I’d prefer to revert back to team numbers. You play well, you earn the number, continue and you keep it.'"
I also prefer traditional numbers, so you know who's supposed to be in each position.
I know it was sometimes messed up because some clubs had (for example) 8 as the blind-side prop and 10 as the open-side, and others had 8 as right and 10 as left, or players swapped positions mid-game, but at least you had a sense of who was supposed to be where.

I would have a primrose and blue hooped home jersey (ok on occasional years you could spice it up with vertical stripes like the Davies MoS season), and a white away jersey with a blue/primrose V. Then have a third kit, in black with luminous pink lettering that says FECK THE RFL. Then see how often we are forced to wear the third kit.

Yep, I agree and my angle has always been that we play in PnB, and if we need a colour change, it should be an alternative strip...but I also bow to the merchandising if they think that 2 kits a season will profit better than one, who am I to argue.

It's acceptable to a point, I also understand and support the need to boost revenues.
But when the boneheads dress us in red and black at Hull FC, or red and green at Saints in a year when the Saints have a lot of red on their kit, it annoys me.

I thought your pov was in favour of white kits, you used to mention that a lot

| I don't get the weird problem with playing Hull in a bright Red and Black kit if they're in a White and Black kit. Not exactly hard to tell teams apart is it? They're drastically different colours, bit of an odd one to pick out and complain about.
