I typically get a Big Game shirt as a Xmas present.  Basically, my letter to Santa is the same every year.  A Big Game shirt and a box of Christmas Ales from realale.com*. 


*other beer shops are available.

I have seen the two new shirts... Not for me, the money is staying in my pocket.

The home shirts I currently have are the "London Skyline", the one we won the 2012 season with. Also the Anniversary shirt.

For away shirts I have the first one which was quartered. Also the one with the diamond pattern on shoulders, the anniversary one, the black training shirt and the last few Big Game shirts.

Oh and a retro long sleeved one.

I have been a bit picky in  recent years of what shirts I will buy.

I used to buy pretty much every home and away shirt, and then the big games ones, as although I don't like the shiny material, I did like the designs. However, some of the more recent ones have either been too foul to contemplate wearing, or in the case of the home ones, too similar to the others, that I haven't bothered. Annoyingly, the best ones for years were the 150th ones and I left it too late and can't find one, either cotton or shiny, for love nor money.

One thing I think is a bit of shame with some of the away kits now is that it's just a standard adidas template using a couple of colours similar, but usually much more garish, than ours. The early away shirts, whilst they were not appreciated by many as we have no need for them, at least had some thought going into them, such as one which retained the quarters but had two white ones, or one with a big swathe of diamond pattern.

Will probably renew my casual wear as I wear that all the time. Not been a fan of the playing shirts for a long, long time. These latest ones are beyond ridiculous.

I've got the Braces one from 09/10, the London skyline one, The Anniversary one, and Big Game 1 to 3. I found the O'Neils fabric too rubbery to even contemplate having one of theirs.

I also made sure to buy 2 of the long-sleeved cotton version of the Anniversary year, as it's a pure classic, and the Adidas logo is hardly visible...

There was originally a few images posted on here but we had to remove them.

The official reveal is tomorrow, so not long to wait to a) be outraged, b) go "meh, it's a shirt" c) claim it's all a dastardly plot!

True, not long at all. Well in my opinion, if the away kit is that green one we briefly saw, it's still not as bad as that dreadful Northampton away Toolstation kit.

As suspected I don’t believe the shirts are aimed at the vast majority on here.
Although I did get last years BG shirt as I liked it
Won’t be buying the new ones, but if they come out with a decent quality full zip hoody I might part with the cash

I have a cotton traders NEC Harlequins of London with the quarters swapped. A Flowers original (square badge), the away one we won in in Cardiff with the diamonds and white which is quite itchy , the one we won the prem in and the 150 long sleeve cotton and replica playing. Plus a short sleeve cotton home with no ads on. I think that's enough and I will only buy one if we win something in it or any vintage ones that are going cheap. I would and have not paid more than £45 for one. My best bargain was the flowers original that I picked up for £2.50 at a boot sale. And it was unworn and still had that faint smell of just made about it.

The club will be posting one later on today.

EDIT
So, here it is:
Announcement Link: https://www.quins.co.uk/news/harlequins-launch-201819-home-and-away-kits/
Shop Link: https://shop.quins.co.uk/kits/adult/harlequins-home-shirt-2018-19.html
. Looks okay to me. Quarters are actual quarters as opposed to being offset to include the shorts like last season. Colours look okay, and the diamonds in the horizontal lines aren't out of place. But the price? OUCH! :o :o

Also, since they're using Smith in the marketing blurb sorts of knocks the rumouors on the head that he wants to leave...

I like them both - probably the best home shirt since the 150th one. It's worth watching the video clip on offy - what's not apparent from the static photos is that the lines are organised so they form a diamond pattern as the players move. It's a pretty cool effect.

To me, the new home shirt in particular looks a bit tougher and harder edged - hopefully something that will rub off on the players.
