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.

Like a Leeds shirt, not an exact replica. It's OK, you can like the shirt whilst also accepting it has a touch of loiner to it. I do.

You think your shirt is bad, have you seen ours.

Sales going well so no doubt the next complaint will be that we didn't order enough L size as these have apparently sold out already.
Even on the despond infested R/W/B Facebook page a poll has 67% of responders liking it.
Silent majority strikes again.

I know you're desperate to defend the shirt because you like it, but those are nitpicking details.

I'll put it another way. If Leeds released our shirt the season after the one in the picture, the Leeds fans would say, "it's just the same as last years, but with gold instead of yellow."

You say not picking details but theyre factual differences and some quite significant imo. I’d say that the ones saying it’s a Leeds shirt are the ones ‘nitpicking’.

I’ve just posted facts on two photos provided that’s all. I’m yet to see someone list the similarities.

The similarities are obvious, in that it is the same design and colour scheme.

Let's imagine Hull KR decided to play in black irregular hoops. It would be no defence to say that the thinner hoops are a bit thinner and that one has a KR badge and another an FC badge, and the sponsors are different.

Be honest with yourself: your heart sank a bit when Khav posted the two pictures alongside each other. Had they been two Leeds shirts of consecutive seasons, the Leeds fans would say it was a rip-off as the design hadn't changed.

I agree to a certain extent but this isn't a traditional Leeds shirt either. If you google their past shirts, most are not even close to this one.

On its own, I like the shirt. It does make me think of Leeds rather than us but it's up to us to own it on the field.

I'd be embarrassed to wear that Leeds shirt, it looks like some youngster has been doodling and come up with that monstrosity, the Wakey shirt looks classy and is designed for a one off anniversary as simple as that, just embrace it for what it is, I bet the Leeds fans would sooner have ours if they ever told the truth.

Frankly I’m embarrassed by the reaction of some to this shirt. Mostly because it’s coming from posters who are normally sensible. Yes it’s a free country and you can say what you like and I’d not have it any other way. However other people are entitled to respond, so I will.

I’ll say again Leeds don’t own the colour gold!!

However marketing does. Gold Is synonymous with celebrations and anniversary - what other chuffing colour would you use!

The club has done exactly what any marketing company would tell them to do - they have done nothing wrong.

Clearly if sales are as indicted they are being proved correct. It’s clear most people have the nouse to realise it’s a one off for a hugely obvious reason, 150 of them to be precise.

If people can’t see that for what it is then I’ve given them far to much credit.

If you don’t like the design don’t buy it, your choice, but why slag it off for no other reason than it’s a bit like ONE previous Leeds shirt, for crying out loud. Take a look at what Leigh have done, now there is something to get upset about - you don’t know how lucky you are.
