I know Cas ran a competition last year, and they have their kit produced by Puma, who are a lot bigger than Kooga, Sheffield Wednesday also listened to fans views on their current home kit, and ran a vote for the away kit, again made by Puma.

Totally agree. Your kit designs are fantastic and though the Wigan Bull - Stuart dialogue is great, one thing that is ducked is why the refusal to contemplate some of the away kits designs that have been suggested - RAB hoops was clearly very popular on here, who are the people that bought this year's red with silver bananas effort that would have turned their noses up at RAB hoops?

I know that one off kits don't sell well, but we're not talking about just a retro shirt here, rather an away kit with retro elements.

Was this when we were at thorpe?

I think I remember that!

Bring back the Purple and Green

I would actually buy one of those shirts from the original post, I think they look brilliant!

Yep, just looked it up - the kit was used from 1991-93, the lad in my class was Andy but I can't remember his surname or the name of his brother (who designed the kit).



Sadly I thought it was great at the time!!

to be honest i'm more concerned what inside the shirt next season

The whole shirt conversation annoys me. It seems we release one every year, even the other year when they said it'd be every 2 years.

the away shirt has always been changed annually as its a key source of income for club. Plan was for home shirt to only be changed every two years iirc. 08/09 we had the same. 07 was centenary year so was an exception. Cant remember if we had same for 05/06 seasons. I'd suspect if we do bring out a new home one next year then its because this years effort has been pretty unpopular and we havent shifted anywhere like as many as usual ( seems backed up by fact shop are selling off remaining stocks).

Have you sent your designs to the club? Why not try contacting them and telling them they've received a lot of attention on here. A supporter designed kit might be worth a shot, it would need some selling to Kooga who would presumably see it as undermining their design role, but if it could be spun in some way - a £1 from every shirt to the Bulls community foundation for example, they might get on board as it could be good publicity for Kooga to support something along these lines. Or perhaps they'd make a limited run for the Magic weekend and the team could wear it as a one off with proceeds from shop sales (at a supplement say £50 each) going towards the community foundation. The NRL clubs do this sort of thing regularly and auction off the players shirts. Something along these lines would only need a few phone calls and a bit of nouse to set up - could get a lot of goodwill and publicity.

Do you know, it never ceases to amaze me, the fantastic ideas I read on here? The club should really try engaging with the fans more, they really don't know what they are missing out on.

Indeed.

Which is why we're going to try and improve this engagement through BullBuilder.
And to re-iterate - if you think you can offer something, then get involved, however small you think the contribution will be.

Stockdale......IIRC.
