Oh good. Another "stuff their heritage" shirt I don't want. I
guess having two of our colours (sky blue and black) is a start,
but I'm not sure that is actually sky blue. 3/10 for effort,
adidas...

I do quite like this short but agree with the comments above
that it's disappointing / cheap / lazy / naff just having the
plain back. I'm sure they'd say it's to help sponsors / player
numbers stand out, but I think it's just to avoid them having to
think about what to put on the back.
I also agree that, while I'm all for something different in the
away / BG / 3rd kits, I'd still like to see at least some sort
of link to Quins, be it quarters, diamonds, colours, etc.
Still, we should be grateful that we have a decent home kit at
the moment. Sale and Bristol's offerings are rank

They should only make shirts that work in cotton too - horrible
polystyrene shirts - yuk!

There are diamonds on the third shirt.

Also, if it's made from washed up rubbish, shouldn't it be
cheaper!

Hand selected rubbish. Picked by experts. You pay a premium
for that.

Don't get me started on all this recycling of rubbish rubbish!

1) Dump rubbish in the sea
2) Realise that might be a problem
3) Trawl the rubbish back out of the sea
4) Work out a way to monetise it
5) Hand it to a committee to make something out of it
6) Come up with something that more or less exactly fails to
represent the Quins brand
7) Sell it at full price.
Don't get me wrong, I am very much in favour of getting all this
junk out of the sea (I'd like to see more being done to stop it
getting in there in the first place) and it is great to be able
to monetise it if that means you can reinvest in getting more
junk out of the sea, but worthy as it is, if you really want to
monetise it, you need to understand your market...and for every
fan that likes the variation, there are two that prefer Quins to
retain their colours in some form or other.
Last shirt I bought was the 150 year anniversary one; not seen
anything worth parting with cash for since.

But isn't that the point? Those that prefer the quarters and
original colours can but the home shirt. Those that just like
the 2nd or 3rd shirts can buy those.
If you don't like any of them, don't buy any. There'll be
another one next season.
