It's weird how you associate things with certain memories. I remember this shirt because I was watching us on Sky playing Hudds away at the start of the 2003 season, and the War in Iraq was started that night (with the infamous 'shock and awe' campaign). I remember flicking between SkySports and Abu Dhabi TV News to see the latest! And I think Stanly Gene knocked Dean Gaskell out cold (or maybe that was a later match).
EDIT: It was London away on Sky. The Hudds match was the previous month.

Seems I’m 2 years out on everything! Won’t even get a Popmaster T-shirt.
I actually remember the Huddersfield game, Gary Hulse has his best game for us.

I think you're thinking of the one nat wood kicked out of 3 giants players, they got promoted and were touted as this rough side, then he dispatched 3 of their rougher forwards

Why? It would look stupid. Why do some people demand that people prove to everybody else that they aren't homophobic or racist etc. Just get on with being a good member of society and you will be ok.
On the wire shirts. I was a fan of your 2013 p&b stripes and the team want half bad then either.

I think Adam Doyle would politely point out that being the second fattest behind Owen Craigie doesn’t necessarily mean he was anywhere near the Buddha-like portliness of Owen Criagie.
Having said that, at least Craigie could play a bit, even if it was only for 10 minutes a game.

To be honest I’m not entirely sure that would look that great on the shirt.
It would be far from the worst one we’ve had, mind…

| Just a bit of trivia
The Rainbow TV programme theme song was sung by Hugh Fraser, who played Captain Hastings (Poirot) and the Duke of Wellington (Sharpe) on the telly box.
I liked the Omega shirt, that was made out of a comfortable fabric to wear. Sadly, they've been made out of the shiny, horrible soccer shirt stuff, since.

| I'd personally like to commit to yellow first and blue second for the shirt, with blue shorts and socks.
I think the Hull KR away kit from this season is a perfect example of it working.
Imagine that kit but with our 2015 away shirt instead. I think it would be a decent look.

What is this "yellow" of which you speak?

It’s interesting that the actual colour of Primrose flowers isn’t really reflected on the shirt designs. Was it the 1995 centenary shirt that got the closest?

| I could with that for Primrose eW something softer in tone than some acid yellows or warmer ones tending towards amber. Although has often been said previously, a lot depends on how much and how it used.

| The reason I did call it primrose is mainly due to the fact that we never actually use primrose and if we did, it would look awful.

Not quite sure it's a "fact"
It's all about opinions for sure and mine would be to embrace the Primrose, it's how we are universally known by firstly finding and agreeing on the right/best one as there is quite a range in nature and paint pots then sticking with it as a signature. colour.
Unless we are rebranding like Castleford's disappointing (IMO) recent use of dayglo Orange, I'd then weave that Primrose with Blue and or Blue and White to the best effect in pattern and quantity of each component, you know like a design process.

| I would have thought we'd be hearing whispers about the design of the new kit by now. Unfortunately (for me anyway) I don't think it will be a radical shift away from the mostly blue design. I think we really could have done with something that psychologically for the players would represent a completely different feel to 2023. Fresh start and all that. I guess we'll see.

That's the closest to primrose that seems to be available. It seems there is after all a less ominous Hoover logo in use, it's just that we chose the big red 1950's one.
Obviously they are soccer shirts and were thrown together in 2 minutes, but you get the idea. I'll have a longer play with it tomorrow and see if I can get a design that looks okay and satisfies most of the preferences on here.

| Just end the primrose/yellow debate by wearing red and green (our most popular colours based on how fast the retro released last season sold out), or red and black (our original colours) as our home kits.
The away kits in those colours have all been miles better than any home kit we've ever had.
