Well as long as you're sticking to yer principles, thats the main thing. So you won't spend 15 quid on a really great t-shirt that is pretty much plastered with history, promotes our current full name, and looks pretty cool to boot, out of principle, but you'll still be going to all the games you can? Why? That T-Shirt represents what you want to remain, surely? Wouldn't the shop selling out of them, and lots of them being worn show how strongly people feel about the name?
Yeah, it's clearly been designed by Primark's junior designer. Except, it's £14 more expensive than normal.
The Doctor is a genius as well as a hero. If you're going to wind up the natives you might as well make a few quid by selling them the t-shirts to protest in. Next week he'll threaten to put SB on gardening duty, only to bring out a range of 'Save Our Brucey' bandanas.
We are currently Hull City afc. The football club I support. Hull City afc is the property of Hull City Tigers Limited a business that I have no interest in according to Assem Allam. I will buy tickets to watch Hull City afc from Hull City Tigers Limited just as I would buy a concert ticket from a promoter. I don't have to buy anything else from the promoter to support the band and so it is with City. If the t-shirt was rubbish there would be no sacrifice involved in not buying it. It is a great t-shirt, I would have bought one, two or maybe even three, in normal circumstances, but with the announcement about Hull Tigers we don't live in normal circumstances. If the t-shirt sells out, so what? I haven't asked anybody else to boycott buying items from the club. Expanding on an argument used by a certain Mr Wright on the CI board, its not a question of selling out the stock in the shop, its a question of now many more we would have sold with proper marketing, an enthusiastic fan base promoting the club and spreading the word about the mighty Tigers. We have a fantastic t-shirt but a divided Tiger Nation, not an ideal situation is it?
Ta for the response Obi, not sure I see the distinction between paying more money to see the team, most likely buying a pie and/or pint than buying a tshirt but we at least agree its a good tshirt. I just figured as some have been calling for a visible sign of support for Hull City AFC, it looked like it was being handed to you.
Two pints and a pie(or bag of sweets, depending on whether I had fish and chips before I went) and junior gets a fiver.
Because we have a very limited range of market stall tat, we don't even fare well against many Championship club shops, never mind Premier League ones.
Talking of City gear, i saw an old 88-90 (i think it said on the label) training jacket in the window of Chinese Laundry this morning.
