Just awful isn't it. There is a theory amongst our fans that RL clubs do it deliberately. Every club has an iconic shirt design that the fans cry out for, Saints have one, Wigan have one, Warrington as well. With Saints fans it's the St George look with the vee or the Meninga two-toned blue away kit for example. But the theory goes that the club won't let the manufacturers design those kits because they'd be too popular. Fans would buy that kit and wear that and not buy anything the club sold for the next ten years. But with semi-awful kits every year, people are more likely to buy.
Hull FC broke your theory this season. In 2015, in conjunction with our 150th Anniversary, we produced the best shirt in years, the iconic B&W irregular hoops. This sold in its thousands as you'd expect. However, this season's shirts broke all records with the V proving very popular along with the Magic white star shirt. A Wembley appearance probably had a lot to do with that, but there is still the hunger to have the new shirt whatever the design within the FC ranks at least.
