| Quote: Smiffy27 "Apart from making money selling shirts I don't see much point in squad numbers. As a coach I would hate to show my hand of who I think should play where so early in the season. Must be de-motivating for those on the edge of the team. I used like training at the start of the season before the first selection.
When watching teams I don't follow, like the Aussie games, I seem to be able to work out what's going on a bit quicker with the traditional numbering.'"
I take your point on all matters, here.
Judging by what the club do, 48 hours before kick off (where our squad is released alphabetically), why not have squad numbers that way. It might give Fitzpatrick a wacky idea.

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.
