You can still have an alternative shirt (why are they not called away shirts anymore?) that keeps traditions with your club. Just look at the Saints and Wire kits.

called alternative because you dont always play in an away shirt when your playing away, its only when the kits clash.. thr rfl state before the season starts which kit you will wear.

id prefer it to be home and away though and like you say keep a tradition.

look at salfords green one last season...nothing to do with tradition there! infact it was a toss up who got it them or us.

You only wear said alternative shirt away though (unless the away team bring the wrong kit)

Not strictly true - we have wore our away/alternative kits at home on numerous occasions due to sponsorship issues.

Did something change in 2012? There seemed to be a lot of alternate kits worn even when there wasn't a clash.

Some even created a clash. Wigan wearing black and white away at Hull and Widnes for example.

Bulls away is dark purple and white hoops with green trim on the hoops, really good looking shirt.

the use of Charity shirts has increased, Hull wore their 'camouflage' shirt 2 games last year.

some clubs also may have to wear their 'alternative' kit a certain amount of times due to sponsorship deals. Hull are back having different home and away sponsors for the first time in years for example.

The mainly black away kit of Wigan clashed less with Hull's mainly white home kit than Wigan's mainly white home kit would have. Having seen both of them playing in very similar kits at the KC in 2008, it was a much better alternative!

You can barely see hoops from the back, so it just looks like white kit vs white kit!
