Sure it won’t be an issue from the front, but Hull’s solid black back clashed horrendously with ours in week 1.

Didn't Hull have to change kit at half time? Not good for replica shirt sales I know but it would be better if both teams played in their 'home' kit unless there was a clash, in which case the away team wears their alternative colours.

Anyway. I think that neither team are confident about this week so, whoever loses, maybe clash of kit can be an extra excuse for the losing coach.

Think their kit is heavier than ours so hopefully their legs will be weaker after 20 minutes.

As I say, from the front it probably won’t be an issue, but against Hull when you could see the back of both teams shirts (which happened a lot in the first half due to the number of breaks Hull made), they were difficult to distinguish. With both teams having solid black/navy backs it could get tricky.

It’s like 2010 all over again!

Wembley 2010 was the most ridiculous kit clash I've ever seen! It still baffles me Now when I watch it back(which I do,......often!). Was that Leeds away strip that year?

Yup, they had a yellow and blue home shirt and a yellow and blue away shirt, smart thinking that.

Yeah, poor thinking from Leeds that year.

What made Wembley even worse was that rather than wearing their full away kit like they did at the Halliwell Jones earlier in the year (yellow, white, yellow), which clashed but was just about different enough, the RFL told them to wear different shorts and socks, leading to Warrington (blue, yellow, yellow) versus Leeds (yellow, blue, blue), which was disastrous (but not as disastrous as the result...) Why the RFL didn’t make Warrington wear their away kit, or why Leeds didn’t release a one off white shirt like they did in 2015 (which would have sold like hot cakes) still baffles me.

Probably also explains why Leeds wore their hideous grey and pink number two years later even though their home didn’t really clash.

Anyway, I’m aware of how obsessive I’m sounding now so all I’ll say is hopefully there will be no kit issues!

Vertical stripes are sooo last year. I took one look at them and said "you gotta go girl". Pastel shades are in just now, definitely the way to go. A peach coloured Wire away shirt would be "to die for".

I belive that Warrington came forward and offered to play in the red/green ( I think it was) Away strip but the RFL refused them permission.
