Davidson Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 what do people think?to be perfectly honest, im a firm believer that england should be in navy socks. they have been for 120 odd years and i think its wrong to change now. unsymetrical strips belong in football.

gordie_delini Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 poor excuse for a rugby shirt if you ask me. come on nike, you're doing such beautiful things with football kits, it's time to step it up with the rest of your teamwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 poor excuse for a rugby shirt if you ask me. come on nike, you're doing such beautiful things with football kits, it's time to step it up with the rest of your teamwear.No doubt... these kits seem to be very generic Nike--don't they have football compression shirts that look like this?

Jarred Revolver Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 And by looking at those photos, that's the reason why NOT to pick a fight with a rugby player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 thats nothing mate. you want to check out the all black boys. hayman, collins, nonu and co. its the polynesians mate. they dont grow em small.i played my rugby for otago in new zealand aswell as playing for south west england. i can tell you for fact that playing colts (u18) in otago with the farm boys, maori and the big samoans is tougher than playing senior footy in europe. those kids are monsters!

DEAD! Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I just hope England NEVER wears the red shirts against Wales I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 i cant remember the last time they wore an away jersey in 15 a side? they did in the 1991 world cup against the usa or something? the only other team would have been fiji i guess, as they also wear white.

harperdc Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I don't like it. should be a much better, simpler design for England.and I also don't like the move to tighter shirts with stretchier material...if it's not indestructible, it's not a flipping rugby shirt!

Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The cross on the left shoulder kinda looks like the Puma logo from far away. I don't see how Nike could have allowed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 it sort of does in those images. it looks less like that in others. its the george cross, the english flag. well at least on the white jersey it is. its more like the danish or swiss on the red jersey which seems pretty naiive to me.those little crosses have been a recurring theme in english sports kits of the last few years.

kiwi_canadian Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Doesn't France look similar for their world cup kits? I've also seen the new All Blacks tops up close. They have that fern design on the black shirts as well. The good thing is, you can't really see them from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Looks like underarmour, not a rugby shirt. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 These are absolutely horrible. The French kits actually look better. And they are ugly as well. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Umbro called, they want their shoulder-cross design back. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

harperdc Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 france would look similar because they were still a Nike team last I checked, and Nike likely are doing template designs this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratcher Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yes, same template... Navy for Home, White for Awayhttp://dontworryberugby.blogs.paramourduru..._1174317467.jpghttp://dontworryberugby.blogs.paramourduru..._1174315279.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks for those links scratcher. The original images looked black for the home shirt which was a shocker.To be honest, rugby is a hard physical man's game. (Though the ladies play and might actually be rougher ). It needs clean jerseys with simple lines to maintain a rugged look. These poncy curved stripes look like they belong on a netball team. Terrible.
