If it was inspired by the Usk in Newport then surely it should be shades of muddy brown!

I realise it doesn't actually say that it's inspired by the Usk in Newport and that if you get the camera angle right and the sun is out on a cloudless day then you can get pictures where the Usk in Newport can appear blueish, but I can only think the design team were based somewhere between Abergavenny and Brecon.

I agree. When you look back at previous kits then the Tom Witton green stands out as one of the more iconic. I'll probably buy this one because it'll look good with jeans. And it'll likely become an iconic shirt. But more experimenting with the shirts would be welcome going forward. And it would be nice to see the sponsors logo more integral to the shirt, not looking like something sewn on at the last minute.
