God love him. He's got a stammer which he's really worked hard on overcoming. "I would be made up if the fans sang a song about me".
Just checked the site again and they've restocked. There's a good range of stuff on there now including some very nice tshirts and sweatshirts. Good simple designs in the reddest red you'll ever see
Yank super stars on the Nike roster like Le bron James promoting our kit to millions of impressionable yank kids is the stuff I love to see tbh. Massive market there to jump on our recent bandwagon and I'm glad the club are fully taking advantage of it.
I think that was the appeal of going with Nike. Smaller manufacturers like NB make great looking merchandise but they don't have the reach that Nike and Adidas have. Is it quantity over quality ...... maybe. It's a cold, hard business world for sure.
Hopefully it brings in more money. Tbh, I won't buy the shirts anyway, £65 for a shirt is ridiculous. Not that I'd get this home shirt anyway; don't mind what colour is used, i just don't think it looks nice.
I saw a picture of the supposed home shirt and the actual one next to each other. They are identical except for the teal trim. Looking at them both I actually thought the leaked design without the teal looked a bit bare. The teal takes it up a notch. I don't think I'm easily sold to but I've definitely been sold on this teal trim. And I won't be buying one either.
Knowing your surroundings. Obviously a much MUCH lower level but I do similar when playing; already know where players are when receiving the ball. Comes from playing in 5-a-side goal years ago; looking to release the ball quickly so already looking where others are before collecting the ball.
