Hull FC's first colours were scarlet and white hoops. Hull White Star was a junior club who originally played in blue and white before switiching to the more obvious kit of a black shirt with a white star.

When the two clubs amalgamated the team first played in a black shirt (with the three crowns in a blue and gold badge). For a brief period this was changed to cherry and white stripes but the club had problems with the colours running when the kits were washed so there was a return to the black shirt. We were known as the "All Blacks" as early as the 1880s, a good twenty years before the New Zealand RU side.

As Jake says, we switched to black and white irregular hoops around 1908, probably influenced by the first Australian tourists who played in blue and maroon irregular hoops.

i would be happy with a design around the kit worn for the 1991 season (the premiership winning kit). the first (star) kit could then be adapted for the away kit black shirt with white star could look good

The season ticket brochure says we will have a return to the irregular hoops in 2015 and that the kit will be unveiled in September (so not long to wait!)

I would like something akin to the farewell to the Boulevard shirt. A proper cotton rugby shirt with full black and white irregular hoops.

I'm going on record now to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the 2015 shirt and will definitely be buying and wearing it despite, as usual, looking like portly mutton dressed as mid-20s man in ISC nylon.

Really interesting stuff - thanks.

Can't see us having a red and white kit at any point, so an all black kit would seem like the nearest thing to an 'original FC' kit.

I'm wondering if we will have that 150 year badge that is plastered on the season pass literature? I quite like it.

A red and white away kit would be awesome

irregular hoops for me.

My lad saw the kit at Headingley a couple of weeks back. The photographer from a photo shoot had the home and away shirts in his car. Home shirt traditional black and white hoops with similar collar to this years. Away shirt is purple.

it'll have to be something outstanding to sell!

James are a very very good live band.

We've been there. Let's not again eh?

It will no doubt be Black & White irregular hoops, but personally hope there are no transfers and the material is not that horrible synthetic nylon stuff in order for me to purchase one.

The RFL's Operational Rules state
PLAYING STRIP
B1

If we have a black and white irregular hooped shirt, there's not really a single base colour so the alternative strip has to be something other than black or white. Blue would be my choice but purple could be OK. I quite liked Wigan's purple alternative kit.
