Kirmonds pouch Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 From a personal point of view I think the Wire kit is pretty poor - but - I don’t support them so what’s it got to do with me. If enough Wires fans buy it then no harm done. You can’t please everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindle xiii Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I was thinking about how the St. George-Illawarra home shirt consistently seems to be better than the St. Helens home shirt, then I found this page on Elite Pro Sports. https://www.eliteprosports.co.uk/nrl/nrl-supporter-shirts/ Supporters NRL 2023 shirts, no sponsors, for £15 apiece. I'm not sure if this is well known but someone else might appreciate it before Christmas, that blank St. George-Illawarra home shirt is delicious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t blame you, it is awful. I usually buy a short wether I like them or not, I don’t actually wear tbh. But there have been a couple I just couldn’t bring myself to own.

I suppose we have gone with more retro kits that appeal to the likes of me in recent years, whereas this current one is maybe more modern, aimed at the younger crowd.

However as you say we didn't really have them first time round in their golden era of kits. I was born to run a club like this.

Retro shirts are popular with a lot of younger people aswell, not because of the longing for a better time, it’s just because retro things are always part of the current trends. You’ll notice a lot of 90s stuff around at the moment because the 30 year cycle for art/music/fashion rings fairly true. Money has always destroyed things.

Streaming is all mindless entertainment as far as their "original" (usually some remake, sequel, prequel, reboot or other tired idea) content is garbage. No I do not watch NRL at all in any form, only overseas sport I watch is NHL and I am happy just watching the highlight packages on my teams website. I haven't watched regular TV since about 2011/12, despite a couple of brief steaming subscriptions here in there in that time period I am good just playing video games, reading books and you know going outside.....I don't even have a smartphone and you know what, it is easy to live that way.
