Is it just nostalgia or do we all seem to prefer the 'simpler' designs back in the day?

Simpler shirts for simpler times.
Today's shirts represent the busier, more diverse nature of modern life.

I assume Widnes bought a job lot off the German football team and sewed their own badge and sponsor on?

This one is without doubt the classic and most iconic widnes kit. A minority of Widnes fans seem to think hoops is the kit for us for some godforsaken reason, but this is timeless. An absolute beauty from the year of our finest hour.

I think that's pretty much it.......or I think it looks better in red&white than it would in black&white.

Quote: Roofaldo "Well actually, they provide the designs and the club picks one.'"

Not strictly the case, I know the designer for O'Neills and he says they are given a basic idea of what the club want and go off, design a few, then the club picks one. If they don't like the designs, they reject them all and the designer goes off and does some more.

Thought it would be good to compare the "classic" shirts with the most recent attempt at its design for a comparison. So, the Hull one for examplehttps://www.hullfc.com/hullfcshop/images/products/fullimages/aIMG_7851_810.jpg" >'"

Hull FC 2008 (Challenge Cup Final)

One of my favourite ever Hull shirt is that. It's just what a Hull FC shirt should look like. However, we had a lot of problems with kit clashes that year. You get the odd "know it all" who thinks that just because one shirt has a bit of red on it and another shirt has a bit of black on it that they won't clash if the rest of the kit is blooming white!!!

The back of that Hull shirt is mainly white (so you can see the black number), with white shorts and mainly white socks. So the kit is about 75% white 25% black. But apparently the idiots at the RFL who picked what kits the teams should be wearing in 2008 didn't see the following as a clash:
a 80% white 20% cherry home kit of Wigan (rather than a 99% black 1% white away kit),
or a 90% white 10% black home kit of Bradford (rather than a 90% black, 10% white away kit),
or (the one that REALLY annoys me the most) a 90% white 5% claret 5% gold AWAY kit of Huddersfield (over a 80% claret 10% gold HOME kit that has NO colours that clash with the home kit of Hull at all!).

And people complained that Saints had to wear their away kit in the Challenge Cup Final that year! Idiots!

Since then, Hull have adopted a more black kit to avoid this (as a lot of teams have majority white home kits). We've had black shorts and socks every year since then.

2006 Hull KR home shirt in National League One.

2008 Hull KR home shirt in Super League.

Apparently (so I've been told by Rovers fans) they aren't good enough because they don't have the red sleeves! Picky gits!

And can someone tell me which kit design is the traditional Warrington one? Because they've had millions of different combos of primrose, blue and white (with even the main colour changing often from blue to white!)
