It's that time of the year everyone, the time where Rugby League Live reporter and fashion expert Dan Tomlinson (we use that term very, very loosely) ranks every Super League club's shirts for the upcoming season.

The most pretigious list of it's type, 2025's designs prove once again that while not doing its part on the field in recent times, Yorkshire at least knows how to look the part, with the White Rose clubs knocking it out of the park once again this season.

So, sit back, grab a cuppa, and enjoy.

12th: Leigh Leopards, 7/20

Home: My nan always used to tell me if you've got nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all! 1/10

Away: Credit where it's due. This is a strong comeback from the Leythers. Certainly the best of the leopard print so far. 6/10

11th: Warrington Wolves, 8/20

Home: A primrose over blue design for the Wire. I'm sure it looks better in person. 3/10

Away: Purple rain. A bold colour choice and simple but effective design. 5/10

10th: Hull KR, 9/20

Home: A tribute to the late Rob Burrow; a lovely sentiment, but the design isn't for me. 4/10

Away: Another tribute, this time to John Venn, a mathematician born in Hull in 1834. The Robins have also released a third (and really slick) shirt, continuing Super League's navy blue theme. 5/10

9th: Huddersfield Giants, 10/20

Home: A different take on the Claret and Gold, with patterns on the sleeves and the bottom of the shirt. 4/10

Away: The black really complements the blue. Better. 6/10

8th: Catalans Dragons, 11/20

Home: Catalans' home designs are usually on point. However, not this year. 4/10

Away: The French club are still to release their away kit, but their third isn't too shabby at all. Black with a green stripe. The Dragons branding below the badge is also cool. 7/10

7th, St Helens, 12/20

Home: The Red Vee is symbiotic with St Helens - and Jonny Vegas. Seen better attempts but still gets the message across. 5/10

Away: A strong silky navy blue design. Good mix of red, too. 7/10

6th: Wigan Warriors, 13/20

Home: Classic Cherry and White hoops with a black and gold detail to honour the club's heritage. The Champions just do everything right, don't they? Not an ideal sponsor colour (be better being black), but still a solid effort. 7/10

Away: A tidy navy blue option with a good pattern, but again, the sponsor colour doesn't do it for me. 6/10

5th: Salford Red Devils, 14/20

Home: The Salford Reds are rising... Simple and effective design. I like this. 7/10

Away: Super League has more navy blue this year than rugby league people called Barry, but this is a great effort. The best from over the Pennines. 7/10

4th: Wakefield Trinity, 15/20

Home: A traditional number from Wakefield. Classic but also modern. 7/10

Away: This is right up there. Slick, stylish, and catches the eye. Love it. 8/10

3rd: Leeds Rhinos, 16/20

Home: A blue and amber classic. This is superb. 9/10

Away: The black pattern reminds me of the England football team's retro design from 1990, worn by yours truly at the Euro's. 7/10

2nd: Castleford Tigers, 17/20

Home: A return to black and amber for the Fords. A solid effort with the Yorkshire Pride pub in Benidorm standing proud on the chest. What's not to like? 8/10

Away: Bold and bright. Castleford certainly don't sit on the fence. You'll either love this or hate it. I'm the former. Superb. 9/10

1st: Hull FC, 18/20

Home: Go on, call me biased, blinkered, or whatever, but nothing in rugby league beats Hull FC in predominately white Black and White irregular hoops. Nothing. 10/10

Away: A different take on the blue with a lighter shade. Not bad. The third kit of black and gold is also slick. 8/10
