As the year draws to a close, excitement is building for the 2023 Super League season.

Plenty of kits have been released for next season so we have rated the ones released so far.

Castleford Tigers Home: 7/10

A shirt that balances dark and light colours very well. A smart looking jersey but one slight niggle is perhaps the dominance of black on the shirt which is a departure from what youโ€™d usually expect from the Tigers.

Huddersfield Giants Home: 7/10

The vee is back at Huddersfield and plenty of fans are delighted. It certainly looks like a smart kit but the only criticism Iโ€™d have is that other than the vee the rest of the shirt is a touch plain.

Hull FC Home: 8/10

A lovely smart kit paying tribute to the clubโ€™s history. A modern shirt taht respects traditional, it is the quintessential Hull FC shirt but looks very smart and is adorned by gold details.

Hull FC Alternate: 7/10

Unlike their traditional home shirt, Hull FCโ€™s alternate shirt and their Magic Weekend shirt does something radical and new. It should be credited for this but wonโ€™t be everyoneโ€™s cup of tee.

Hull KR Home: 8/10

A smart and simple shirt from Hull KR going into 2023. Some have said it looks too much like an Arsenal shirt but it is a lovely modern kit which maintains Hull KRโ€™s usual look.

Hull KR Alternate: 8/10ย 

The Robinsโ€™ alternate kit and Magic Weekend shirt pays homage to their win over Queensland in 1983 and the Maroons themselves would be happy to wear this shirt. A lovely mix of maroon and gold.

Leeds Rhinos Home: 8/10

A bit of a different look for the Rhinos are they use a navy blue base as well as a white strip round the middle of the shirt. A really smart shirt for the Rhinos and a bit of a different look.

Leeds Rhinos Away: 7/10

Leedsโ€™ away kit seems to take ques from the Premier League with so many top football teams with jerseys of this colour. A modern look but not one that screams Leeds Rhinos.

Leigh Leopards Home: 6/10

A bold new look for a bold new era at Leigh, credit for their commitment to the rebrand with a shirt like no other but it certainly wonโ€™t be everyoneโ€™s cup of tee.

Wakefield Trinity Home: 9/10

Criticised by some fans for looking too much like a Leeds Rhinos shirt, the gold detailing is superb as are the lights and dark blue stripes which create a smart yet visually interesting shirt.

Wakefield Trinity Away: 10/10

Some Wakefield fans may wish that their away shirt was their home shirt. Still with gold detailing to celebrate the clubโ€™s anniversary, it has a white base and red and blue stripes in a modern, traditional and smart jersey.

Wigan Warriors Home: 8/10

Like many on this list, Wigan have respected tradition with their 2023 home shirt but has added a modern splash to it. A really smart decision.

Wigan Warriors Away: 7/10

Similar to the Hull FC away kit, the Warriors have done something different with their away kit with a black base with green, blue and purple lines making their way across the kit. Ambitious and it sticks the landing.
