Just predict those who are happy to ditch the stripes will no doubt do a 360 when the club reintroduces them and sing along to the "heritage" song.
It's interesting because I am not sure what you mean by doing a 360. I brought last season's kit and I'll buy this seasons as long as it is not IMO grotesque, whether it is stripes or not. I do that because I like to wear the shirt on match days, also knowing that I am contributing my small part by parting with my cash and I accept that by them changing the kit regularly I will spend more money (as long as I can afford to). That has nothing to do with whether I prefer stripes or not.
I have nothing against this stance at all, its admirable infact. Buy for me supporting the club is just a way I feel personally, not about throwing cash at them, for horrible pollyester shirts or season tickets. I still consider myself a fan even I'd I do only see a handfull of games a year, hardly ever buy a shirt and I don't even live in the city. I don't need to justify this to myself, football is a money grabing business now; not my fault. I would love a season ticket, but it costs too much. I would lo
ve the new shirt, but it costs too much and It's (probably going to be) horrible.
