I think a "heritage" jersey for the final test at Headingley wouldn't be a surprise. 

That said they have repeatedly insisted that this is the kit for 2 years and so far have stuck to it.

They sold a RLWC shirt, then brought a new one out when the WC was postponed, they can't be trusted.

Perhaps its nostalgia (and the fact I own 2 of them), but the England kits between ISC and BLK, 2011 to 2017 were all really good. 

The paint stripe was unique and remains pretty iconic. The 2013 world cup was very classy but obviously holds some sadness, but was also warn in the 2014 4 nations. The special heritage shirt for that match in Melbourne 2014 was great too. 

Perhaps that general era of ISC kits was just really good compared to now. The shirts remain good quality years later both England and club shirts. I don't remember any stinkers from them either they even managed to make the Latte Wigan shirt look alright!

BLK was a good solid provider, I've personally got the 2015 jersey from the kiwi series which is great save for the somewhat oversized badge, and 2016/17 cross design seemed to get the implementation of the cross really well in a non tacky way.

Hummel was sadly a downgrade, and Oxen have been well Oxen.

In fairness, I think covid was definitely hitting them at that point, and I do not think the retro effort sold well at all.

The sooner we bin off Oxen the better.

Might wear this one at Wembley:

That looks like something from a Greenwood's window display. Agree about Oxen though.

Much prefer this dogs breakfast then all of the Oxen kits put together. and that's saying a lot.

If they can hold off long enough, they’ll sell a bucketload of them if/when they do come to sell a heritage style shirt. Was actually a bit disappointed we went back to red and white this year 

Same here. Despite initially being outraged on the day of the rebrand at the loss of heritage, I’d rather we moved full time to black and gold as a home shirt

Is 4 above or below average at this point?

That is awful, and I'm glad I don't remember it ever being played in.

Please deleted this before someone from Oxen sees it and passes it off as a new design.

That’s a nice idea, and a nice jersey.

If I'm honest, like both the Salford & Castleford shirts. Both smart.

[Tommygilf]

The Cas shirt isn't terrible, though given their own colours I thought they could do a PNG inspired shirt a bit better?

Salford seem to keep being saved by VX3 on their brand front. Consistently decent shirts and this is a modern version of a very dated era that doesn't look bad.

Saints' third kit is genuinely awful. Who has signed up on the shiny badges because they have taken it too far??

I mean the current shirt has elements of it, the navy pinstripes under the arms and allusions to a vee without actually having one. It's essentially a merger of this and that Admiral England football shirt.

The problem Salford have got is they might shift a few hundred of them if they are lucky.

Even if it us (they article was released 31 march), it's still shocking 

[DI Keith Fowler]

I love it. It's classy, its sensitive to French culture, it reminds me of fruit salad sweets. What's not to like?
