As it stands at the minute I'd say we've got one of the worst shirts at the minute. But Rovers haven't revealed theirs yet so no need to worry just yet

Would agree with that. Strange how all the other V designs have managed to get club badge and sponsor inside the V, yet ours looks like they were an afterthought and they got a kid to plonk them on where they thought they should go.

Most of you probably know this but if your hoping for a totally new away kit you will be dissapointed. Exactly the same but white!

If this is correct would there not be some problem when Hull play Widnes, as both clubs seem to have similar styled shirts? It would be similar to the problem that Hull had when they played Bradford a few seasons ago when it was hard to tell both sets of shirts apart. If so, what will the answer be?

Why would there be a problem? You just wear the opposite coloured kit!
If anything it would be easier.

That would involve the RFL thinking ahead. (in much the same way as the Hull/Bradford kit clash could have been solved by either team wearing the alternate strip).

Suppose we shoud follow Cas' examplt and buy a stock of Halifax shirts just to be on the safe side.

They would have to wear all white and we would have to wear all black or vice versa. IIRC a few seasons ago a similar thing happened. We ended up having a combination of an away shirt with home shorts and socks.

Seems like poor planning if true (and i expect it is). Not all shirts appeal to all supporters and the beauty of having a home and away shirt means you can appeal to a much wider pool of buyers. Just reversing colours etc means if someone does not like one shirt they are hardly likely to like the other.

I'd be happy if it was a reverse. Only reason I don't want the home shirt is because it's similar to a recent shirt.
