Are we expecting to see new kit this coming year?or are they sticking blue and orange for another year, have a gift to but soon and don’t want to make a mistake.

I'd expect to see a new kit with the same colours as last season, they need to sell merchandise every season and the best way is to have new gear each September.

There will be a new kit in the blue/orange colour scheme.

I'm expecting a all orange change kit. Might be up for one of those, just in case I'm ever lost at sea or need to attract the attention of the Mountain Rescue helicopter.

...Or if you’re ever near Tannadice Park

Thanks guys, thought it might be the case but public release might be a bit late for a gift, maybe I can send an IOU.

Probably still quite early to be releasing kit, epsecially with a lot of the national teams doing so at the moment.

Im still clinging to the hope that they are holding back a big signing for the launch and a final push on STs.

Think this is possible, by my reckoning, our squad size going into the start of the season is exactly the same as in the non-RWC years over the last three seasons (46), and that included Douglas only for part of the season this season. Could easily be another 2 to come in to cover for 9 likely to be missing to the Scotland and Fiji squads and another 5 possibles.

Kit "teaser" video now on Twitter. Always reminds me of the Mystery Guest section in Question of Sport.

I heard it was being released today, no more news anyplace, false alarm?

It's out.

Just got mail too.

Nothing earth shattering but not terrible to look at, prices as expected.

Be interesting to see how sales go this season. Last year was bumper due to the colour change but there is very little change (other than very close up) in the appearance of the kit and hence I doubt many will be doubling up on this year and last year's kit. The new hoodie is an abomination.

Glasgow's new kit however is utterly honkin' and a clear indication that, in addition to the SRU, Macron are blatantly favouring the East

Definitely feel like the alternate kit is the much nicer of the two, seems a lot less blocky that last years and the designs stand out a bit better. Home is fairly standard but we definitely got the better deal, Glasgow's is honking which is surprising given that they're usually up there with the better jerseys in the league.

I imagine they'll still get a certain amount of sales from fans who haven't adopted the new colours yet, so probably no need to get too adventurous.
