As a football fan that kit is awesome, If my own club (AFC Keynsham) were to ofer this up we would be made up. But as a Bristol City fan I would share your disappointment if the kit men came up with a blue and white kit for us. Its very nice, but surly the decision makers know that this sort of thing is a little controversial. With the entire spectrum of colours available why do they always pick something daft.
It's a very nice shirt. There was a mock up made of it for a united shirt on our forum and it was amazing. I just don't see why they didn't replace the blue with red and make it sit well with the fans.
So... Can we laugh at ourselves? (sent to me by an Everton fan...) Hope the link works: http://www.thenewsgrind.com/news/uk..._campaign=Feed: TheNewsGrind (The News Grind) GKRK
So was Shanks wrong to change the club colours to red? I believe Utd were already playing in red at the time. Go on, badmouth Shanks, you primary-coloured bigot, you.
Liverpool’s today released a new third strip which features no blue whatsoever. The bright pink kit with orange flowered shorts, sporting a cerise trim will retail at £45.99. that bit got me
How dare you call me primary-coloured? I'll have you know I'm of a delightful tertiary persuasion consisting of 65% yellow, 38% magenta and a mere 10% cyan. I'll go with the bigot bit though.
Also, your colourist calumny briefly blinded me to the inaccuracy of your comment. Liverpool have been red and white since the 19th century as far as I'm aware. The inviolable Shanks merely changed the strip to all red.
