Salford Red Devils will launch our 2018 away shirt tomorrow (Friday 8th December) at 8am and in the lead-up weโll be looking at some old away and alternative kits.
Today weโll be taking a look at those times down the years that Salford donned a green away kit and how those seasons panned out.
The green away kit hasnโt been as common as the colours weโve previously previewed โ black, white and blue โ but it has featured on a few occasions.
Our 2012 away kit, sponsored by MediaCity, was a light green and it brought some solid performances on the road from Salford who won three of their eight Super League victories away from home while running some teams very close.
The other memorable green away strip Salford have worn came back in the 1992-93 season which was a darker green featuring a white pattern on the front, back and sleeves sponsored by ESAB.
But, unfortunately it was a difficult season for the Red Devils who ended the season 13th in the top flight finishing above only Hull Kingston Rovers by four points.
While the green kit hasnโt been as frequent as other colours throughout Salfordโs history it could still make an appearance as the predominant colour in 2018, do you think it will?

Salford in blue – A look back
Ahead of the launch of our 2018 away kit weโre looking through some memorable away kits of yesteryear and today weโre focusing on Salford in blue.
The 2001 Willows Centenary away shirt was a dark blue and the Club secured Super League status for another season in 2001. Salford racked up four away victories in 2001 with victories over Warrington, Castleford, Huddersfield and London which, in the end, were pivotal as the Red Devils avoided the drop by three points.
Salfordโs previous away kit in 2000 was also dark blue and again warranted a solid Super League finish for the Red Devils. Salford finished 9th winning 10 of their 28 Super League games with three coming away from home โ A double over London before a victory at The Shay against Halifax.
A light blue away shirt was the theme for the 1998 season but unfortunately it didnโt bring much success away from The Willows with Salford finishing 11th however they were nine points above basement Club Huddersfield whom they beat away from home in August 1998.
Salford donned an electric blue kit throughout the 1989-1990 season which also featured black, white and red Vโs across the chest. However, it brought minimal success on the sides travels that season with Salford winning three away games at Barrow, Featherstone and Hull in the first round of the Regal Trophy.
Could we see Salford wearing a predominantly blue away kit in 2018?

Salford in black – A look back
Ahead of the launch of our 2018 away kit weโre looking through some memorable away kits of yesteryear and today weโre focusing on Salford in black.
Last season the Red Devils donned a predominantly black away kit and it was worn with pride in the Clubโs first Challenge Cup semi-final for twenty years. Despite losing to Wigan at the Halliwell Jones Stadium Ian Watsonโs men wore the black strip in victory over the Warriors in Super League; their first win at Wigan since 1997.
The 2010 away jersey was black with a hint of pink and was a big hit amongst Salford fans. Sponsored by the Trafford Centre the kit saw Salford finish 12th above both Harlequins and Catalans Dragons.
Black was also worn on Salfordโs travels back in 2008 as the Club won the Championship title and their Grand Final showdown with the Celtic Crusaders. Subsequently both sides were awarded Super League status via the newly implemented licensing system.
The mid-1990โs saw Salford in black and yellow on the road. Despite winning one third of their games that season the Red Devils suffered relegation in black and yellow as six teams suffered the drop in preparation for the formation of Super League.
Black and yellow was also the theme the season prior and again the Red Devils had a very similar record in the league sealing top flight Rugby League for another season. Both black and yellow kits were sponsored by Cebora.
Could we see Salford wearing a black away kit in 2018?

2018 home kit is an instant hit with supporters
Salfordโs 2018 home kit has been an instant hit with Red Devils supporters who took to social media to express their delight at the kit release.
The kit is a reboot of the home jersey worn by Salford between 1986-1988, a period in which current CEO Ian Blease played, and the fans like the trip down memory lane.
Again, the Red Devils have gone for a red kit but the reintroduction of #FourStripes across the front and on the shoulders has pleased fans. #FourStripes can also be seen on the socks while the new Club crest takes pride of place on the shirt.

An update from Salford Red Devils CEO Ian Blease
After a busy few weeks Salford Red Devils CEO Ian Blease gives us an update on the latest ongoings at the Club ahead of the 2018 season.
Salford Red Devils CEO, Ian Blease, said: โWeโve had a lot of positive news coming out of the Club over the past two to three weeks and we fully expect this continue past Christmas and into the 2018 Super League season.
โSeason Ticket sales have still been steadily increasing even since the early bird period came to an end and Iโm delighted to say that we have currently sold more Season Tickets than at the same stage last season.
โOf course, we know this is far from job done and we will continue to look for new Season Ticket holders to grow this number before we take on Wigan on the February 2nd.
โWe released our 2018 home kit yesterday and the response from our fans has been nothing short of exceptional with the vast majority of our supporters loving the design.
โIโm also particularly fond of the kit as itโs a reboot of one that I proudly wore in the 1980โs. The amazing reaction yesterday has coincided with some very promising early pre-orders for our 2018 home shirt and we are expecting this to continue.
โExciting developments are being made with sponsorship deals with all of our major partners staying with us into the 2018 season. We have also improved our match-by-match sponsorship packages which we are sure are going to be a hit with the corporate sector.
โTo matters on the field and the lads have been back in training for two weeks now and are looking very sharp โ Iโm hearing great things from Coach Watson.
โOur new signings have settled in brilliantly and the competition for places this season is going to be brilliant. I already canโt wait to watch the lads back on the field on January 14th when we face local rivals Swinton with ticket details for that game due to be released soon.
โIn the coming weeks, we will have more news including an event for fans, another signing, another friendly, the launch of our away kit and more importantly some news on the Board of Trustees which I know fans are waiting to hear.
โThe Club is in a good position at the moment with people working hard in every department. Iโd like to thank the fans for their patience and for spending their hard-earned money on season tickets and our range of clothing produced by Steeden.”
