Even better was a photo of a stall on Wembley Way when FC played Wigan selling half and half scarves. The Hull FC half was in black and amber.
Weren't the orange hats and scarves given away free to fans (left on seats at a game), due to a factory cock-up and the club getting them free, or did I just dream it?
So for a hundred years or more corporate colours have been defended to the hilt by clients and marketing agencies who got really arsey about a print half a shade out then it says how important it is , so it should be for us - we have enough trouble with ignorant pundits and commentators saying we play in gold or yellow or orange !! We don’t and if you think the fans want badly coloured stuff then I think you are wrong . Or maybe like so much in this world ‘ nothing matters anymore ‘ whilst standards drop through the floor . Sorry but it matters to me .
They're still waiting on 'certain' chip shops to perfect the batter for them. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Ermmm I didn't say we shouldn't be playing or creating merchandise in Amber. I just don't think the club is diluting our identity. Purposely or otherwise.
Without prolonging this I didn’t suggest they were doing this knowingly nor suggesting you were , but I want them to be aware the reproduction of our ‘corporate’ and long standing colours is very important and should not be negligently treat , therefore ‘otherwise’ is not acceptable , that’s all I meant . As I said if they have a decent marketeer in the building it should be his job to ensure colour reproduction is accurate - samples for example are critical . What if he’s an out of town graduate in his earlyish years at the club and hasn’t been instructed to ensure this, although his training should have . Who’s managing him ? , Sales Director or a marketing director would do this in other private industries and understand our branding and marketing mix. I was involved in marketing and print for 20 years and I know how critical this element is and the controls needed.Sorry i’m really not trying to labour the point , honestly LOL
what is our colour? amber is very ambiguous to me amber looks like dark orange, blackpool is bright orange is what it is
For those who might care ! The status quo may not be so clear. For clarity, I happen to be colour blind. https://www.geologyin.com/2023/01/amber-colors-what-are-different-colors.html
I'm not sure what you're proposing in your post. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Well he would know, Canada’s full of dodgy rocks isn’t it ? It’s not yellow nor is it orange , let’s call it the colour we’ve had for years and years! LOL . Are you happy to wear a yellow or orange City shirt or scarf - if you are then fine but us old uns aren’t - well me anyway !
As amber resin can exist in many colours, suppliers may have different perceptions/interpretations of "Can I order an amber shirt/scarf/pair of socks etc". Backing up someone else's comments about "show me some samples" first for my approval.
