Hoops one year,V's the next.We are known for our famous irregular hoops so we should try and keep to them.What matters most is the players who are wearing the shirts and their desire to win.Saying that Crusher looked alright with the V shirt on.

spot on

How can anyone vote for a mostly black strip when the team's playing summer rugby !!! Totally barmy, they'll boil in the sun and be even more knackered than Radford looks now ffs. I know most home games will probably be friday night but it can still be hot in the stadium !

TBH I am not sure the colour plays a big factor, it is the material it would be nice to have cotton.

Believe me it does, I lived in the tropics for four years and wearing black is not a good idea until you're used to it and before you say this isn't the tropics it can still get hot in that stadium mate

Agree with the cotton comment though

but we dont have a summer here especially at 8pm on a friday night

I guess like the majority of fans I'd much prefer the black and white irregular hoops but would be fairly happy with a years break - however the kit MUST be instantly recognisable as Hull FC - e.g. a white shirt with irregular black Vs or vice versa.

As for a predominantly black shirt, I don't see it as a problem. This season from May onwards we only played four mid afternoon games.

TBF, this is England and out of 13 home games this year I reckon I could count on one hand the amount that I wasn't wrapped up in a bloody fleece lol!!!

TBF mate the black will be the home strip so predominantly used on a friday night.

Me too. Would be made up with that.

Yeah I'd go for the black shirt with the Irregular 'V' - just like the irregulars shirts - they're smart!!

I'd even do my hair to match!!

how about black with a white v like every one is saying for the home shirt but for the away shirt white with a black v, just the same as each other but with inverse colours.

this way we will be in the black on the home night games and in a cool white for the hot Sunday afternoon away matches.

whatever the design as long as its made from cotton i will be happy

Away shirts aren't allowed to be the same colours as the Home shirts, RFL guidelines.

Ok, very very very very very very dark navy blue, on a very very very light white with a hint of cream.

Pedant!!!

Noir et blanc then



I'm sure the RFL won't notice!



I do wonder how we got away with the away kit from 2003-4. That was black with a white trim. And 2006 was black with silver/white V.

Does it have to be a certain percentage?

If you can have "Cherry" and "Primrose" why not?

I think so, yes. Otherwise there'd be no point in a reserve kit...mind you it's never bothered the RFL when we play Bradford or Huddersfield lol!!!

Just found this in regards to the colours situation:

PLAYING STRIP
B1:22 Each Club shall comply with the following:

(a) All Clubs shall submit to the Board for approval by the date specified from time to time by the RFL and in any event before the same is produced for use in matches or for resale to the public the playing strip form prescribed by the Board from time to time and which contains full details of their playing strip and alternative strip for the forthcoming Season which shall both include the official RFL logo and/or official sponsor(s) logo(s) and may include a sponsors' logo and the name of the manufacturer of the Colours, both of which shall conform to the current contractual obligations with the television companies ("the Colours"icon_wink.gif and with the directives published by the RFL from time to time. The RFL shall publish directives showing the sizes, numbers and positions of the sponsors’ logos which clubs shall be allowed to display on playing strip. In addition the Clubs shall ensure that the sponsors logos are permitted advertising in the country in which it is intended the playing strip shall be worn. The alternative strip shall have a different base colour from the principle kit. Until further notice the date specified shall be 31 October for Super League and 31 December for National League.

(b) All players' jerseys shall be of the registered colours and (unless otherwise provided for by B1:20 (h) below numbered 1 to 17 and in any case the numbers must be clearly defined figures to be not less than 23 cm in height and which must be clearly visible and must stand out from the surrounding background which may necessitate placing the number on a patch.

(c) Upon approval being given to the Colours, the Club shall not make any
alterations or addition thereto in any way during the Season without the prior written consent of the Board.

(d) Registration of the Colours may be refused if the whole or any part of it contains material that is offensive or should not be permitted to be used in any televised game or if the size, number or positions of the logo on the Colours exceeds that referred to above or if in the opinion of the Board the principal and alternative playing strips do not consist of different base colours.

(e) In any televised Match the Clubs participating shall ensure that their Colours are those authorised and shall be made available to any television producer prior to the Match. If a jersey is damaged during the course of the Match it shall be immediately replaced with a similar jersey containing the same number that was worn prior to its replacement.

(f) Each Club shall comply with the kit directives issued by the RFL. Where the Colours clash with that of the home Club (and the match referee shall be the final arbiter), the visiting Club must change.

(g) The Colours shall not be of a colour or design which is either the same as or similar to the strips worn by the Match Officials.

Liar, you went looking for it.

As long as the base colour is different, then it doesn't appear to matter.

At the end of the day, if Warrington can have a blue with white and primrose V as an away kit, and a white with blue and primrose V as a home (or any other combination of those three), then I don't see why we can't have a black with white and white with black V as home and away. The base colours are the same size after all.

Yes, I went looking for it. And then... I found it. So, in what way did I lie, exactly?



Now if I'd have said it found me...
