Has anyone seen the Widnes kit for the Magic Weekend?

Pure genius, why didn't we think of it?

Don't know how to post piccies on here, sorry.

Posted a few weeks ago that we should have done similar

Why would we want to play in vertical stripes? Just to get a few locals on side?

I hope we play in our home strip.

Widnes unveil charity shirt
Last Updated: 14:53 26/02/15



Widnes Vikings have produced a Magic Weekend shirt with the support of former Newcastle footballer Peter Beardsley to raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

The Super League club say every penny raised from the sale of a special edition black and white jersey that will be worn by the team at the Super League Magic Weekend at St James' Park, Newcastle, on May 30 will go to the cancer charity.

Former Newcastle, Liverpool and England striker Beardsley, who unveiled the shirt with Vikings players Willie Isa, Phil Josephand Danny Craven, said: "The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation is a charity which is close to the hearts of everyone in Newcastle.

"It's great to see Widnes Vikings offering their support ahead of the Magic Weekend at St. James' Park."

The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, set up in the name of the former Newcastle, Barcelona and England manager who died of cancer in July 2009, was founded to raise money to help research in the quest for early detection and treatment of the disease.


absoloutly fantastic guesture by widnes

Without doubt fc will offer ANOTHER shirt.. because certain Individuals will buy it no-matter what.... and as for white star.... ive got one limited edition from 2000 I think, number 200 odd of 500... thats when it really was a special edition

You do know that you have a choice wether to buy one or not don't you.

Why do people always feel that the club are somehow robbing them by introducing new items to their retail store? I as some of you know follow QPR a club with probably a very similar fan base as Hull FC. Demographics I suspect are exactly the same. (I'm not getting into a debate about football & RL here so don't start) but they have tuns of stuff to sell including a big range of replica current & retro shirts. Have a look http://www.shop.qpr.co.uk/gb/ Hoops fans don't whinge about the club trying to raise a bob or two they either buy or don't. I personally would like to see a 1980s Umbria retro shirt with ABI Caravans on it. That I'm sure would be a big seller similar to QPRs retro range which can always be seen at their ground.

I'd like the club to release this Jersey , Sponsorship free .

me too, but i suppose they would worry that fans buying that shirt wouldn't bother with a polyester replica for years to come.

Farewell to the Boulevard jersey was a huge seller ... No polyester in sight .
