| Like the Wakey one, looks very smart. What's the connection with the predominantly red kit though ? has red been a main colour in the past ?

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"Just awful isn't it. There is a theory amongst our fans that RL clubs do it deliberately. Every club has an iconic shirt design that the fans cry out for, Saints have one, Wigan have one, Warrington as well. With Saints fans it's the St George look with the vee or the Meninga two-toned blue away kit for example. But the theory goes that the club won't let the manufacturers design those kits because they'd be too popular. Fans would buy that kit and wear that and not buy anything the club sold for the next ten years. But with semi-awful kits every year, people are more likely to buy.'"
I agree that that is part of the 'plan' Hull have resisted doing a cotton retro shirt for years, they've finally done one this year (alongside an experimental Home shirt design) and its a beauty and has sold loads already, but of course this may hit future replica shirt sales as it should last years.

Red has rarely been the main colour but is in fact a crucial part of the club's story.
The club was formed by the Trinity church in Wakefield in 1873, hence the name. The colours red and blue have always been used as the stained glass windows in the church were red and blue, and the kits reflected this. The white has become more dominant through the years, but in the early half of the 20th century the kits were red and blue in the main.

that new badge alone makes the shirt much smarter, they already had a strong 'brand' in Trinity and didn't need that pussycat nonsense!

From an odd shirt with an oversized whale on it last season to probably the best kit this season... Well happy

No it hasn't as far as I'm aware - either blu or white but red has always been there. Wasn't what I expected but frankly I'm delighted, it's still the right colours and the V is traditional and has real visual impact.
Prett uniquie as I cant think of another major R,W & B tri-colour club that uses red as the primary colour.

2002/03 change kit was almost the same (blue and white were opposite way around in the V)

| Wakefield with the best kit of 2017 so far. Very nice. The cotton jersey from Hull FC is also really nice. I wish Bradford would release something similar.

Yes, but now I look at it, there's some noticeable differences such as the blue/white on the sleeves. It's an amazing kit, I'm well happy with it
