It'll be like cheering on Hull FC.

Naffest kit since 2000 IMO.

The main problem is the commercial imperative which dictates new shirts virtually every season. Like most stuff done in such a 'bulk' manner, getting a 'classic design' is more down to pure luck than anything else. It's certainly a fact that they aren't going to come up something stunning [ievery[/i year, or even very often in truth....when you also add in that they're not going to please everyone anyway, I guess they're pretty much on a hiding to nothing.

Absolutely. The only thing that will stop me buying this shirt is if the quality is poor, I think it looks very smart. I'd like to see the embroidery back though and a weightier feel. Sadly I'm expecting to be disappointed though.

Indeed. I agree about the quality and would prefer some heavier cloth, better stitching plus embroidery - like we used to get before, in fact. That said, it used to be the 'tradition' that manufacturers would give you that higher quality for a couple of years and then, sort of, let it quietly drop off, sadly ISC didn't even start with the well made stuff, so I doubt it's going to happen this time round. Then again, I wouldn't even pretend to know if this is simply a manufacturer thing or if they just deliver the quality the clubs ask for...

In truth, I know I'll buy it anyway, I always do - at least one or the other - just because it's [imy[/i team's shirt and this year won't be any different, I guess. At the end of the day, they're largely just worn for one year anyway, so wearability [is there such a word?] isn't really a major issue for me when I think about it.

One of you chaps says they stole that image from twitter. Is that the sole evidence we have that is a picture of our new home shirt?

I thought we were now working on the picture on the Bull's website? Though there are similarities..

Hull fc. What does it say under belong? Two words I can't make out

Fairdoos, Gaskell it was, apologies for doubting!

And just for own curiosity, I waded through the dozens or so of Walkers pics on twitter to see if I did get it right. *sigh* I think that was punishment enough

I've been offline all aweekend and I've just seen the new Leeds shirt...

Hmm....

In that case why don't they make, say, 5 design templates and then encourage the fans to vote on their favourite design? Not every year I accept but at least it would give the fans a say in the shirt, given that they are are the intended consumers of the product. Surely this would be a good marketing idea?

Failing that, I reckon we should let Bullseye design it each year.

A distinct lack of sponsors on the shirt

The shirt shown in the T & A has Omar Khans logo. The one in the League Weekly shows Rajas and Sovereign Health Care. Take your pick.

It says "Founded 1863"
