    I agree. If I’ve got my history right then the Hull Daily Mail reporter who coined our nick name specified our stripes as the thing that was reminiscent of tigers. No stripes then no nickname, no tiger emblem. They're the foundation of our identity. Stop dicking around with them.

    Quite agree. We are The Tigers because we played in stripes. Until that reporter said than in their black and amber stripes we looked like a team of tigers our nickname was The Cityzens. Comments about we haven’t traditionally played in stripes or our identity is a team that alternates between stripes and plain shirts is bull. We have had periods when we played in one or the other. Up until WW2 with the exceptions of one season we played in stripes. Harold Needler didn’t like stripes. He also wanted to change our name to Kingston Upon Hull AFC with a kit of orange and blue with a badge of the three coronets. Wonder what our nickname would have been then? The first programmes for Boothferry Park were printed with a player wearing the blue and orange kit. Unlike the Allams he listened to the outcry and changed his mind. But he still wouldn’t have stripes so after one season in pale blue when the dyes became available again we had plain amber shirts.They stayed that way for a number of years. Though my first game in 1963 saw them in stripes. And the season after. After the ridiculous all amber with 2 hoops on the shirt we went back to plain shirts for quite a while. It is totally incorrect to say we have a history of alternating or our identity is a club which does.

    I like the twin-hooped shirt, I’d be happy to see us do a new version.

    If you had been going at the time you would have been in a minority Everyone I know hated it. It was more yellow than amber. If it had been proper amber with black shorts it may have been different.Though I still wouldn’t have liked it. Stripes every time for me for obvious reasons.

    Hope they sort out the mirrors in the toilets when they are gender neutral.

    Interesting to think what would have happened if Harold Needler had got his away regarding changing our kit and our name. The first programmes at BP showed the kit. Click on the smaller photo underneath and it shows how a future 80,000 capacity BP was envisaged. East Stand was just a temporary one when built as it would have been the lower tier in what would have been the largest capacity stand in the league. There used to be a model of it in the boardroom though it was slightly different to that artist’s impression. The idea was to have internationals there. Derby had plans for a 70,000 one and Port Vale for a 72,000 one. They all got kicked into touch when England signed up to play all their home games at Wembley.

    I love the body of the shirt, not 100% convinced with the thick amber band on the sleeves. Suppose it will grow on me, I hope.

    Still love the 3rd kit, so hopefully they will order enough this time.

    I'd say it makes me feel sick but that's the case with all Scouse shirts

    I remember it and it was a popular choice with other clubs too at that time, West Ham being the most well known to play in hoops. But it never caught on with the fans. Remember letters to 'Sportsmen Say' claiming the team looked as though a crane was about to lift them off the pitch when they wearing it. Personally I didn't mind, it was very much a 60's thing, something different, but it's stripes for me.

    West Ham used the hoops as an away lt. Remember that kit. Seem to recall Palace played in a white shirt for a time with a blue band with a claret line on the top and bottom of it. Had a look to confirm it. Seems the last time they wore it was against us in Sept 1963 when they started wearing a different kit.
