| Quote ="saint george"Don't have a club team so it's England and GB only for me.
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.
 '"
was bought two of that shirt, one by the parents and one by the girlfriend. many people habve offered to take one off my hands since then.
there were two versions, one with a sponsor, one without (I have each!). |

And the "& Ireland" was only tagged on so Brian Carney was eligible, wasn't it?!  |

That would be because for the majority of our existence we have worn hoops. I think thats a fairly good reason.
As for there being a minority--I am unsure. Just because we didnt have our major success in hoops doesnt mean we should never play in them. |

No. In fact, I recall one of the old GB kits having a green trim on it. |

I'll take your word for that. The only green trim I can recall is from the old John Smith's sponsorship! |

I think so, got a feeling it had a badge that was a bit like a town crest in 4 sections.

| Although it's not very traditional, I loved the 1994 GB shirt (the Puma King / John Smiths one).  |

I think this has green on the tip of the collar but this picture is pretty bad!

In a guide which looks like it is from the very early years of the game Warrington's colours are given as 'Primrose and Blue (Vertical Stripes), Blue Knickers'.
They do seem to have had quite a number of different kit designs over the years though. |

You'd have thought they'd have at least used that design for one season this century then wouldn't you! |

One game isn't one season (although one game can make a season!).
If it's their traditional design, they should bring it back for a year. |
