Old Frightful Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Regarding the Hull shirt, after reading comments elsewhere, I've only just realised that the hoops aren't complete, there's a black section down each side under the arms. That's a big downer on it from me, I'm afraid. Hull FC....The Sons of God... (Well, we are about to be crucified on Good Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall them going to Odsal to televise a Bradford game and they wouldn't show the game because the sponsor's name was just a little bit too big. Am I right or is that a false memory? Yes you couldn't have a sponsors name on your shirt when on TV. I remember Coventry City being sponsored by Talbot so they had a shirt designed with a "T" on it which being the sponsors logo caused an uproar at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at the official promo photographs, I can't help but wonder if they've been taken with a dark background so people don't notice.

tonyXIII Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 With regards to the Hull FC shirt, I think it is too heavy on the black. Unless it is an optical illusion, the black hoops are broader than the white ones, giving the shirt a darker feel. My favourite HFC shirt is from the Peter Sterling era, when white seemed to predominate (broader white hoops?). This was teamed with white shorts and, I think, white socks. It looked brilliant.

tonyXIII Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks for that, OF. A truly great kit and a fantastic player! I even like the gaffer tape on the boots.

And if you think errea training kit is sub standard then ask yourself why so many Rugby and Football clubs are with errea when it is well known they pay far less in terms of sponsorship than other more desperate brands and price wise is not as cheap as other brands in the market? There are 4 very good brands in Rugby League currently, ISC, Oneills, errea and XBlades. To blame any of them for the stuff they deliver is harsh as the clubs sign these things off. Yeah I have to agree wigans 2015 and 2016 home shirts were very nice and made by errea. Although having said that aesthetically I would rather have ISC (cotton shirts, training/leisure wear a bit nicer imo). I would also throw Kappa into the mix for decent manufacturers. I think the importance of having decent kit, both on and off field can be most obviously demonstrated by Wakey. They just need to get the order numbers sorted now so that they have stuff in stock!

ojx Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 4 hours ago, Monkey Lover said: Wigan, like other clubs with decent retail depts, work to a 3 year cycle very much like soccer clubs. It goes something like - traditional traditional with a twist totally different It is all to do with sales and how fans tend to skip buying shirts year on year. You have fans who will buy every year without fail so they kind of don't come into the thought process. You have fans who buy only when the shirt appeals to them and they are the target market with the 'twist' and traditional shirts. You also now have a lot of young fans who love shirts to be different and those guys buy in large numbers too so that is a very simplistic explaination of a few reasons why clubs cycle in this way. Thanks for that explanation. I don't think top soccer teams do this any more, perhaps a few years ago they did. When did you see a totally different Man Utd shirt? The kit is their main branding, you will get little more than a small twist on any of the big teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
