hats off to Umbro...they were the only ones so far ballsy enough to try new things with the kangaroos..even the v's were thicker on the main jersey. Let's hope ccc follow through and try new things
You probably think white jerseys are a good idea...
WC Pirates first ever home and away jeseys are now back in stock and availble online:

All profits support the development of RL in the West.
I really dont understand the dislike for the Pirates jerseys, the tick a lot of boxes of all the things everyone seems to complain about. Sure I think they could have been better, but theyre pretty bloody good, and better than a lot of jerseys currently in the NRL. I know some people dont like side panels, I dont mind them if used right, these are 50/50.
Its like everyone wants any and every club to have variations of Souths, Roosters and Dragons jerseys. I get it, theyre traditional and historic, but they belong to those clubs, and in these modern times, they are kind of bland.
Everything about the reds was better and i think they potentially could have had the best looking jersey in the NRL. Now we get..... that.
It shits me to tears that the NRL make everyone have radically different jerseys for differentiaion but then allow the refs, and opposing players to wear the same colour shorts and/or sock.
I'd like to see every international rugby league nation playing with a double chevron on their jersey based on the exact same template. It would signify a unity throughout the game globally.
