Hull City
Hull City's kit history is built around the club's long‑standing association with amber and black, a palette they adopted from the very beginning and which earned them the nickname "The Tigers," even as they moved between stripes, plain amber shirts and more experimental designs across different eras. Early decades saw regular shifts between striped and solid shirts, with occasional detours such as the ultramarine‑and‑white municipal‑colours kit of 1935 or the light‑blue shirts worn briefly after the Second World War due to rationing. From the late 1970s onward, manufacturers began to leave a stronger imprint: Europa, Adidas and Admiral shaped the look through the 70s and 80s, before Matchwinner's early‑90s tenure produced the infamous tiger‑print shirt — now cult‑famous among supporters. Later suppliers such as Pelada, Super League, Olympic Sports, Avec, Patrick and Diadora each introduced their own interpretations, while the modern era has been dominated by Umbro and Adidas, who have alternated between traditional stripes and cleaner amber‑first designs. Across all these changes, Hull's kits have remained some of the most distinctive in English football, consistently leaning into the tiger‑themed identity that sets the club apart.
