Did Hull KR Copy PSG's 23-24 Kit?
- Kit Similarity: Hull KR's new rugby kit has a very similar design to PSG's 23-24 home football kit, featuring a dark navy base and an off-centre fading red stripe.
- Time Difference: The Hull KR kit was released about 18 months after the PSG kit, suggesting it's likely a direct copy or heavily inspired design rather than a coincidence.
- Availability and Popularity: The new Hull KR kit is on sale for £51.99 and has been very popular, selling out in most sizes.
An interesting cross-sport kit similarity has emerged with the launch of Hull Kingston Rovers' 2025 Alternate Shirt. The new rugby league kit, made by Oxen, features a design concept remarkably similar to Paris Saint-Germain's 2023-2024 home kit, manufactured by Nike.
Coincidence? Hull KR 2025 Rugby Kit Bears Striking Resemblance to PSG 23-24 Home Shirt
Both jerseys share the same core elements. A dark navy base color with a prominent vertical red stripe, positioned slightly off-centre towards the wearer's left. Both the PSG Nike kit and the Hull KR kits feature a distinctive fade effect on the red and white stripes as they move down the shirt, blending into the navy base.
The fact that the Hull KR kit, made by Oxen, was released approximately 18 months after the Nike PSG kit makes claims of coincidence highly unlikely, suggesting it's a direct copy or, at the very least, heavily inspired by the football giants' design.
Hull KR 2025 Alternate Kit
The Hull KR 2025 Navy Twist Alternate Shirt is available for purchase on the club's official store, priced at £51.99 - the shirt is extremely popular and sold out in virtually all sizes.
