Disagree Mark, wasn't the 93/94 kit the Ellgren kit sponsored also by Lifting Gear Hire?

Hi,
Ellgren made Leigh's kit for the 1992/93 season which was sponsored by Lifting Gear Hire. This was the season Steve Simms took over as coach and John Pendlebury was captain.
Interestingly the kit had black shorts, a short-lived trend as it turned out.
The away one that year was the same design but in blue.
Best wishes,
Mark Taylor

is it not when murphy and ecky played for lancashire

Hi Keith,
Just had a scan through Mike Latham's book, Leigh Rugby League Club - A comprehensive Record and there's a photo of Leigh playing Swinton in 1972-73 wearing the white shirt with a vee in a home game against Swinton.
So the feeling that it was Leigh's 'alternative' kit looks to be right.
Best wishes,
Mark
