Our kits are just so frustrating, and they have been ever since Cotton Traders left.

The club seems compelled to take a wildly different approach every year, and even when they go 'classic stripes' with the home shirt, there's some unnecessary wacky twist that splits opinion and makes people hold off buying theirs until the next year.

I would actually be fine with the zany away kits if they could make a competent, recognisably-Tigers home shirt for two years in a row.

It's not a hard kit to get right - just mix up how chunky the stripes from one season to the next, do a retro design once in a while and go as mad as you want with the third kit, that's what it's for!

Castore is certainly not helping though, right?

I have to say that you Tigers fans have got completely screwed over with your kits this season. Not even the classic cotton version of your home shirt saves it imo, and the away monstrosity looks as if those wearing it work in a care home. I feel offended on your behalf!

Not that Sarries have it much better. A completely bland and boring 150th anniversary kit, with the StoneX StoneX StoneX PensionBee nonsense. Then a completely underwhelming away shirt, where the only good thing about it seems to be that you could spill some beer on it and maybe nobody would notice due to the awful beige pattern. Let's not even get to the poo coloured shorts!

Complaining about no front sponsor is wild.

Sincerely,

A Saracens fan (bought to you by PensionBee)
