetically smart move to adopt a GB blue and red at the same as having a blue and red logo'd sponsor. Having now seen the email like everyone else, it does seem that that's the direction we're being teased in. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Also looks like they've kept the shield logo, not the lion head. Maybe in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t think we should be playing in a GB kit or using a lions head logo but I could be in a minority. The GB logo and kit is iconic, but not for England RL, don’t mind them adding a bit of blue into the design though and ill be happy if it doesn’t have a bloody big St George’s cross on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Copying the GB brand would be a ridiculous move, so I can see it happening given it’s England, The RFL and Oxen combined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonus is.. it might mean GB us dead.. which would be a good thing! People want an iconic shirt for england, they want GB back for the shirt.. here you go then. I don't like the shield badge as much as the new lions head but I can live with it.. but this shirt I shirt we should have done back in 2008.. change the name but keep the shirt.
