    Is that they aren't happy with just putting their logo on the front. The insist on spoiling the sleeves too.

    The new sheff utd shirt for example looks quite nice to be honest. Really classy and old school with just thin pinstripes on it. Except the sleeves which have giant adidas stripes down them ruining the look.

    Sheff Utd's is a nice shirt but I'm not sure I'd be happy with it if I were a Blunt. Very far removed from their traditional colours, and now even the classic badge has been changed.

    Am I missing something here, I thought the all reason behind this anniversary shirt was because its their original kit and badge. You can't get more traditional and classic then that surely?

    If I suddenly became mega rich I'd buy the blunts just so I could make them wear blue and white stripes. Oh and I would ban red and white stripes from the ground too.

    A business venture that I would be very happy to be part of. Maybe a joint ownership is something we could consider (if we both suddenly became mega rich).

    Ahhh, I didn't realise that mate. Still might have been better as a change kit. Imagine if we went back to our original shirt. Wasn't it chocolate brown with pink?!

    We've also played in blue and white stripes. Chocolate brown and pink doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

    You'll not be surprised to hear that I'd love us to have a chocolate brown and pink away kit.

    In what colour combination? I think something based on the Shaw Carpets stars design with a pink body and brown stars on the nipples would be brill. We'd look a bit like a team of burlesque cabaret dancers.

    Considering the 3 stripes are one of adidas' core brand assets, you cant really blame them. Adidas Samba, World Cups, and Puma Kings wouldn't quite have been the same without the stripes.

    Brown with pink trim or something like the rayo shirt, brown with pink sash. It's a classic colour combination.

    To be fair, that could actually look pretty cool if done properly. Brown kits are quite dangerous territory though, as Coventry fans will testify.

    A part of our history best forgotten.
