| Either some people are blind or cannot distinguish colour and/or shapes.
Saints for instance may well have a predominantly white shirt but there's a great feck off big RED V on it so their kit does not drastically clash at all.
Same with the KR & Wigan kit, again bright red which contrasts quite a lot to our black, the photo of the warry leeds one I'll give you however as a fan & as a some time player I've never had to worry about whom is on my team and certainly I don't ever remember passing to an oppo because I had issues with shirt colours (Ok, maybe back in the dim/distant past of watching all mud coloured teams)
I'd suggest people get off to specsavers early doors as this season is going to test your eyesight a lot it seems from the supposed kit clashes

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God: |

| It's easy to distinguish who is who when Hull play Rovers. The Hull players are the ones under the sticks waiting for the goal kick to be taken

So when both sets of players have their backs to you, how do you see the black hoops or the red chevron? You only see a white panel at the back, black number, white shorts and white socks.
Similarly when they're in the ruck. Or when you see them on a side. The main thing you see is white. People shouldn't have to look for something that appears on one part of the kit and can't be seen if they turn around. We might as well just look out for different sponsors.
I don't know how you can "give me" Warry/Leeds and yet say Hull/Saints isn't a clash. If anything, there's more of a clash in the latter as over 75% of the kits are identical in the same places. Why can't you look for the team with the blue shorts or the yellow shorts to distinguish them? Or the fact that the Wire shirt has a big white V on it in the same way as you say to look for the Saints big red V? It's exactly the same principle yet you've come up with two different outcomes.
Did you not think there was a clash in the friendlies?

You must have been confused after the first minute then last week.

| I can clearly see the red of the kits mentioned from behind (Saints And Wigan have red in their socks, easy to see from distance) Roversd have a red band all the way around and it isn't as if all the players of any given team will have their backs to a particular direction for long. There's also the fact that they are often standing 10+ metres apart that is a big clue, that and the team going in a particular direction/those anticipating a pass/attacking defending field positions, it aint rocket science tbh.
I don't come up for friendlies and frankly a kit issue in those games for those few people who can't distinguish between colours/shapes AND their own players is niether here nor there anyway.
Sorry but you're making a mountain out of a mole hill IMHO.

Which team is Hull?
There's about as much red in the Bradford shirt and shorts as there is in the Saints socks. Can you really "easily" see the red in that picture? From far away, and when you're not relying on natural light, it's harder to distinguish colours as they get shadowed easier and so just look "darker" than the white parts. You're basically saying that you have to rely on a tiny part of someone's sock to be able to tell the difference. do you really think that's acceptable practice?
And Rovers don't have a big red band around the shirt. Only on the front. Only the supporters' version does.
You are right in the cases that you can easily distinguish teams when they're setting up a defensive line or whatever, but in broken play when there are players all over the place, it is very difficult to see who is who when the game is going so quickly. You shouldn't have to think twice, especially as a player, and especially if it can so easily be avoided by wearing a completely different coloured kit!
This isn't a kick about on a park pitch. This is the top of the professional game in this country FFS.

| Reason why we didn't play in our BLACK AWAY kit is because we are using that kit against Catalan at home to 'unveil' it. That's why we refused to play in away kit yesterday.

So you should have worn last years then. Or some kind of training kit.
You shouldn't have worn a kit that blatantly clashes with a one-off testimonial shirt. How can you ask them to change a one-off shirt?!

I'm guessing you don't know the real reason then??
Let's just say that you would have been playin in 'skins' before you would have played in your away kit, seen as though Kooga hadnt delivered it on time!
The sooner Kooga are out of Super League the better!

(Unless it actually was your fault...)

Nope the away kit is definatly here, been here for 2 week. We are using the Catalan game to show off the away kit as we don't have any home pre-season games. Last year we unveiled the purple away kit against Halifax at home.
I agree tbf rather have ISC than Kooga.

That bloody Gledhill. Im going to start charging him for using my images
But yeah, yesterday was hard trying to tell who was who from that distance. Our commentary sounded terrible. The new numbers didn't help either, they look small and skinny. I don't see the need to change in the design they had
