You can't force tradition. We haven't got a set kit/design and it's too late to start now! We've traditional colours and that's all that matters. Personally I'm glad our kit isn't slightly tweaked each season...that would be a rip off and rather dull.

Our traditional kit may just just be that.
Traditionally different in design but predominantly primrose and blue with varying amounts of white.

I'm happy with that and I like it that way.
I can't think of anything worse than being stuck with a red vee.

You're right. Definitely the only kit we haven't tried...

Fair enough, but for clarification, I actually meant the primrose and blue bands on the chest and sleeves as worn in the 50's and 60's and occasionally in the early 70's,

I didn't like that kit

I do however like hoops around a shirt not bands on the front.

we did that for the 95 centenary season AKA the custard splodge shirt,

however it's one of the variants that we haven't milked yet.

I do like hoops myself...









Although it must be said I do enjoy my vertical stripes too.

The Langer one (Asics) with the optional Tetley sponsor.

Got that. Nice material as well.

I agree. The late fifties white strip with the primrose and blue bands across the chest and upper arm was quite smart. I also liked the early fifties tight primrose and blue hooped shirt. My favourite strip was the all blue strip of the Murphy era with the letter W on the chest. However I think there can be nothing more grotesque or hideous than an overweight old geezer in a rugby shirt so I am not really entitled to comment as I wouldn't be seen dead in one.
