looks like we've gone down the route Town have with their kit with the fading colours, we've had worse, will wait to see it in real before i decided whether i like it or not.
They both look cheap and tacky on initial viewing though.

After last years home shirt which must have been the most popular in a decade, that is a monstrosity!!
Away one maybe not so bad in the flesh?

I like them both, think I'll be getting the home shirt though to wear loud and proud up here in Dunblane.

the future's bright the future's [color=#800000:1p3f9jf7]claret [/color:1p3f9jf7] and [color=#FFFF40:1p3f9jf7]gold [/color:1p3f9jf7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_60098.jpg |

I'm hoping that the colours are just a result of bad light/computer graphics.
The home one looks red not claret-
There is nothing controversial- no real "design" gone on by kooga- pretty uninspiring in that respect- but I'll wait till I've seen them for real to decide whether I like it- I'll probably be getting five-Santa usually leaves three under the tree!

Pretty uninspiring along with the signings Huby excepted a long season beckons I'm afraid three top players gone four if you include Kafusi no marque signing and Andersons talking top four having just strengthened Wigan with Patrick.
Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Wire top four followed by Catalans we will be scrapping with Salford, Castleford and the two hull clubs for 6th to 10th and it will be tight realistically without any further signings 7th would be my prediction if we have a half decent season good enough to have no problems if we finish 9th or 10th but not good enough to have an impact on the silver unless we get a very kind run of cup draws !!

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war": |
|
|
What in the name of Odin has our kit got to do with the way we'll play?
Admittedly both are an abomination on the eye, the away one looks like Leroy's off to work at a DIY store, but they've worn worse.
Actually scratch that, even the "paintball" kit was better than either of these two. At least that was trying to achieve something. If we signed a new deal knowing that these were the designs for the new shirts whoever greenlighted it wants their eyes testing.

Hold on. 4 top players? Chan missed the end of the season. Faiumu played 17 games, Patrick 19 and Kaufusi 19. None of them were regulars week in week out. Only Faiumu could be called a top player and he played the fewest.
We've lost 4 squad players and replaced them with a top prop and 3 young prospects. Plus the development of our own young players, the squad looks slightly stronger.

It's a thread about the kit! There's more than enough threads to have a whinge about everything else!
How difficult is it to keep on subject?!

Huddersfield Giants - "We know our place": |
|
|
I say this nearly every year. The club has, as a result of decisions taken a century or more ago, a genuine design classic in it's possession. Claret and gold hoops. It's a superb shirt, completely unlike every other shirt, not just in the game but in pretty much all sport.
There's no reason whatsoever to significantly change the home shirt. Play around with the away strip as much as you want, but the home shirt should be sacrosanct.
Worth looking at this link
www.historicalkits.co.uk/Hudders ... d_Town.htm
You'll see that, since the First World War Town have varied from blue and white vertical stripes in only four seasons. They've still varied the design - sometimes it's awful (1987 Greenalls) and sometimes it's been so good I've been tempted to buy one myself (1995 Panasonic) but it's always blue and white vertical stripes.
Football gets this right. Every single Liverpool strip since the mid-60s has been red shirts, red shorts, red socks. Every single Arsenal shirt in 80 years, bar the last season at Highbury, has been a variant of red with white sleeves. Newcastle Utd have played in black and white vertical stripes every season since 1894.
The shirt is the single most important visual signature that the club has, the thing that gets shown on live TV for hours every year, the thing that gets on clips on the news. It ought to be the case that everyone interested in sport in this country sees a claret and gold hooped shirt and instantly thinks "aha - Huddersfield Giants rugby league". But every year we get this mess and people who see the shirt will probably think "non-league football club, like Bicester Town or something"
It's a design classic. For God's sake treat it with the respect it deserves.
If it was up to me I'd tell the RFL that we wear claret and gold hoops home and away and they can like it or lump it. The only exception would be the day that Brisbane come to town, when as a courtesy to our visitors we'd wear white.
And just for fun, the only really comparable shirts I'm aware of in the UK are Underbank and, a bit obscurely, St Edmund's Hall RUFC in Oxford. |

I like the paintball kit. Showing off a bit, but I wore it a few years back to the NRL Grand Final. Loads of people asked me about it. |

Having now seen the full gallery, it doesn't look as bad as I first thought but I 100% agree with all the above

Agree with Steve.....there is not a more beautiful sight in British Rugby League than a traditional Huddersfield Rugby League shirt, Claret with thin gold hoops and a white collar is simple traditional and looks bloody superb....why mess with it ? like you say if you want to appeal to the younger end or those who want something different do it to the away/alternative shirt, leave our home shirt alone, the basis EVERY YEAR should be claret and gold hoops, yes tweak it here and there but the club should never allow it to be massacred like we seem to be doing these days.
