Them 3 shirts are really cool. The Streetwise one is my favourite ever.

Didn't realise these were out now. Rovers asked for my input on them in the summer, looks like they listened to me with the green one (although the red piping is a little over pronounced), but not so much with the 88-89 home shirt, where the blue line should be close to the tip of the 'V'.

I'm much more of a 'hunt down the original' man myself, meaning I wasn't best thrilled when the 83-84 home remake was released, as suddenly everyone had a version of the shirt I'd spent a decade finding. Still, I'm sure they'll sell pretty well.

I reckon that 03-05 home shirt must be a contender for biggest selling ever Rovers shirt; it felt like it was everywhere when it came out.

They were in the club shop the last home game, and afraid to say, they looked like rip offs you would pick up from turkey. The quality in my opinion was very poor, I know there only a homage to the old shirts but a little more quality could have gone a hell of a long way.

Shame I think elite sports have done some fantastic stuff since coming in on board!

Sorry have the disagree with regards to elite sports. I think the quality of clothing is terrible. Bought 4 items from them in the past 2 seasons and none have stood the test of time.

Contrast that with some under armour gym gear I bought 5/6 years ago, which still looks like new - no comparison in quality at all

I would disagree with you on your view.
I’ve bought quite a few of the rugby training tops for the gym and they are of a great quality.
