Im just wondering if they have printed the " England 6 nations 2012 : 2-3 Glory" shirts yet

I think it could work. Like Wales' "4th in the World Cup Glory" shirts that sold so well in Splott Market.

I wouldn't buy it no, but then again, I don't support England, so that'd be why. I prefer Canterbury to Nike anyway.

have I just gone colourblind or is that White and brown? Ravishing combo if so.

Don't like it at all. Why the random lines? And the neckline looks oddly low...

by EnglishReign Sat 03 Mar 2012, 4:20 pm

Looks dreadful, yet can see it happening.

I'd imagine if there are different coloured panels they will be red and then blue stitching.

USA uses white with blue panels and red stitching:

Spoiler:

Russia's alternative strip is all white with no panels and red stitching:

Spoiler:

Scotland's alternative strip is white with lighter blue panels and blue stitching:

I do like the Scotland away shirt Very Happy

by gelodge Sat 03 Mar 2012, 6:59 pm

I really like the Russian one. Go Bears!

I have to say the only problem with Canterbury is that all the kits are the same just different colours.

That's true of all the manufacturers. Colour is the only difference between the Ireland & Namibia Puma shirts, the AB & Arg Adidas shirts, the Aus & Fiji Kooga shirts, the Eng & Fra Nike shirts.

by HERSH Sat 03 Mar 2012, 8:46 pm

The England and France shirts are very different this time.

by Knowsit17 Sat 03 Mar 2012, 8:56 pm

Looks awful, like someone with bowel problems went woopsie on a sheet of paper! vomit

What is it with England and colours? First they're white, then red, then black and now they want to be brown. What's going on?

Aside from a slight difference in the collars I don't really see anything significant. The cut, panels & texturing are identical.

Not much different from Wales having had blue, black, green, that disgusting yellow and the Admiral Insurance corporate coloured away shirts in recent years.

That will be all

by gowales Sun 04 Mar 2012, 10:13 am

Should've gone with Adidas

by SecretFly Sun 04 Mar 2012, 10:22 am

I thought the ...what commenoration one was it?...some commemoration one (Battle of Trafalgar or something Wink

) a few years back (retro look) were nice, and should have been used for longer than one game!

by gowales Sun 04 Mar 2012, 10:25 am

I think that was the 100 year RFU anniversary one. Yea that looked great, probably my favourite "modern" English shirt

No, you're wrong again. The cut and texturing on the home & away French test shirts are identical:

You're making the mistake of comparing it to the replica shirt:

by gowales Sun 04 Mar 2012, 1:26 pm

Well at least it has some subtle differences. The Canterbury shirts are all identical

It's pretty clear that this topic, the links included and specifically my comments are regarding international shirts, not club.

But in any case, your above comment is mostly not correct. Aside from the colour schemes these various brand country & club designs are identical or near as damn it.

Kooga:

I was referring to Nike

by gelodge Sun 04 Mar 2012, 6:10 pm

And still irrelevant to the specifics of my original comment to which it was directed.

by gowales Sun 04 Mar 2012, 6:16 pm

Although looking at Kooga,
These don't look like the Aussie one

Regarding this side issue of club shirts being different in design from international, as I said,

gelodge wrote:mostly not correct

The point I clearly made and provided evidence for when I stated

gelodge wrote:these country & club designs

was that Kooga and the majority of other brands do produce club shirts that have the same design as their international ones. My comments specifically didn't rule out that some are different.

Wrong again my friend they're different shirts, different cuts etc. Open your eyes! Shocked

by Woodstock Mon 05 Mar 2012, 9:18 am

It's an england shirt, I will have 15 of them hand them out to 15 Kiwis with some English ancestory and they would do better than the poor souls you have playing now. You know the ones who have to depend on Englsih fans squeezing as many excuses as they can for their losses what what.

I doubt I would buy it. Why do they need to put other colours on it??? Should just be white.

I only ever buy the retro shirts anyway. A plain white jersey (no advertising! mad

) with a red rose on it, although these are becoming harder to find.

by Effervescing Elephant Mon 05 Mar 2012, 9:59 am

You could design a canterbury shirt with your eyes closed. They're all just variations on a theme. They should'veused Samurai, have you seen the Chiefs cup shirt? Magnificent! Very Happy

by HERSH Mon 05 Mar 2012, 9:59 am

I normally only buy RWC shirts as they don't have O2 on it, but last years effort from Nike was poor plus I’d be to ashamed to wear that one anyway.

by Woodstock Mon 05 Mar 2012, 10:03 am

The Nike logo, the O2 and that silly flower all spoil a perfectly good T shirt.
