Should Ulster Play.....

[Big Smoke Culchie]

The colours have always been white and red. If you want to change your strip every 20 minutes go and support Saracens.

[Gael]

I like the idea of it but the colours are cat together, let's not cod ourselves.

My aging memory seems to think that the Forrest green shirt was the corporate IRFU influence (same as the script writing under the badge).

Think that was the season after we moved from the red, white and blue shirt.

What about a purple away kit?

...in yellow and red to reflect the colours of the Ulster fleg?

No. Which Ulster flag is that? The yellow one is a rather recent 'fleg' at Ravenhill, the teams white shirt isn't.

The Ulster provincial flag is yellow and red. Whether it is a recent addition at Ravenhill is irrelevant.

It certainly isn't irrelevant to me. Ulster play in white. The yellow flag is nothing at all to do with the side at all any more than the white N.I. flag. It's a pointless suggestion as it's never going to happen. Who decides these things by the way? Who came up with the 'Ulster' flag? Far better keeping wombat doos like this out of rugby. We managed it through 40 years of terrorism. I see no need to change it.

Why blue?
Why black?
Why not yellow?
And while we're on the subject... when it's time to redesign the home shirt, can we have plain white with the red hand and discard the red flashings that make it look like an ice hockey shirt?

Jack, I know you're older than me, but I remember an Ulster provincial flag being flown in the 70s. For most of us, that's not recent.

No, no, no...

Maybe we could base it on this rather fetching melchester rovers kit

Yellow and red simply don't work and I can't think of any kit in yellow that works for me. White is Ulster and red is and should remain the alternative. When it comes to a 3rd kit we should of course indulge a little and call it our HEC shirt if you like but there should never really be a need to play in it. As for me I will continue to fly whatever fleg I choose as it has more place than say the Iranian fleg we fly... The last comment shouldn't be seen as any type of support for our First Minister.

BR , I also remember the Union Flag flown at all home games, do you? As I have said before I note that Munster , Leinster and Connacht are all flying their national flag at home games, god forbid the first person asks them to stop, they will instantly become a bigot , racist or bully, but good old Ulster do not fly theirs as not to upset anyone, that's the ulster way, can't wait to pop onto the Castre or Toulon chat rooms to see the endless bitching about the booing and the poor crowd behaviour , oh wait that ain't going to happen as their fans don't belong to the " let's complain about others to show what a great fan I am brigade" or KNOBS for short.
I fecking hate Sunday mornings.

Fixed that for you

It's not that long ago that the Union Flag was flying at Ravenhill. No idea why it was taken down. I looked for the tricolour at the RDS at the sf and couldn't see one.
I hoped this thread wouldn't descend onto the traditional twice yearly flegs debate.

Indeed, but that is a whole different topic, it's a wonder it's never been discussed here...
My point was purely on the providence of the Ulster arms.

I don't remember it being flown at ourDS, but that part of Dublin has a little more sense than the rest of that country

It is definitely flown at the Aviva, alongside the provincial Ulster fleg ....

So basically, Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal are represented twice

FLEGS!
