walkerws Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 So is this an upgrade or down grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi_canadian Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hard to say right now. Will have to wait and see when the kits come out. Both companies are based out of Australia and Paladin is relatively new. With X-Blades, some kits they hit the mark on and others not so much. You really got a mixed bag. The only team that has revealed their new kits are the Seattle Seawolves. 2020 kits: The last 2 seasons by X-Blades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's South Africa's version of Color Rush. Another way to get people buying extra shirts. They don't get the same crowds like in Australia, who also do this from tike to time. Heck South African teams don't even use their city names, they use the sponsor name in front of the team names usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
