37 years ago today, City led 2-1 at half-time v. Liverpool

Auction Action – January 2026

Amber shorts paired with black shirts at St. Mary’s
Hull City wore their away kit at Southampton on Saturday. That's not a statement that seems particularly novel or newsworthy, only it wasn't expected that the full change kit as registered with the EFL would be worn in 2025/26. Let me explain,…
Auction Action – December 2025
Just like that, the year 2025 has passed us by. Michael Bublé is back on ice and the January transfer window is open, but as always with Auction Action we’re stuck in the past! We still have a month’s worth of online auction sales to cover before we can join the rest…

Auction Action – October 2025

RIP Don Robinson, Tigers chairman 1982-89
Don Robinson has passed, and a club’s fanbase mourns. The man is a real giant in Hull City’s history, almost anything good you can think of that happened in the 1980s can be traced back to him and his flair for showmanship. Larger than life long before he…

2025/26 change shirt by Kappa – First impressions
Two weeks after the launch of the 2025/26 Primary shirt (which I rather like despite it being solid amber rather than stripes and featuring tiger stripes which I think we’re using too much and running the risk of being gimmicky and pastiche –…

Auction Action – May 2025
Early in May the Tigers brought a pretty wretched season to a close witha 1-1 draw at Portsmouth, which thankfully proved enough to retain our Championship status. The rest of May has been about recalling better years, such as the events of the 24th of May 2008 and the…

February might be short on days, but was it short on available to buy Hull City memorabilia? NOPE! Mikey Carter describes the Auction Action... 'Holy grail' is a term that's been hideously overused in recent years by collectors of everything from trainers to programmes to…
2021/22 third kit by Umbro – First impressions
Like manna from heaven, the 2021/22 third kit by Umbro has ‘dropped’. What do the HCK Kitgeeks make of it? @SombreEthyl: As much as I love the away shirt for embracing the black-out trend (and City don’t often dabble in kit trends historically), I…
Auction Action – January 2025
January always feels like a long month, but it is firmly in our rear-view mirror now, meaning we can cast our eyes over what City branded cotton and polyester goodness was available and sold under the virtual hammer in the first month of 2025... (writes Mike Carter)…
