Hey! I liked that shirt!




(at the time)

That was the last Leeds shirt i owned!

Anybody remember the black and red vee carling black label sponsored away shirt from the early 90's that the likes of Andy Gregory and co. pranced around in? caused uproar at the time, but considering what we have seen SL era, was pretty tame really

Well there's no hoops across the chest. Problem is, if they try something different like the 2006 V shirt then people will just moan even more.

No I mean the actual shirt is the same. Usually the collar or cut is diffrent. But this is the exact same shirt just with a different design printed on it

Yeah some will always find fault. We've not really gone for anything too daring with an "experimental kit" as some of the others have done (check out the 6 options Wigan have come up with on the VT kit thread, some shockers there). All blue in 2011 but with the big LBS logo providing a big chunk of Amber/yellow. Went a darker blue in 2012. 2014 was a throwback to an early 90's effort.

2009 was probably the last one they went a little different and they did a good job IMO (one of my personal favourites), even though it just came from their design template which they then used again for the away kits of 2010 (Amber with blue/white hoops) and this year's away kit, and also Wakey, Bradford and Hull have had their own version of that design.

Yeah don't Wigan have an 'experimental kit' every 3 years or something now? That pink kit they had in 2011 where it looked as though the colours ran in the wash was a shocker.

Our white home kit from 2007 probably stands out to me as an experimental one. I've always liked our white away kits actually, and our challenge cup final shirt last year was gorgeous.

Don't care about the design but it should be made of angry wasps.

I don't remember that shirt. But if I did I'd tell you that it was actually a 3rd shirt. It was only required once, in a game against Halifax at Thrum Hall. Only 40 replicas were made.

Some lass had one on at Wembley 2012 I think?

She had cut the arms off it.

My first trip to Wembley was for the Hull v Fev classic. I remember getting off the train somewhere near the ground and the place was swarming with Hull fans. Many of the women of Hull had cut the tops and bottoms off Hull scarves and were using them as leggings. The effect was bizarre. They looked like an army of walking humbugs.

These 'special' things are almost never new signings.

It's more likely to just be Carl Ablett handing out free bakewell tarts to fans.

Afew clubs have revealed their Magic shirts already. Are we getting one this year?
