I want a 2012 shirt.

AND I WANT IT NOW.

You've missed out then. It sold out on Ebay in 1995.

Can I buy the new shirt or am I forbidden after your comments over weekend?

Don't really like the look of the new shirt, why can't they just give the fans what they (I'd expect mostly) want - white shirt with large red band.

Last year's home one was crap, this one looks like been poor too.

I like it. But I'm far from certain that it is real. Or certainly not final - the lack of the sportingbet logo, for example. I'm not sure we'd go white on red two years running, either.
3 weeks and we'll know...

Not up to me how many shirts you've got, seems a nice thing to collect if you're into that.

Seemed a bit harsh accusing me of being banjaxed at about eight in the morning.

Don't really collect them, but I do like rugby (and football shirts), and like most fans have views on what makes a good or bad Rovers shirt, that's all.

According to Google 'banjaxed' means tired or sleepy?

Of course there are other words which could equally serve both meanings. Here is an example (4 and 7)

Because we don't want exactly the same shirt year after year. Last seasons was good anyway

Personal taste of course, but in my opinion the club should be instantly recognizable as soon as you see the shirt.
Minor changes to the white shirt with a red band theme.

If you are happy to shell out 45 quid a year for a shirt that only had minor changes then so be it, I doubt everyone is

It was beyond awful (away shirt not too bad,, described as black and white by some commentators, anyway

). I like the Peru football shirt idea. Looks a bit like a Miss World sash.

Gee, sorry Phil. Didn't mean to offend you by stating my opinion.

If you are happy to shell out 45 quid a year for some random garment with a Rovers badge on it then so be it, I doubt everyone is.

Whats random about it, it's A Rovers home shirt. Red and White, tradition is all well and good but a boring white shirt with a red band wouldn't be a massive seller year on year i'm afraid. The shirt and it's style needs to be different every single season to get the sales the club expects.

I guess you're right. It probably explains why Real Madrid are in pink and green paisley pattern this season.

Totally agree

Yes, that must be it. Fancy comparing a club that within one month of signing a player had sold 1.2 million shirts with his name on the back in Madrid alone with a club that will be lucky to sell 7000 Shirts.

Rovers customers are the same people year on year, I'd hazard a guess that Real Madrid appeal to slightly more people than Hull Kingston Rovers and if one person doesn't buy a shirt that will be cancelled out by someone else somewhere around the world deciding to buy one.


A white shirt with a red band is nice to have every now and again but 2 of the last 3 have been based on that design

So the fickle fans of Real Madrid will buy the same old white tat whilst our loyal but modest support won't purchase a recognizably Hull KR kit because, well, it's all a bit samey.

Ok then.

No, Real Madrid have a massive fanbase worldwide, if people decide not to buy a Real Madrid shirt because it looks similar then theres always someone else willing to buy one. Like I said they sold 1.2 million shirts with 9 Ronaldo on the back in madrid alone.

We don't have that luxury and although you are pining for a plain white shirt with a red band it's not something the club can afford to do year on year but i guess as long as you are happy then thats alright

To be honest though I don't really care because i'll be buying a home and away shirt no matter what just like i have for as long as I can remember

I guess that makes you a superior fan. Good for you.

TBF, I think Rovers should go all out for a proper retro shirt. Plain white, broad red band. The efforts based around this so far have been poor - that H thing was rubbish and the Carlotti shirt was the best of a bad bunch. 5 years on, surely it has to be a proper retro shirt? I don't mind the Peru one, but reckon in a season with Mason arriving it would be a fantastic opportunity to go for the best design you can, with the broadest appeal, particularly since last year's shirt was red.
