well, seen it in the flesh and don't think I will be buying it.

I think there American sizes

noooooooo no no no. FC are Hoops, irregular hoops specifically. Nothing wrong with trying different things but we are black and white hoops. Widnes are just black and white, we have a pattern.

Same as Newcastle United are black and white stripes. They wouldn't change from that, so our hoops should be popping up somewhere.

IMO of course

Isn't the best shirt we have had but ill still buy it. Most of the comments on here are ridiculous. Moaning bar stewards. You have all turned into Gok Wan overnight! It's a rugby shirt ffs and ill still but it because it has the three gold crowns and the words of Hull FC.

People don't have to be Gok Wan just because they don't like the shirt. You just said it yourself, the shirt isn't the best but where as you'll be buying it others won't be. Don't think I will be either I'm going to wait for the away shirt before I make my mind up fully.

O/t ish but I must say the terez hoody looks smart .
Has anyone seen a pic of the new hoody yet ?

The point of emphasising the irregular hoops is that they work in black and white. Look at old b&w photos and you can still distinguish Hull teams/players from the rest. I agree the design of the kit should not be set in stone and be allowed to evolve and be updated but the irregular hoops should be incorporated.

nowt wrong with trying something different, how many variations can they do of black and white irregular hoops?
that's what we got last year and this year is something a bit different, its growing on me, be interesting to see what the away kit looks like

at the end of the day its black with white, has 'Hull FC' on it, simple really but each to their own

We copied the irregular hoops from the aussies after we'd been in existence over 40 years so no point in getting too precious over them. Also plenty of other teams in RL, RU and other sports have and continue to wear irregular hoops.

The club is a commercial operation and need some variety in kits or they'd sell less

Pro shirt.

The outer shield on the badge looks awful!

I heard today the away shirt it just the opposite to the home shirt.. Laughed at the bloke but thought wud put on here

Just been in the shop to take a look at the new shirt and to be honest I thought the quality was awful. The V didn't match up on the body and arms on some shirts but did on others, the badges look poor too. The new rain coat was good so bought one of those instead. The hoodie was also a good design so got one for my lad who also didn't like the shirt.

I looked at the shirt yesterday and agree the quality is awful. As has been said the V doesn't line up on most shirts, the cheap/after thought badges just like they have been stitched on anywhere on some of them, some are so far of of the V its laughable!! As others have said I will wait for the away shirt, won't be buying the home, and if that is of similar quality I will buy one of the training tops which are very nice. £46/47 for a shirt of this quality is very highly priced.

Not very keen on the new shirt.Our range for a few years has been average.The only stuff worth buying is the training range. Our marketing team need to up their game.
Also the shop in Savile St looks like a jumble sale with a very limited stock.
Sorry to say but the HKR shop next door puts it to shame on initial walk up.

My opinion FWIW. I think its awful.

When is the away shirt out?

Not soon enough.

January mate.

To be fare I dont mind the look of the shirt, the badges specially the Hull city collage one looks crap and out of place. I asked about the away shirt and the shop staff said they have no idea what it looks like and wont be on sale til after christmas as its a new thing they are trying this year. Well am thinking they have dropped a right bollock as am sure a lot of people get both shirts for christmas. Can only think they are doing it as the feedback from the home shirt is so poor they feel the wont get many sales so by delaying the away shirts they will get more sales for christmas

Poor planning or the legacy of losing your major sponsor?

Either way, it will hit sales IMO

Or a conscious decision?

I'll get the away shirt for my birthday instead then.

I don't mind the home shirt, but it's pretty similar to a couple of years ago, so hopefully the away one is a bit different.

Anyone who makes a conscious decision to miss Christmas with an RL kit is pretty dumb

We did that a couple of years ago, IIRC we released the away shirt the week before the first away game. The rationale was for a second spree on shirt sales but it hasn;t been repeated since so I assume it didn't work out as hoped.
