Hi,
This shirt was used in 1993/94 when Leigh were relegated from Division One.
The same design was used the following season with Asda replacing Lifting Gear Hire as main sponsor and Stag becoming the kit manufacturer in place of Bukta.
Hope this helps,
Mark Taylor |

Disagree Mark, wasn't the 93/94 kit the Ellgren kit sponsored also by Lifting Gear Hire? |

| Top one is 93/94, we were still made by Ellgren in 92/93 
Interested in the bottom one though as I've got a framed team photo in the same kit with a "Challenge Cup Winners" caption so obviously post 71, though the photo was taken at HP so not neccesarily the change strip explanation  |

See my post above - Ellgren was 92/93; Mark's Asda sponsorship explanation makes sense to me for 94/95, with the Stag/Asda RL centenary shirt for the 95/96 season. |

| Thanks all 
I've got the same team photo Matt and I have some newspaper cuttings of the same - I'll just have to go through them all. I'm sure this strip was used in the run up to the cup - I'll have a look in my books tomorrow! |

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Hi,
Ellgren made Leigh's kit for the 1992/93 season which was sponsored by Lifting Gear Hire. This was the season Steve Simms took over as coach and John Pendlebury was captain.
Interestingly the kit had black shorts, a short-lived trend as it turned out.
The away one that year was the same design but in blue.
Best wishes,
Mark Taylor |

Hi Keith,
Just had a scan through Mike Latham's book, Leigh Rugby League Club - A comprehensive Record and there's a photo of Leigh playing Swinton in 1972-73 wearing the white shirt with a vee in a home game against Swinton.
So the feeling that it was Leigh's 'alternative' kit looks to be right.
Best wishes,
Mark |
