Tricky in this one as it's Wigan in hooped socks and Leigh in white - the exact opposite. Then of course we have Halifax.

Leigh unless Drummond played for Wigan


Goons


Halifax

Well played Wires71, it's a fair cop - but I did say "virtually" so I will from now on never mention this to my lads again - still reckon they were still better shirts than today's, especially the new Wire effort

I'm with you. I'm all for a shirt that remains instantly recognisable across the ages.

So far in my lifetime we have had

chevrons - Vladivar and current
horizonal stripes - many
vertical stripes - Greenhalls
horizonal band (Sparkomatic)
all plain - Bukta
Curvy chevron - dark days 2006?

Very few teams played with a V.
Saints adopted it only in the 60s I think until then it was just a red band like KR.
I think the Cumbrian teams like Barrow and/or Workington had it first and eventually others followed.
Wasn't our first V shirt for the 1974 CC final?

I like how we have an ever changing style to our kits. We've had famous hooped kitshttps://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/resources/images/3551652/" >



I've just bought the Boca Juniors away kit because it looked like a Brian Bevan shirthttps://cdn.soccerbible.com/media/5908/nike_boca_juniors_home_away_14_15_004.jpg" >
we've not had one of these since 2006.

Although there's a good photo of Bevan in a hooped kit scoring against Windes at Wembleyhttps://www.wire2wolves.com/images/1950s/1950%20-%20BevanatWembley-.jpg" >

Nice pics BSW. Are they your own?

Think I've decided to branch out into collecting photos now, as I'm running out of programmes to collect! It's a shame there's less press pics of players than in football.

Just Google images that I've saved from browsing

Programmes were mentioned last night - Roger Draper said that they were losing money on them, as they are producing 1000 per home game and averaging 400 sales. He said they may follow some football club's lead and go digital ie email subscription with video content as well as articles.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I could go on.

Print less, find a printer that will be less, drop the price and sell more, do your online piece of you must, just run a 4 pager off Word, but PLEASE keep a programme going.

Programmes were great in the past when a lot of people didn't have internet, but now online can offer so much more, and the information is going to be up to date rather than a programme printed in advance.

Just looking through some old programmes (1995 - Cost £1.20) to review what the content was, I imagine today's programmes at £3 are very much the same.

Coaches & CEO comments
Club Staff and honours
League Tables
Match photos
Focus on opposition players
Match reports
Supporters club page
Alliance & Academy updates
Fixtures and Stats
Team sheet

And lots of adverts.

We see much more on the club website (especially the up coming new website), Warrington Worldwide, Warrington Guardian, Sky Sports, SL website, Facebook, twitter etc. There's even video and audio interviews.

Arf. Imagine buying a programme in 2015. They were rubbish (not just Wires ones - football ones too) 25 years ago, never mind now.

I don't buy anything in the ground other than my admission money though. Bottle of water from the Tesco petrol station before going in and that's my lot.

Think theyre quality

Exactly. They look the business. In the past you could put a football kit and RL kit next to each other and easily spot the difference. These ones look pretty slick I think. Have you seen Saints kits for next year? Could've been a lot worse
