Oh god.


Shall we just agree that 2 white garments that despite both being white can also be styled very differently (with additional colours, collars, sponsors logos etc etc) and move on and never mention it again?

Please?

Seriously mate, just add the tool to your ignore list it really is like banging your head against a brick wall with him. We're on here to talk RL with other like minded fans, not to get into childish bickering with that weapon.

Although I am in no way trying to back up Baz/Phipps/Katie/whatever he wants to call himself now, I think comparing two plain white shirts in football (of which there are probably tons of professional clubs that have them as their home shirt in this country), there is only one that has a red V on a white shirt. It's quite distinctive, unlike a plain white shirt. You wouldn't look at an England football shirt and think it looks like a Leeds shirt because why not Tottenham? Derby? Fulham? etc. It's not distinctive enough, where as the red V is pretty much a symbol of St Helens.

There are England shirts that look very much like a tottenham shirt. Compare the Euro 96 England shirt to this tottenham shirt www.oldfootballshirts.com/img/sh ... 2226_1.jpg

they are pretty bloody similar.

Similarly there are a lot of Leeds shirts which looks like Derby shirts, fulham shirts, real madrid shirts.

In fact, lots and lots of shirts are similar, so we have away, or alternate shirts for just such an eventuality, because shirts are similar, nobody cares until it causes a problem.

If Phipps/Barry/Katie worry that if the England RL looked like the saints jersey there would be problem, then surely we can be patient enough with his idiocy to point him/her/it to the top left hand corner of the screen. If in that corner it says Eng, he can be sure that it means England are playing. If it says Sts then Saints are playing. If in the very unlikely circumstance they play each other, one will wear an alternate kit and they will likely tell us which team that is rather than playing a trick on a faux-aussie who is sat with his thumb up his ass watching gonzo porn and screaming loudly in the hope someone, anyone will call the police and then someone will be forced, by law to pay them some attention.

Quote: SmokeyTA "There are England shirts that look very much like a tottenham shirt. Compare the Euro 96 England shirt to this tottenham shirt In football that may be the case, as there are literally thousands of teams at domestic level, and hundreds at international level.

In RL however, there is only a handful of each, and RL shirts tend to be a bit more distinctive than football shirts (which are more generic). You pick a design in RL and they don't tend to look like a whole bunch of club's shirts, but tend to only look like one, and so it loses identity. How many clubs traditionally have a shirt that looks like Australia's or New Zealand's for example? Or Great Britain? I think that is what people are wanting for England.

I think it's a bit unfair to compare what tend to be in the main rather generic football shirts with what have always tended to be rather distinctive and iconic RL shirts.

That said, would a white shirt with two red chevrons look too similar to a Saints shirt? Would that be distinctive enough? Or, like I said, one red chevron and one grey/charcoal chevron (the whole "St George Knight) thing?

Probably the funniest thing you've ever said on this forum icon_lol.gif
