Now you mention it I remember the debate about this last year. Although I would like to point out that we have had kits with green on in the past.

Green? Never in Hull. I won't even wear green socks or a khaki jacket to matches.

Like both of Hendrix's shirts. Our black and white irregular hoops are one of the most recognized shirts the world over. That should be celebrated and exploited every year in either the home or alternative design. It's who we are. Pearson's new local pride philosophy should be reflected by our traditional shirts being utilized as often as possible. Didn't buy either shirt last year, won't this year either if they don't look like a Hull shirt.

Would like to see a white star on a black background for one of next year's 150th birthday designs, though.

You can't be that ill. get yourself to work you lazy twot

Out of interest, why?

really, and you're FROM Hull?

Déjà vu

I only know because of last year's discussion. Not everyone from Hull has a fishing background.

Isn't the green thing only on a ship/boat anyway?

I didn't know about the green thing till last year. Still wore a green hoody to some of the games though, nothing bad happened, off the pitch anyway.

Something to do with it being bad luck to wear green on a boat/ship/trawler, the link to Hull FC being the city's fishing heritage.

Ignore standee, like someone else said I only knew this because it was discussed here last year and I'm from Hull.

that demonstrates how poorly engaged with their locality and history people have become.

its a trawlermans superstition..........

red and green shall not be seen,

except upon a gypsy queen,,,

its because they correspond to the colours of the navigation lights.......,

So Hull FC, based in West Hull.

West Hull - play in green.

Not sure I understand how we avoid it but they don't

Used to play for West Hull, I was speaking to Sir Jonny Whitely at training one night when he came down to watch. Apparently he chose the colours for West Hull (Green & Gold) due to him coaching Great Britain to victory over Australia.
Don't know how true that is, but if true. Then the colour green doesn't seem to bother him.

I do prefer a predominantly white home kit. Like the white star idea.

I also used to play for West Hull and have indeed had the conversation with Johnny Whitely about him choosing the Green and Gold of Australia when he was asked to choose colours for West Hull many years back. He told me this whilst my 2 year old had him wrapped around his little finger whilst he was trying to judge the MoM in the ameature cup final hthis year between Wests and Norland at Craven Park. Great guy.

I "can't be that ill" because I managed to click a few buttons on my laptop?

Sorry I'll come to you next time instead of my GP, Dr The Peg.

if green was unlucky for ships,why were lord line trawlers painted green?

Best ask Standee, what with his expert knowledge of local history & that

No thanks.

Both smart designs, but would you be allowed black and white on both home and away kits, or have they done away with that rule now?

Well we did last year so i guess it is fine, think Widnes did the same in 2012 as well.

Hey, no need to be so defensive, I'm not the one paying you to sit on your ass playing with the computer

It doesn't matter how many times this topic comes up,we SHOULDNT wear a green kit out of respect for all the trawler men who lost their lives at sea,we was a Hessle road club in the heart of the fishing industry and many of those that were lost at sea was supporters of our club and we should respect the superstition.

Not being payed to do it? I'm payed hourly.
