Town utd Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 It is a nice top,but think everyone in rugby league will c it as a South Sydney Rabbitohs top,last year's top was original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inpartial Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Having been named personally on here by pathetic attention seekers (I know who you are) I hope the shirt sells like hot cakes.

I think the clue as to why it’s red and green is in the story behind it, ie the colours of the first shirt ever worn by the town team 75 years ago. So with that in mind it then becomes very identifiable as a town shirt and pays due respect to those that started the club. Last years away shirt highlighted our heritage with the colours of the Cumbrian flag, this years highlights the history of the club with the first ever team colours. In my view both excellent shirts and both original ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookie Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I like that. As someone said, it's the original colours I've no idea why they changed to blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Personally I love the way we are in touch with our heritage . It is the core of everything we are and should be remembered and honoured in ways like this . We do that side excellently . This is a shout out to the earliest days and you can do things like that with away shirts . You basically have free reign . We’ve had some shockers but this isn’t one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view both excellent shirts and both original ideas. The reasons above are exactly why we have chosen this jersey. We understand and appreciate that it's relevant because South Sydney wear these colours, but if you like them both then please purchase the one with a unicorn on it. We really appreciate the feedback and it's gone down very well.

old un Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 As a 15 year old was at that very first game with two Seaton pals. The only thing I remember was George Armstrong scoring the first try and Denis Cavanagh kicking the first goal. I would like to know that team that day. Reference to the Tangerine shirt, it was all tangerine. I seem to think it was used as the way shirt. I believe it was worn the first time on Gus Risman's home game for Town on his return from the 1945 'Indomitables' test matches in Oz along with prop Fred Hughes.

Totally agree, I am a traditionalist - I can't remember playing in hoops; either a single blue band or 'V' for me. Look how Wigan and Saints keep their identity.
