We did that two years ago, 2018 was almost identical to a sixties kit. We seem to revisit that classic every 4 years or so which is about right imo.

Quite right vasty, but they never quite get the width of the red and blue horizontal bands to quite match the proportions of the original. I think that's why they can keep resurrecting it regularly. I was watching Trin at the time they introduced the classic shirt, around 1961, and if I'm not mistaken it was the first, or one of the first. to be reproduced as a "replica" for open sale. I was 13 at the time and wore mine proudly for school. I don't remember any other club producing replica jerseys at that time. Truly iconic.

I don't know if it was intended as a wear anytime replica in those days but we all had to buy a Rugby Shirt for P.E. at school. Virtually every lad at Snapethorpe would turn up with that classic predominantly white Trin shirt apart from a lad called Stephen Booth who had the predominantly blue shirt. I believe he was related to Legendary Prop Jack Booth who provided him with the unique item.
During the 60s I never thought of going to the game in the shirt though. Scarf and hat were more popular. Reckon the Wembley trip in 70s was the 1st time I bought a shirt as leisurewear

Its alright. But i’m going to put it out there, it’s a bit ‘average’. Nothing up with it at all by any means, but not got the ‘wow’ factor that some recent ones have had.

All a matter of personal taste. Personally, I love it. Really liked the white and blue Adidas versions of the 80s and this is similar. Like the navy blue too, which is a bit of a departure from recent seasons

Just had a quick look at the Wakefield v St Helens semi final from 1979 and couldn't see any replica shirts in the crowd. Suppose winter rugby had us all well wrapped up.
