I don't understand the need for a different shirt every year tbh. We've kept the same home shirt for 08/09 seasons and thats it :/

2007 - was a decent shirt with the hoops. I think we should play 2012 to 2013 in this kit

2008/2009 - home shirt was good basic and simple. Away for 08 was the black one? which was pretty good but that blue one was ace. Should have had Blue one for 2010 away kit.

2010 - excellent shirt, should have kept it until 2011. And also had 2009 blue away kit for this season. The red away kit was ace I thought and should have had that for 2011/12 seasons.

2011 - good home shirt but should have had it 2014/15 seasons. Purple away kit is the best one for a few years should have kept thatfor 2013/14 seasons.


For every odd year they should change the away kit but for every even year change home kit.

In an ideal world I'd agree but replica shirts are a major source of income to club and one of ways they can afford to offer the cheaper season tickets is by generating more income from shirt sales. At end of the day no ones forcing anyone to buy them every year.

I meant no need to change both kits every year.

Of course there is, as has been mentioned it is a major (perhaps THE major) source of income that a club have. And I dare say if we did NOT bring out a new kit each year then the fans would demand one as it is always a real highlight of the pre-season and a source of excitement when a new kit is revealed.

Anyway, if people do not like it one year they will probs buy the following years one keeping a regular source of income to the club.

Good point to be fair

Can't please all the people all the time. Personally i wasn't too keen on the new shirts at first. But there grew on me and i purchased the home one this season. I have seen more replica shirts this year than any other i can remember. The purple seemed to sell really well

It was mentioned earlier in year when initial orders had run out that club had sold significantly more shirts, both home and away than they had for a number of years.

Pink away strip would be good. Leeds away strip this year is awesome.

One thing I'd like to see, which would go some way to pleasing most people maybe as far as kit designs is concerned, is for the RFL to establish a heritage round of games, celebrating the rich history of rugby League, like the NFL do on the thanksgiving weekend games.

Each team picks an old famous kit from its history and wears it only for that weekend as a one off for that years special edition heritage shirt, charities could be sponsored in leiu of old companys where appropriate.

We could do it for the Easter weekend games so every team gets to wear it at home at least once over the two games.

This way the "heritage/traditional" shirt is a valid 3rd shirt for the club to produce each year. The problem will be in numbers to produce, so it might need the design released at the start of the season and shirts to be produced on preorders?

Just a thought, certain to never happen, but it would keep me happy at least if it did!

Why don't Kooga come up with 3-4 designs and let the members choose which one to wear.

You could have two traditional and two modern/alternative.

I think Cas did something similar a few years back.

Because they will charge more for this and everyone knows were skint.

Why would they charge more? They will provide the club with more that one drawing, all the club needs to do is put an earlier deadline on these preliminary designs and put out a poll.

You would however risk people not buying one if their favorite didn't get picked.

They should let me design it.

YAWN!

This year's shirt is excellent and the sales figures seem to back up that it is popular. Genius idea from the OP and those who seem to be in agreement to bring back an antiquated design that few people even care for anymore; that's guaranteed to sell loads and generate masses of revenue for the club...

Add to that the idea of keeping kits for several seasons so that after year 1 your revenue stream from shirt sales flatlines and you've got a truely excellent business model there.

The reason why the likes of Hull FC keep their kit "traditional" is, if I remember rightly, that they tried a different design in the not too distant past and it was loathed by the fans and didn't sell. So they now play it safe with their designs. However, it doesn't take much to notice that these here modern Bulls shirt designs DO actually sell; just open your eyes on a matchday.

Or perhaps the handful of miserable sods who are caught in the past should just keep whinging about it, I'm sure that'll change everything.
