I think those like myself who are comparing it with Leeds rhinos on both threads mean……it looks like “A” Leeds shirt, not “the” Leeds shirt.
Imagine looking at the shirt before any of the teams shirts were released. Who’s “home” shirt might the average RL fan have thought it was.

I don't get the reference to "in modern times" regarding the sales volume.
I don't know when replica shirts became popular, but I don't recall many being worn at Wembley in 79. It was mainly a scarf and a bobble hat. I regard that as pretty modern times. The only large purchases prior to then were maybe school kids buying them for P.E./Rugby Lessons.

What sales are required for the word "ever" to be used?

This.
Cheers.

Personally I think it is a good design however for me I associate the colours with Leeds and the first thing I thought when I saw it was that it was a Leeds Kit. I get that they are trying to go back to our first ever colours but I don't see any black on the shirt which I believe was on the original shirt 150 years ago.

I would like to know if at any point in the desgin process whether anybody from the club brought up the fact that it does look like a Leeds shirt.
