Simple choice for me home shirt, black & white irregular hoops every-time, it is who we are.

Oh, all right. I'm grumpy because we haven't got trad BandW hoops and in my book that is the only "proper" Hull shirt. I'm at the very beginning of the "they're growing on me" process and am sure that by February I will be wearing both.

If next summer is anything like the one we've just meant to have had you'll be needing to wear both in July.

Black and White hooped parkas would be a good summer seller

Think both shirts are really nice this year, I really like them. Not surprised to see lot's of negative comments on here, no matter what the club produce people seem to want to have a go. Away one looks really nice, something different.

I'm sure you're onto a winner.

Re: New Shirt : Sun Oct 03, 2010 4:26 pm  

Got to have a good look at both shirts.

Both had stitched on SL badges as per the 2010 home shirt.

Home is lighter cotton than the 2010 shirt. Sponsor badges are mostly embroided with 2 stitched on patches, the one on the front of course and one at the top of the back (SEAT Automotive). It looks a lot better in proper light rather than the theatre lighting at the launch.

Away Shirt has "iron on" sponsor badges all over (front back and sleeves). Standard shirt material. Does have a slight look of the Yorkshire shirt but with gold trim. Actually not bad at all. I forgot to ask if we'd get printed logos like the 2010 away shirt, I think what we saw was the finished article though.

There's going to be gold running through most/all of the merchandise this year apparently.

Well I've had as close a look as you can get and I love both designs!!

Just don't like the cotton shirts cos they look cheap!!

I disagree with the cheap comment. I loved the home shirt and like the idea of a thinner cotton which will be quite cool in the summer and thought it was very well made.

People moan about it not being full irregular hoops but let's face it, we have to have variants on it or people just wouldn't buy it. This was proved in 2001/2002 when the only difference in the shirt was the collar. People simply didn't buy one in the 2nd year because it was the same as the year before.

Can people honestly say that by looking at the home shirt they can't instantly tell it's an FC shirt??

Very like the Horne testimonial shirt. There, you see - growing on me already!

It's not proper hoops!

One little thing, the "hoop" on the arm should line up with the hoop on the upper boby, it looks poorly put together
