Nike's Revenge

It appears that Nike's final act as the kit supplier to the RFU has been to stick luminous yellow reflective strips onto the kit of the England Sevens teams.

The new kit, modelled here by Chris Cracknell and Michaela Staniford, will feature at the final two tournaments of the World Series in Glasgow and London next month.

Nike, who will be replaced by Canterbury as England kit supplier from September, look as if they might have the last laugh with this effort - unless, of course, it is all part of a cunning plan by the RFU to play the London Sevens in the dark.
