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

Absolument

Not a fan. Also why do representative shirts and international shirts have sponsers on. Fine with pre match wear, but the actual shirts shouldn't.

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. 

I think there’s some confusion of what England RL should look like. We had the cross for years and tried to build a brand around that then ditched it at the last World Cup. 
 

They don’t want to use 3 lions to try and stand out from other English teams (even though pretty much every Irish team uses a shamrock, France use the #### and Scotland use the thistle). Id rather them just play in a GB kit with the lion on.

Oxen have made some good stuff for clubs but England has been underwhelming

I just feel there's something almost dirty but definitely wrong with seeing the famous Australia iconic shirt, with Gallaghers written on it. Especially the aboriginal one.

Canberra's ANZAC day jersey. Another great jersey ruined by a huge sponsor but bills have to be paid.

I get that the England shirt from last year will be retained for the Ashes but I logged on to our online Oxen store today thinking there might be some new training kit to tempt me in but nothing has changed since Xmas!!!!!!!!

Will be interesting to see if and when some new merch gets launched.

Fartown's Magic '3rd' kit

This is to promote the local children's hospice - Forget-me-not, who are strugglng for funds to stay open.

The club and HGSA have already raised funds through season card and membership sales and other events but it's still not enough.

Hopefully these will sell well and vital funds raise.

I've attached the link for the full story if anyone is interested in it.
