Stade are owned by a media mogul who seems to think that publicity is all good, the past few seaons have seen strips very similar in their 'off the wall' nature.

This season's (http://www.rugbyshop.com/en/boutique/liste_produit?type_liste=top&values=SF) strips are no different. Thing is, they are able to back it up on the pitch, with attractive and effective rugby.

Stade have had some awful tops in the last few years all on a par with that top.

Serious case of the oxymorons there.

Rugby can never been attractive. Ever.

Vile sport. They all deserve a strip as truly minging as that. In fact all players, fans and followers of the sport should be made to wear it all times so normal people can point accusingly at them.

IMHO of course...

Thing is, that top, and the preceding ones like it, have been seen as "mould-breaking" and " appealing to the new audience" over on the continent, as opposed to the "what a bunch of nancies" and "Jesus that's not at all like a Hibs top" style reactions they get from "enlightened" folk back here.

I personally don't like them, but find they provide an intersting insight into the effectively conservative and tribal nature of following Scottish fitba'.

See a strip that takes you out of your comfort zone - "must be worn by a bunch of weirdos/uphill gardeners"

Love to see that attitude survive in the face of most of the Stade Francais players................. :faf::faf:

I'm all for an innovative way of modernising things but that is just OTT, but there you go it's probably doing it's job and getting people all over the world on messageboards discussing it

I wonder what the players think when they are in the dressing rooms getting changed into yon thing :jamboak:

stade francais have been trendsetters for ages but generally french rugby has been fairly avant garde wwith rugby tops. Pau used to play in neon pink a few years back.

I DO LIKE RUGBY, was brought up playing it. Just can't understand why some people refuse to give it any time at all and calling it an upper class sport, maybe in Edinburgh and Glasgow but get into the Borders and North East of Scotland and you'll see small towns with reasonable rugby teams. I turned out for a Perthshire Schools Select against the Edinburgh equivalent (we won)back in the 1980s and more people turned up to see us than the St Johnstone game.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the away strip being a bit avant garde, maybe not pink (a bit of a big leap for some elements in our support) what about a purple and green checked strip, I like the idea of a spin on the croatian home strip in green and purple. It would get people talking. Done right and the marketing potential is fantastic. I'm all for tradition but let us at least be a bit imaginative.

That has to be made up surely???
Even the Newcastle Banana strip has to be better
