....or for the benefit of Blue Monkey "Jerseys on Friday".
Can anybody clarify whether our "away" shirts actually away shirts or are they second strip for wearing when there's a colour clash?
As a result will we be in blue or white against Leigh on Friday???

Our kit is mainly white so I'd have thought you'd be in the blue one.

Yes, well, YOU said it Paul, "jersey" is, historically speaking, the name for what so many refer to as a "shirt" nowadays. The trend, or fashion, for using the term "shirt" rather than jersey has no doubt come about via the far more prominent and publicised game of football which has always tended to say shirt rather than another word.

Whatever you prefer to call it, the 21st century garments are usually awful to look at when compared with how the same item from bygone decades looked, mostly because of some designers' freedom to ignore/abuse that unfashionable word "tradition" or "retro" plus, of course, the "pollution" caused by sponsors' adverts even though they are supposed to bring in a certain monetary reward etc.

I still call it a jersey, so Blue Monkey isn't alone
