As an avid reader of this site, thought it was about time to make another contribution particularly as things are now looking a lot brighter for next season! my wish is that the club would revert back to the famous white strip with red and blue band-obviously modernised to make way for todays various badges etc.
I am tired of seeing the succession of poorly designed shirts (there have been a couple of exceptions) some of which are not even the right colours. This seasons home strip is a classic example-it should have been the away strip.(I appreciate why it is the colour/design that it is but it makes the team look yards slower than the opposition-er that might not be the shirt come to think of it!)
I know these shirts generate revenue but this could be raised by changing the away strip every season. I bet not many people buy both home and away shirts.
Just a thought but 60's strip was instantly recognisable as Wakefield Trinity some of the strips of recent years look like Wakefield Girls High School. just a thought......

i am a big fan of this years home shirt! however i get the the general feeling on here that we need/want the wally lewis era adidas shirt for next year - you listening mr glover???

This seasons home, would make a great away shirt to go along side "that" White adidas number.
Then stick with it and never ever change.

Are you connected to me today, it's almost like we are friends or something... weird

I'd like to see a kit that's red, white, blue.

Still not sure why we dont produce 3 home and 3 away designs and let the fans choose, surely from a marketing side this would be the best thing to do? This years kits are nice fititng but very bland designs. Ive always liked our black away kits especially the atlantic soloutions www.oldrugbyshirts.com/en/teams/ ... s-t20.html

This year's shirts were for a specific reason, the last season at Belle Vue, and so I can see why it is as it is.

I agree that the shirts should be an instantly recognisable brand, and the 60's shirt would be the brand for me, with this years shirt as the template for the away shirt. All the other clubs manage minor variations but have new designs, but are always distinctly recognisable. Saints is the best example. We, however, go from garish mess to garish mess.

79 wembley shirt for me if not similar but must be red white and blue white home blue away simple

Home shirt : 60's / Wally Lewis design
Away shirt : 79 cup final design
Classic, recognisable and look great.
Ideally with subtle sponsors adverts on them but subtle and sponsorship don't go well together so I won't expect that.

Yes it would be nice to go back to the old Trinity shirt that we had for years, the white with red and blue hoop around the middle and keep the home shirt from this year as the away shirt.

It's alright suggesting to keep the same shirts but as was said on Tuesday night, the club has to generate more retail revenue. Now I know it's tough, on a pension I'm feeling the pinch like everyone else, but the club has to keep the money coming in. For many clubs, not just rugby league, the income from replica kit sales EACH YEAR is vital. Some sort of compromise is needed. If you keep the same shirt year in year out (just like in 50's & 60's when I first started supporting) where is the club going to get the money from? I hate being thought of as just simply someone to extract money from but we have to be realistic - and I much prefer to be exploited by Trin than all the other retail sharks out there, the power companies, the railways ....etc. etc.
