In fairness most designers are like that (even Nike only have 4 different designs to choose from for football kits), I think it's just quite rare by our standards to have the same manufacturer for three consecutive seasons.

Are you getting one of the shirts Matt, home or away.

We played in Cherry & White through the 60's and possibly a liitle longer. The programme stated the colours of each team and we was always Cherry & White and I clearly remember the guy on the P.A. at the time announcing the teams by starting "Leigh, who will play in Cherry & White etc etc". I clearly remember the 'red' being a deeper 'red' than we have now (as the shirt from my childhood packed away in my loft).

they also said cherry and white in 71 yet look at the colour of that its red, also those 'shirts' Ivan were bought off Leigh Market or else the sports store on Bradshawgate as 'replicas' are from the late 80's up to date (I had one as well - also a blue and white hooped as well - both off Leigh Market) Google cherry and see the different colours a cherry is it ranges from light purple to red, so decide yourself as I have never seen Leigh play in a light purple shirt.







and there are a thousand other shades to match these

see what I mean now what colour is a cherry?

It's made me hungry now that has.

light purple? you've sniffed too much of that uPVC cleaner Steve speaking of which can I buy a bottle or two my conservatory (I only have one now) is looking a little worse for wear

what, you drink it and the conservatory looks better?

What a lovely pair of cherries you have Fredrick!

Leighs shirt in 71 was definately a deeper shade of red than recent shirts regardless of what any replica shirts maybe. I have the Journal & Reporter from that great era and even though they are in black & white you can see the deeper shade of red. I am looking at my new 2011 shirt right now and it is definately a different shade than '71 and i will not be convinced otherwise until someone can prove me wrong. My old shirt from that era is definatley a darker red than the current shirts.
I also remember that the only difference between Leigh & Wi@'Xn shirts was the cuffs - ours where red & the pies where white. (or maybe the other way round?)

Priceless.

Well the easy way to settle this is to watch a re-run of the Challenge Cup Final in 1971.
