Nice use of crane on the ###### for those who suffer from a bit of builder’s crack when sitting!

Actual Dolphins shirt ……..

That jersey above was a place holder mock up type thing. The real one is spaced a bit better and in the second picture you can see the "gold" is darker then in retail shots.

Smart, I like it.

Nuclear apocalypse victims in a world where all clothes have been destroyed apart from that and an England Rugby Union shirt.

Is £32.99 the amount they're giving you to wear it? Cos if it is I'll need to round that up to £50.

Our friend Mr Rimmer maybe?

I wonder if the IMG future involves popular brands normal people have heard of being interested in Rugby League in England again?

Apart from Hummel which is niche at best were heading for a world of Oxen, O'neills and the return of Ellgren.

Where did the glory days of Canterbury, Umbro and Puma go (didn't Wigan have Adidas and Nike at one point)........even ISC gave up on us.

It's a good question but it's (to my eye) better than the current England football (men's and women's) training tops which are ... well, were you around in the early 90s when rugby league discovered patterns?

TBF ISC have given up on Australian RL as well they're winding down any contracts they have.

I like the Hummel stuff, I wear Hummel trainers quite often and have a bit of a soft spot for them prior to them getting into RL.

In recent years when we had Puma it was Puma licensed rather than Puma produced (I think the firm was called Genesis or something like that). 

I'd very much like to see a centralised kit deal a la MLS with a bigger brand (than Oxen) who can distribute merchandise to a wider range of retailers, rather than err.. just the club shop. I think Hummel, New Balance or Castore wouldn't be out of the realms for a centralised all-ish RL deal (Home nations, referees kits and SL teams). I know people will say it doesn't matter but I think it's one of those intangibles that gives the game credibility in TV and media, seeing brands people are somewhat familiar with.

Are they? I thought they were the Xblades UK distributer who went solo when Xblades pulled out.
