| Quote: Roofs "As a fan of RL, RU and football shirts in general I don't really think much to it, but it's a nice concept, and something different. Agree though three or four shirts a season is surely getting a bit excessive, especially for parents on tight budgets but with kids wanting them all.
Whatever happened to the Heritage idea for all the clubs? Disagree with Magic personally, but that sounded an excellent idea. If I was the Hull retail manager I'd certainly get a cotton retro shirt out next year for the anniversary, every time you guys bring one out supplies seem to sell out, and as an objective fan that 82 v-neck shirt is still one of the best shirts either club has ever had.
Re the sharks comment, have to say when you look back now those two first Sharks shirts from Hull's promotion season were brilliant for their time IMO, and I'd certainly be hunting eBay for one if I was a Hull fan.
Speaking of eBay, picked up a 2001 Rovers shirt for £4 lately, can't be bothered keeping up with the current shirts these days and prefer some of the older ones anyway.
FTR I think a kit change every season takes the p**s too, but money talks I guess.'"
Go careful mate.. sensible Rovers fan on this board is unheard of. Good post and totally agree with the 82 shirt comments

I've got an idea for next year's shirt though - how about one with a ruddy great shark on it.'"
If you consider any replica shirt 'stylish' then you need help!

| Quote: Billy Batten "I used to have a good collection of old Hull shirts but sadly lost them in a move around 10 yrs ago (would love to know where they are). Did however manage to not lose all my old Liverpool shirts (thankfully), (yes I am one of those strange people who love rugby and football equally).
Worth a good bit of money now, especially some of the shirts from the 70's.
Think I have voiced on here before my belief that only youths and shapely women should wear team shirts now. Hate to see the overweight gent who believes that Radders maybe short of a prop or 2 and pick them...
Before people shoot me down, I know Pearson etc don't think the same and 7,500 sales increases profit etc etc yada yada yada...'"
If your from Hull why support the scousers? Might as well go all out and support Saints too, their more successful that their Hull counterpart as well.

May be my youthful mind playing tricks on me (I was 13 at the time) but I seem to remember he was great for us.

| Quote: the artist "the more i think about it the more i like hutchies idea of using the 'rub of the green' shirts against rovers
Nail on head. (Are you really an artist, btw?) Aboriginal culture is beautiful and mysterious, the known on earth represented in art as well the less tangible representations of the afterlife and spiritual world (Dreamtime) that exists in parallel with our physical and emotional selves.
Each 'symbol' used in Aboriginal painting means something and can really only be reproduced accurately by someone - like Sid - of that culture to produce a whole that actually means something, actually conveys a message. (Mr Worm has studied it extensively, makes and plays didgeridoos and has even sold a couple of canvasses, but his English dabbling would he regarded at best as meaningless but pretty patterns and drones, and at worst as blasphemy by true Aboriginals. He even approached Lee Jenkinson with a view to doing something like this some years ago, after Sid had just left. I am relieved to see that Lee saw the potential in this but chose to bypass the English pretender (could've been well dodgy with regards to the club's karma) and went straight to the true artist and interpreter.)
So although the artwork has to be produced by someone with true understanding of that culture and how to represent it in art, the principles can be applied to any concept or location, not just Dreamtime and the Outback. It is a great honour for Hull FC that Sid has agreed to describe our little world using the richness of his culture manifested in pictures.The fact that no Aboriginals currently play for us is irrelevant, it is our passion, geography, history and way of life he is describing, not his.
Will definitely be buying this shirt, it's an honour and a unique opportunity.
