Jeanzi Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) They were team kevlars I can confirm that. All the same design with Thomas Armstrong’s in the same place. The only difference is the makers of the suits. Kauko’s was made by Rusty Harrison’s mother. Hence the 50 shades of orange It faded out mid season due to the change in personnel.

They even all have the same Thomas Armstrong logo in the same position on the same arm. and would that be the great late Ian Thomas standing next to his team in their team suits that he was totally against ? oranges are not the only fruit . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every rider’s suit was made by a different manufacturer but to the same design. Black right arm and half a black leg arm. Even John Branney’s wulfsport top and they all include the Thomas Armstrong logo on the right arm. Everybody has the same design on the bottom half too.

Honestly Ya like a dog wid a bone, they are nowt like each other and I can assure you Worky have never (in all their history) ever had or provided riders with a team suit. If it was a team suit they wouldn't need bibs for a start and they would match exactly, look at pictures of Newcastle and Glasgow or Ipswick... Team Suits.

Oh and here's the annoying Chihuahua yapping on!!!! Sticking an orange tee shirt over the top of some black Kevlar's can in no way be construed as a team suit, no matter what is written on the sleeve of the suit; more like a two piece! Furthermore you would be surprised as to whose phone numbers I have and the next time I speak to Rob G I will tell him to get to Primark (other stores are available) buy 7 white tee shirt's and get HEB WEALTH AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS printed on the front and a big number on the back of them and "hey presto" 7 team suits for under a fiver a suit... Now I know Rob is a pacifist and doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body however I am sure the Boss (their lass) would clip me swiftly round the ear for being so ridiculous (so can I point out that in no way am I suggesting this should be done I am only being facetious for comedic effect and would suggest I am failing quite miserably) So when is a team suit not a team suit and this is not an exhaustive list 1. When they don't match 2. When it needs a bib 3. When only 4 or 5 of the 7 man team have matching gear 4. When they need a team tee shirt over the top of unmatched Kevlar's (this is a two piece) 5. When its like saying to a football team we play in Blue and 4 turn up in Sky Blue; 5 in Royal Blue and 1 in a Blue made from spare material his mam had and it was Royal Blue (but it was really Navy Blue) when she made it but once it was washed it turned into a Paler Blue than Pale and finally the goalie was told Yellow but arrives in a Green top and everyone knows Blue and Green should never be seen 6. When its a "Theme Suit" (no I haven't developed a lisp) when the riders themselves follow a theme aka orange and black What do you think people would say if Scunny turned up with a two piece ensemble; they would get slated for trying to do something on the cheap and a club should not get grief if they chose not to provide team suits, or derided for a themed suit if the riders get together and agree a colour scheme whether someone thinks its professional or not? I think we can all agree Speedway is professional in name only and its woes are aired on here all the time and type of suit is a personal preference for fans. Team suits wont make this Scunny team go any faster (tee shirts might slow them up; wind drag coefficient and all that) and as I have stated previously looking at the side Scunny have put together I think they will be knocking on the door of the play off places for sure with a top four spot there for the taking and I cant wait for my annual visits which will sadly reduce this year due to the demise of Workington but I will be down for the Newcastle meeting for sure all being equal...

Regards THJ Many clubs have had race jackets aswell as having matching suits. Wolves did it for a period, Glasgow have in recent times, Poole did back in the early 2000s and Lakeside to name just a few. Both Branney brothers always wore the awful two part attire but that must of been personal preference to them.

But Workington never have!!!! ever!!! to name one who haven't!!! ever!!! never!!! ever!!!! Both Branney boys had a good relationship with Wulf Sports from Workington who may have sponsored them as well but I am unsure on that one; however they certainly wore Wulf Sports tops and gear....

Jeanzi Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I sadly designed to suits back in my school days. This was based of Carl Stonehewer and Peter Karlssons suits in the early 2000’s. They were awful but it’s what was wanted. These were 100% team suits with the race jackets worn over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moranboys Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 in all fairness why don't we have th teams just wearing the racing bibs over there own leathers.riders are distinctive enough for people to know who they are.wether they are pink and black as in josh bates or blue as are chris harris,s set or black and green for charles wright it doesn't matter.i know as a youngster that doug dyer stood out in his white hassled leathers.its the same, to some degree, like ty proctors distinct orange goggles and peak.very distinctive.
