What was the results of the exeter chiefs pre season?

They haven't had any yet as far as I'm aware because of the Steenson testimonial match. Got a couple this weekend though; I believe against the Cornish Pirates and Newport.

Ahh right cheers mate keep us posted

New Bath away kit is really nice, IMO, no dicking about.

Euro would be better without the gold stripes, and with solid blocked white/blue stripes on the chest, instead of that weird fade thing.

The home shirt would be better with the new cut of shirt too, I'm not a fan of old school collars, they're utterly redundant.

I really like that Euro kit
The away one is just a white t shirt

You do know that they're just showing the 3 difference styles available yeah? the players won't be wearing the collar like that; that's just the style of the cotton replica - whilst the European shirt is the style the players themselves will wear, and the white is the supporter's knock-down equivalent.

"This seasons official replica, the exact jersey the players will be wearing on match day."

With traditional collar.

Yeh i like the Euro one, the away one is as Olyy says just a white shirt.

 

[ratsapprentice]

White shirt blue shorts.

Much better than the worksite safety vest Sale have been wearing.

I'l believe it when I see it - I really don't see the only difference between the 3 variations of home shirt being the the classic has a button; and yet the away and European shirts have a completely different style.
Far more likely that there was a cock-up attaching which JPEG to which product IMO.

If yo're right though... Meh - so it's got a collar, no big deal, and many people prefer one.

I still prefer buying old style long sleeve shirts and collars, far more comfortable for everyday wear and I don't need to wear a shirt that is made of the same material as the players. As to what the players wear 'eh well that's down sports science in my book rather than aesthetics couldn't really care.

So all I give a damn about is colour scheme and we're good on that front no real change for three seasons. We've had better European kits though.

Just a white shirt is still better than that horrible grey one we had before. Not a fan of the collar shirts personally but no biggie, I've only ever thought it looked ridiculous with Duncan Weir as he had a habit of popping his up to exacerbate his already vanishing neck.

I forgot Leicesters answer to Mike Ford was at Edinburgh,
How long before he gets sacked from this role?
