Probably close to our classic shirt

I assume Widnes bought a job lot off the German football team and sewed their own badge and sponsor on?

This one is without doubt the classic and most iconic widnes kit. A minority of Widnes fans seem to think hoops is the kit for us for some godforsaken reason, but this is timeless. An absolute beauty from the year of our finest hour.

No

I think that's pretty much it.......or I think it looks better in red&white than it would in black&white.

Bit small, but still have (and love) the one on here, any giants fans with a better picture, post please

Not strictly the case, I know the designer for O'Neills and he says they are given a basic idea of what the club want and go off, design a few, then the club picks one. If they don't like the designs, they reject them all and the designer goes off and does some more.

claret shirt with thin gold hoops, white collar and huddersfield coat of arms badge for me is the classic fartown shirt and i long for the day we have a proper fartown shirt again.

Thought it would be good to compare the "classic" shirts with the most recent attempt at its design for a comparison. So, the Hull one for example:


Hull FC 2008 (Challenge Cup Final)

One of my favourite ever Hull shirt is that. It's just what a Hull FC shirt should look like. However, we had a lot of problems with kit clashes that year. You get the odd "know it all" who thinks that just because one shirt has a bit of red on it and another shirt has a bit of black on it that they won't clash if the rest of the kit is blooming white!!!

The back of that Hull shirt is mainly white (so you can see the black number), with white shorts and mainly white socks. So the kit is about 75% white 25% black. But apparently the idiots at the RFL who picked what kits the teams should be wearing in 2008 didn't see the following as a clash:
a 80% white 20% cherry home kit of Wigan (rather than a 99% black 1% white away kit),
or a 90% white 10% black home kit of Bradford (rather than a 90% black, 10% white away kit),
or (the one that REALLY annoys me the most) a 90% white 5% claret 5% gold AWAY kit of Huddersfield (over a 80% claret 10% gold HOME kit that has NO colours that clash with the home kit of Hull at all!).

And people complained that Saints had to wear their away kit in the Challenge Cup Final that year! Idiots!

Since then, Hull have adopted a more black kit to avoid this (as a lot of teams have majority white home kits). We've had black shorts and socks every year since then.

2008 Hull KR home shirt in Super League.

Apparently (so I've been told by Rovers fans) they aren't good enough because they don't have the red sleeves! Picky gits!

And can someone tell me which kit design is the traditional Warrington one? Because they've had millions of different combos of primrose, blue and white (with even the main colour changing often from blue to white!)

Anyone got a pic of the Oldham Boddingtons Red and White kit - circa 1989-1992. It is still one of my all time favourites. I think they wore it in the Lancs Cup final and CCSF 1990. Athough the Oldham best know kit is probably the red hoops and blue shorts.

Reproduced last year for 30 years....

I have the white version of that one, from 82-83. think it was the year after they won division two. as it says division two champions 82-83 on the crest. its an original, was my uncle charlies who played for fulham for a while

If you ever feel the need to part with it PM me.....

haha. sadly my friend, it shall be getting framed as soon as i can afford it and taking pride of place on the wall next to my 82 cup final widnes jersey and alan hansens liverpool jersey


nice work on the southern orcas crest btw, i remember mentioning on a franchising thread ages ago that a bid from the south island was aiming for the NRL, only to be shouted down for 'talking '.

That is an incredibly rare picture.





I don't mean the bloke in the Fulham RL shirt, I mean the fact there appears to be more than 4 people in the crowd for a London RL fixture.

Did you think that up all by yourself or did mummy help you?

How's it going Barry McKenzie, knew you couldn't stay away too long

Don't have a club team so it's England and GB only for me.

This is my favourite England shirt and it brings back good memories of the 1995 world cup:



If I could change it slightly I would prefer a different badge and no sponsor.

I also like the GB shirt apart from the four nations badge. I want to compete as one nation and not as a rugby union style British and Irish lions team. I don't mind competing as Great Britain or preferably England, but I don't like the British and Irish or British Isles XIII. That's OK as a once every four years touring team, but not as a national team for world cups etc.

They're actually the Wellington Orcas....if the NRL do want a second team over here, I think it will be based here in Wellington with games taken "on the road" to the south Island. Many discussions have been had regarding the pro's and con's of a south Island NRL team....but the basic facts like demographic make up of the area etc....point to wellington being the next NZ NRL team.
If you ever change your mind re- the Fulham shirt let me know! You might make enough to get a really nice fram from your Widnes Shirt!

Great Britain isn't a nation, it's an island. It does not include Ireland (hence the 'Irish' addition to the name). And GB&I haven't competed for a World Cup for nearly 2 decades.
