2023 New Kits, Sponsors and Suppliers

[The One]

Think the problem with RL is that these companies are trying to sell multiple items to a relatively small fan base. That’s probably why they change kit design every year and have loads of ranges.

It’s not like some other sports where they are probably happy selling the same one item to lots of people.

Caught some of the highlights of the Leeds v NZ game on YouTube. That white band on the Leeds jersey really doesn’t need to be there, and what is up with the size of the numbers on the back of the jerseys?!.. surely that can only be for this game. SL must have size standards for such things.

Cas releasing their Home shirt tomorrow morning. 

Also trolling their fans somewhat with a video about the Amber vs Orange debate

I thought the Leeds kit looked worse on the field and it’s usually the opposite i find.

The Amber bands above and below the oversized white band are too narrow so it just ends up looking like a dark blue shirt with a big white band.

They were wearing white socks from the 2021 rob burrow kit which also looked odd - maybe the new socks got nicked of the lorry?

The numbers were hilarious- not sure what was going on there!

Funnily enough I felt the same. First thought was that the jersey didn’t look that good when worn.

York with new branding - which is very nice puts some SL clubs to shame

Seems that way yes

Cas Tigers new shirt - not too bad that one,  although ruined by the rubbish sponsor logo and its a bit fussy (doesn't need the grey in the stripes), I think they should go back to Amber and black but I think that ship has sailed.

The black with the orange and grey hoops would make for a nice shirt, without the orange on the chest. 

I don’t hate it but Cas have had better shirts in recent years.

They are re-branding from being York City Knights and York City Knights Women, to being York RLFC Knights and York RLFC Valkyries.

It's not awful but again would always look classier in amber. I know their line of thinking because the badge is orange but you know you could always just... change the badge? It needs an update anyway. Tigers are no more toxic orange than they are amberish yellow.

Awful

Do kit manufacturers still move on a cycle like this when designing kits:

Year 1: Traditional

Year 2: A bit adventurous

Year 3: The ghost of Jackson Pollock grabbed the designer’s cpu mouse

Year 4:  Back to traditional

Thats what Wigan do. I’m not sure many others do that.

This shirt looks like the designer couldn't decide between 2 ideas and just merged them together.

Either hoops all the way up or have hoops in the middle.  The 2/3 up look is awful.

[The One]

Not keen on that shade of orange at all.

Its like the stuff you get from Aldi middle aisle for soccer WC or Euros problem is they are usually £9.99 while we are trying to shift that for £40
