I've found that the comments on that site definitely tend to the cringeworthy.

That FFR badge ursus posted is the one the Federation Francaise de Rugby use on their official website, although they have the old badge on the shirts, at least.

The new Wales shirt is embargoed until tomorrow ;)

EDIT: oops!!

Horrific, too busy and cheap looking and the wrong shade of red (Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup rather than the deep red of the flag).

I don't know what to think really. It isn't disimilar to the last "new" Wales kit which I finally saw yesterday.

Not a disaster but not anything special.

Has he got a false right leg?

It is quite cheap looking, Harri, but I put that down to the fact I have never seen "Champion" on a proper kit.

I will reserve judgement on the colour until I see it live

What is the white circle on the left shoulder in the photo at the top? It doesn't appear to be in the bottom photos

I think it's champion's logo

The new Boca Juniors kit has been unveiled.

At least they've got rid of those bloody stars on the badge. But what a horrible shade of yellow.

Looks ok - so they've got bored of updating the stars everytime they win a title then.

Probably just sore that they haven't had to update it at all this year...

Earlier, I took possesion of our new replica kits. There's only one problem. The replica kits should be called fans' shirts as they look nothing like the teams' kit.

The look is not the only difference. The fans version will cost £32 but we will have to charge, wait for it, £60, yes 60 fucking pounds for the players' version. Our lovely supplier is charging considerably more for the players' version.

Fans' Version



Players' Version


As you can see the players' version is like Italy's kit. I hoped for the Czech Rep's but you can't have everything.

I think the reason for the price difference is that the Players' version comes from the future; it is not stitched together, it's fused together. I don't know what this achieves, except to make the shirt feel fragile.

That is some discrepancy there.

By the way, asmentioned elsewhere, I have seen the new Wales kit in the flesh (as it were)

Horrible, slightly less wrong red than the picture suggests but the white piping is shit and the shorts feel horrible. The dragon on the back is just bizzare

That Wales kit is nasty - it looks like the generic kits you get for your Sunday morning team.
