Crusaders new effort for the remainder of this season and 2012 also at last. (hats off to the club for keeping it for a year and a half although I feel they had no choice.



I am happy with the design but hope the quality is there.

It's puma, it wont be too bad. Good design too incorporating the traditional rugby league chevron.

Crusaders kit is good ('less is more' idea is normally successful).



I must say though, i am sad that the current kit was never available, as i do like the kukri kit they play in currently - particularly the collar. Not so keen on the round 't shirt' neck on this one.

Cas wanted to launch their away kit in R2. The RFL let them.

I'd like to see the RFL take control of kit deals, using one supplier for the whole of the league with potential suppliers having to bid for the rights, like they do in the NFL.

Why though? You'd probably end up with alot of kits looking the same barring the colours.

unless the size of the deal was 14 x the highest kit deal, then clubs could easily end up earning less than they do now. Id find it highly surprising if a kit manufacturer was prepared to pay the same amount for Wakefield/Crusaders/Quins et al as they are Leeds/Wigan/Hull etc.

Like you do in the NFL.



Besides, ISC are doing their damn hardest to take over rugby league kit manufacturing on their own.

Bring back Avec and Le Coq Sportif!

I remember when super league started in aus, all the kits were made by puma, had no sponsors and had the super league logo. all teams had the same design, but there teams authentic colours

Nearly, but it was Nike, not Puma.
