To be worn tonight at the pre-season friendly v Cardiff.
What do you think?

The design elements of the new shirt are taken from Leicester's early years. Some time around 1885, the team played in an orange and brown kit, which led to a journalist from the Leicester Daily Post using the nickname 'Tigers' for the first time. The orange base of the new shirt is therefore surmounted by bold flecks of black and white to represent the markings of a tiger. Shorts and socks are also orange.

Blech!

Will these be the new fans :drool:

So when did green become their colour?

A) mere regurgitation of the marketing men's psychobabble, each new design is similarly justified IIRC
B) constant kit design changes are a fan fleecing illness
C) should aid peripheral vision
D) matches my boots
E) you selling off old stocks?
F) will make cockers more difficult to spot when he's banned from the touchline

Looks OK though
PS, I still wear this to England matches, determined to resist commercial exploitation as much as practicable.

Mixed memories of this one - we hired these beauties in South Africa and kitted them out with dresses and Dutch flags for guerrilla marketing at the South African football World Cup.
Then got our wrists well and truly slapped for breaking the World Cup sponsorship regs and also for promoting a beer. Anyone (except BFG) recall which brand it was and what was odd ?

Bavaria if memory still functions; strange name for a Dutch brand.

First thought that came to mind was 'Leicester are playing in super league this year'

Orangeboom springs to mind, but if they are the new Tigers supporters club then perhaps allegiances can be changed )

 

[Phil E]

The new shirts looked really good under the floodlights last night.
And we beat Cardiff, so they are now officially 'lucky shirts' :biggrin:

Met up with Dixie from this forum, who is actually a really nice bloke! :wink:

I prefer the Tiger's new jersey to Munster's lime green change strip.

Munster wore their new alternate kit when they faced Gloucester away (in the first preseason game) on Saturday August 23rd at Kingsholm.

They were hammered! Unlucky jersey? Luck doesn't come into it.

Exactly and it is 0% alcohol

Yes, the second largest brewery in the Netherlands produces 500 million litres of non-alcoholic beer per year. Or maybe not.

Oranjeboom, truly disgusting beer from Rotterdam/Breda. Think they may have gone out of business?

Simon, when you say "we hired these beauties" - were you working for Bavaria brewery?

 

[Dickie E]

Phil, will you use our feedback to tell the marketing people how to do their job too?

 

[tim White]

Munster's green shirts will stand out really well on grass -no, maybe not. What on earth were they thinking?

 

[L'irlandais]

...What on earth were they thinking?

Thoughts along the lines of "How do we generate more merchandising revenue this season?"

Though Rugby still has got along way to catch up with Football's Money League. The link on that page to Deloitte’s pdf is worth a squint. With gate-money decreasing each year, merchandising is becoming more important to clubs.

Yes we were their global ad agency at the time.

Imagine if Leicester signed Gavin Henson it'd look like a onesie!
