Are Huddersfield's away shirts deliberately sh*t or did someone actually think that was a nice kit?

Ahem!!
I know some were for worthy causes but still horrid shirts plus the Denis the menace shirt.

The red and black shirt is better than anything Huddersfield have produced since 2006.

That would be a good Hudds kit if they were the Huddersfield Storm, Lightning or Thunder. It just doesn't make sense why they'd have a lightning bolt otherwise.

because its an alternative shirt...

appeals to the younger fans who dont like the claret and gold

for all that last seasons paintball alternative shirt got bagged, it sold well...so they have tried something abit different again.

having said that i dont think i will be buying due to the horrible collar

Probably the 1st one - and its not just saved for the away shirts, some of our home shirts in recent years have been horrendous too, we seem to have decided that we are catering for the younger market only rather than everyone.

The home shirt is C&G hoops Daz, so I think it's a little unfair on the club to say they're ONLY catering for the younger market.

I like your home effort this year though.

(For the record our away kits class imo, home kit average)

Agreed, old farts like us who like retro and traditional kits arn't supposed to like it. Just like the god awful music that kids listen to these days.

I sound like my dad.

You can still have an alternative shirt (why are they not called away shirts anymore?) that keeps traditions with your club. Just look at the Saints and Wire kits.

I think them Warrington charity shirts are quite decent considering the colours/style they had to incorporate. Can you imagine if Kooga had to design shirts using those colours schemes? Eyeballs will have bled!

As for Hudds 2013 away shirt I think it's quite alright (except the collar) compared to the 2012 effort. Having said that though, they could've done a plain white shirt with a picture of a dog turd in the middle and it would've still been better than last years away shirt.

called alternative because you dont always play in an away shirt when your playing away, its only when the kits clash.. thr rfl state before the season starts which kit you will wear.

id prefer it to be home and away though and like you say keep a tradition.

look at salfords green one last season...nothing to do with tradition there! infact it was a toss up who got it them or us.
