Bloody ********!
 
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! They're bloody awful!



Guarentee Cyril loves them.
 
Wales have traditionally always worn all red, WTF are the WRU playing at.
 
Aye, it's very silly. If I saw that without the crest I'd think Tonga or Japan before Wales.
 
First we get rid of our class sponsors in Brains ... and now this shambles of a kit. I think I died a little inside!
 
Who are admirla by the way? I would have thought that if they were going to get rid of Brains they would have gone fore a massive payday off someone like O2 or the like.
 
That is truely truely aweful.
Really bad,
Brains was a class sponsor as well (how many pubs in Wales are going to have to ditch all of their pint glasses now because of the "Sponsors of the WRU" on them?)
Admiral are an Insurance company


That's really disappointing, i quite liked the Under Armour kits they had before, these are just rank.
 
I quite like the black one, but not as a national team jersey. It'd be great for a club that wears red and black, but for the Welsh national team, they're jokes of jerseys.
 
DAM!! That is awful!!!

What were the WRU thinking!??!!! that is a tavesty and a slap in the face of tradition.

The current administrators should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen
 
If they felt they absolutely HAD to go with a two-tone jersey kit, then why not something like this?

At least it would have been true to the real colours of Wales.
 
Yuck...


WRU should be spanked for accepting that crap.
 
NO NO NO NO ... NO ... NO ... You don't mess with the colours of a National team's jerseys (I don't care which nation we are talking about)


... it's bad enough that there's a tread to change the away strips ... put the sponsors logo on that covers a small area of the jersey ... THAT'S THE ONLY COMPROMISE !
 
I don't mind the red/green one cooky nocked up, reminds me of the Wales RL kit


In better news, the kit does look slightly better on than off:

Only reasons the red/green occurred to me was because of this

and the fact that I remember watching Wales play in a green strip with a red collar and wrists at the 1987 RWC when they played Tonga in Palmerston North (I was posted to Ohakea at the time). Glenn Webbe (the first black player I had ever seen playing for Wales) got a hat-trick that day including one while he was still concussed after a heavy tackle.
 
I like it when it's actually on. The away kit is awful though, it's like the Wallabies home kit in the fact that it looks like a training jersey.
