Quote ="Mrs Barista"It's to do with green being an unlucky colour for trawlermen, although this doesn't appear to have been a showstopper at West Hull..'"
Thought this myth was debunked ages ago. Most were black but there were plenty of green `hulled' trawlers sailed out of Hull.
Green was also the predominant colour of most terraced houses on Hessle Rd in the 50's, as the cheapest paint, (bring your own tin)
was from a small factory in Edinburgh St IIRC. (They only made one colour!)
It is a very nice shirt though.
