That is a beauty to kick them off

2005 was my favourite Rhinos SL kit

Was going to say is it a 2005 copy!

Certainly very very good from Oxen by the looks of it, very smart. I wonder if they will keep making copies of old kits as we go with 3 shirts a year (its called the principal shirt for example).

Thinking in comparison with football, I know quite a few high profile clubs will release their next year's home shirt for their final home game of the current season, sometimes even play in it.

Given Friday will likely be the last big crowd at Headingley for nearly 4/5 months it's a decent sales idea I guess.

[Chrispmartha]

We released the 2021 kit at the 2020 challenge cup final that really was early!

 

i think it’s a decent idea to release them for the last game of the year

[overtheborder]

Fair play this is early, but makes sense from a commercial point of view I suppose - can imagine most Leeds fans being happy with that one anyway!

I'd honestly automatically relegate them for such behaviour. Frankly, I consider it a crime we should still have the death penalty for.

Looks good

They won’t play in that, it'll be the usual Oxen collar.

The video that goes with it also confirms it will be white shorts.

Always nice to see classic kit designs.

[Loiner]

Great looking shirt we just need a decent team to wear it  

[Chrispmartha]

Dug out my original 2005 shirt - it highlights how much the quality of replica shirts (at Leeds at least) has deteriorated since the 00s.

The Patrick version is of a far better quality the new ones are just basically printed polyester tshirts with a collar

I'm sure we could dig out an old thread from 2004 complaining that the amber hoop is too high...

Probably:-)

its quite traditional for the amber hoop to be that high, see watersplash challenge cup shirt as an example

Great jersey. Arguably better than the traditional version with the amber bands round the middle. Certainly helps the main sponsor.

Sense of foreboding though. Calm before the storm. Guided by precedent, something exceptionally vile will replace it next year.

Does it never occur to SL clubs (apart from Saints) that indefinitely retaining a popular classic home jersey might be the best way to build their brand?

Roosters are a template. They don't change the basics of their home and away jerseys. Doesn't prevent them selling lots of other merch, including heritage models. Plus there are numerous RL Roosters dotted around Oz and further afield, similarly attired, all effectively promoting the NRL club in Sydney.

It's this year's Dons shirt but with one band. Nice shirt mind

What are dons doing copying a 20 year old Rhinos shirt?

More Oxen England RL apparel launches per year than actual England RL games.

After the 2004 and 2005 kits were reprised in 2024 and 2025 the 2006 one is waiting just around the corner in all its miserable depravity.

Nice to see that the new kit will be a 2 year thing. That also suggests that GB are not returning next year.
