I agree it's comical. What's all this rubbish I've read about spoiling the surprise? It's going to be a red rugby jersey with two sleeves and a Salford Red Devils badge. I can't for the life of me imagine supporters fainting or wetting themselves with shock or surprise when they first see it. Neither can I imagine anyone saying "I really wish I hadn't seen it before the official launch, I've ruined it for myself".
We are talking about a rugby shirt here that costs less than a tenner to make not a wedding dress.
The only explanation is it's due to the new main shirt sponsor but this is usually always announced in advance by professional sporting brands like Manchester United etc. I wonder if the new sponsor is taking residence on land at Barton in the future and they want or announce that at the same time? It would make sense because I think the nearest facilities our new sponsor have at the moment is Warrington and they could be looking for a new facility closer to the real catchment area of Salford/Manchester. Just a thought.
