Don't you think it's about time time the computer super-swizzly whizzkids on here change the banner at the top of our site? I'm a bit fed up of those old away strips and Craig Gordon is long gone. Actually, I hope we still see the back of Larsson... sell him, there are better out there! Let's have some red and white stripes with Ellis and Paolo. number 1 please log in to view this image number 2 >>
I want one with explosions, fighter jets, ninjas. And Paolo in the middle with his head superimposed over Arnies body from The Predator. ****. Yeah.
i want one from a bruce lee film with paulos face super inposed on bruces body and everybody else in the pic with scum tops on
Or that prison fight scene in Ip Man, with the 10 guards wearing scum tops, and Paolo in the middle wearing a horses head mask, fighting for his survival...
If somebody did a banner of the clubs history then it will never be out of date. Sunderland greats would be a good one.
Porterfield, Monty, Gabbiadini, Bally, The Statue of Stoko, Birds eye view of Roker. And some recent history too (Paolo sliding on his knees) cough cough.
its harder than it looks, i done the one we have now but no one else has offered or done another, (in the last 2 years), I do have photoshop on my PC again so if i can be arsed i may have a go at another. and the problem with history is they are not HD only SD so they look crap, or if you go even further back its black and white stripes, (because the pictures are black and white) and i dont think anyone would want that.
If someone thinks they can handle it, could combine history with humor in a SGT Peppers style banner, with funny things like Darren Bent with a beach ball head and Garry Bennett with his hands round Speedies throat.
Bugger the past, Steve, bring it up to date...Fletcher/Johnson/O'Shea likely to be here a while. Stokoe statue/owner/manager, too.
There is only so much real estate on the banner though, we have to make them 1900 width, but those on 1200 or even 800 width monitors never see the sides, but dont put anything on the sides and those with 1900 monitors just see a small ****y thing in the middle. you also have that stupid foreground bollocks covering the bottom half of the banner, its a pita to line everything up properly and make sure it looks ok for all monitors (thats probably impossible). like i said if i can be bothered i may have a go but 1: its bloody hard to get everything looking good and lined up properly etc etc 2: I cant please everyone, some will like it some will hate it 3: I am no professional, just had a mess on at home, and I am colour blind which doesnt bloody help.
