Difficult to be sure from that picture but I think that's a really good shout. It's the right time, I can't think of any other player in the squad who looked anything like that and he always played with his socks down around his ankles. What I am certain about was trying to stop him when he was playing amateur rugby and weighed about 20 stone. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.

The black and white hoops in this are the same size but with white shorts and collar the white seems to dominate the eye.. put black shorts with it and black would dominate... looking at the new shirt black does have a bigger main hoop than the white...prefer the above to be honest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Halloween coming up I decided to go to my local fancy dress shop to see if I could get a Dracula costume. After a few minutes the assistant handed me a Hull KR shirt asking "Is this suitable?", I replied "I think you may have misheard me, I said I wanted to look like a count."

MZH Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Really pleased with the Hull shirt. Simple traditional design with a modern feel. Its nice. I dont tend to buy shirts any more but depending on how it looks in the flesh I might get one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto are doing one more year but only because ISC, X-Blades and errea have no interest. The stuff is badly made, doesn't be it anything like normal sizing and unless you are prepared to order 500+ of a garment they won't do bespoke which is why only Leeds Utd have anything other than catalogue product. I think Keighley and oldham have stayed with them purely because they owe them money and have no choice. Pop on the oldham forum and ask their fans what they think of the kappa gear they've had!!! Didn't the Toronto players and staff pretty much refuse to wear the majority of the Kappa off-field gear due to its poor quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or TWP are tied into a contract with Kappa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuutaisrambo Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 As i leeds utd fan i can confirm even the bespoke fancy Kappa clothing is rubbish. Fev have agreed a new 3 year kit deal with STEEDEN (Advantage Sports). The press release also says STEEDEN are doing a super league kit this year (doesn't mention who?) I don't know if this will be an improvement on ISC but i assume it will make the club a bit more cash. We had a pretty rubbish first year with ISC with late deliveries and pretty poor designs/quality but the kits and leisure wear we had in the second year was really good IMO. I have no clue if the quality of the STEEDEN kits will be any good as i only thought they did balls. Home kit is launched a Friday 10th Nov.

Like everything else they are just a brand. They will supply the spec and the stuff, like everything else will be made in an Asian sweatshop.

Aussie and Warriors shirts have always been expensive when compared to the prices we pay in the UK for the same item. I'm currently in NZ, you don't need to tell me about the ££. It's expensive for UK visitors. No matter where you drink all beers seem to be $8/9 or £4+ and that's not a pint either more like 330ml. Food is similarly priced.
