Ha, hadn't seen the 'away' one. That's even worse than the 'home' one. If it wasn't bad enough that they released a new World Cup shirt for the World Cup they've already released a new World Cup shirt for, they come up with this using the classic England blue. What a joke…

They had already released and sold an England shirt for the World Cup. They have now changed it before the world cup and made it look like a Saints away / Yorkshire shirt.

just looked after i spotted it in the corner, it's the captains run training shirt apparently. Seems to have the names of all the english pro & amateur clubs written on it. Nice touch to be fair.

Yep saw after I posted that it's essentially a training tee. That said, the fact that I just assumed that was an away shirt tells a story of just how low the expectations of the Oxen shirts are. This has got to be one of the laziest kit releases of all time which is a pretty big achievement for a company who seems to have built itself on being able to churn stuff out on demand.

Oxen's business model seems to amount to constantly releasing "new" stuff, I get emails regularly telling me the new Leeds range, the new England range etc. It is all terrible quality too, even if it looks interesting in the store photos.
England's second new shirt of the summer, replacing the official RLWC 2021 kit before they even started the tournament, its not even an alternative kit which could have been OK. What a bunch of grifters.
