bosstrabs Watched a lot of RL late 80s/early 90s. Hey day of Wigan/Widnes/Warrington. Some great kits round that era too……
Footy kits
I didn’t know you were a Widnesian, IS. Even as a Wire, the late 80s Widnes side were the epitome of great rugby.
These were some classics of the garish early 90s that I didn’t buy but wish I had (and kept) now…

I feel we are getting off topic here, but I do like the oddness of the rugby seven’s shirts. A bastard hard game, basically shuttle runs made into a sport, with daft clobber.
A lovely selection, amps, they would all look sensational outside twickkers with a picnic, boot cuts, brown brogues and a load of hooray henrys surrounding the boot of a landrover sport…
bosstrabs my old man was a big Lpool fan, so as a kid we used to go up to the North West and see the Reds on a Sat / RL on the Sunday. Very spoilt watching Barnes and Beardsley one day, Tait/Offiah/Davis on the Sunday. Some unbelievable games, going all over to watch games as far afield as Leigh, Huddersfield, Bradford etc.
Always loved the Greenalls yellow…….a mate from Uni used to be a big Wire fan….plus a massive fan of Legends Warrington. Always brought back mix tapes which were superb……there was one with “Gypsy - I trance you” which was hammered out of his Golf for the most of our first year in ’92
Warrington were shite in those days. Mostly known as a dirty team with hooligan fans. Wilderspool was known as the Zoo. A poor relation to those Widnes and Wigan teams.
That kit was worn the first season I started watching them. Eventually Greenalls must have complained that the lettering was almost invisible on TV so halfway through the season they ‘upgraded’ the first team kit to a new version that had Greenalls in big white lettering on a big blue panel. But this being early 90s sport, some matchdays they ended up with a mismatch of new and old.
And officially, it’s never been ‘yellow’, always primrose.
Dave, no one cares.
Rugby league is the sporting equivalent of psy trance.
You mean ‘Si trance’? Stuff like Gouryella and 9pm (Til I Come)
Rugby League.
Fucking lol.

Glessed?
Probably should post a picture of Reg Hollis for ole Davey boy.
Do you mean Dave Edna Ever-reg?
A third ever lol for Si!
I’d say Rugby Union pre “official” professionalism was LOL. Bunch of public school boys or West Country farmers singing “when the end of the month comes around “ and drinking their own piss after games……no, sorry , it’s still like that .
The caliber of late 80s/early 90s rugby league teams and matches were off the charts . Watch some of the World Club championship games with the best of GB/AUS teams going at it . Obviously nowadays it’s a totally different story with the rise of Union, but still a great sport central to a lot of communities . A bit like football was many moons ago .
Always come back from Latin America loaded with footy kits…. this one was a favourite
Boca Juniors do boss kits tbf.

New Liverpool kit allegedly
Don’t like the black on it either. Red, white and black on the home kit is Man United colours.
Black on the away is fine.
It’s pretty rough. Had higher hopes of Nike
The picture behind it is horrific too.

Better than some current offerings. The Current England one being a horror show.
Tony Wilson is turning in his grave.
