Love how Dyson has tweeted the sneak-peek image, exactly in the manner BFC did with the new kits. I'm assuming it's done in a funny way. If not, worra wally. And I've pre-pre-ordered one. The second reds home shirt I saw, at 7 year old.
In what way?!? It's on ere, FB and twitter?!?? Fail to see any clique in that misen?!? Unless Im missing your point somewhat.
Two points. Firstly, I will fall out with WSB for knocking £100 off the value of my original one. Secondly, having said that, the chances of me ever being able to get into a shirt I wore when I was 20 years old is very remote. Actually, that's not strictly true, I tried it on last year to see if I could get it on and I could. Getting it back off again without ripping it proved a bit more tricky though and I needed assistance.
Am I the only one who thinks that particular shirt was dreadful and shouldn't see the light of day again? Wet had some decent shirts around that period, home and away, but that one was woeful. My opinion of course. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
No, I thought it was dreadful too, so I didn't buy one. Fast forward to Christmas and opening my presents from my girlfriend and lo and behold, the hideous home shirt. "I know you always get one, but you hadn't this year, so I've got you one!"
Eventually, but I would be a bit unfair accusing my girlfriend of having bad taste when, by the very fact that she was my girlfriend, she had probably already demonstrated that.
It's become a cult shirt hasn't it? And I always remember that shirt as the first I saw us wear. It wasn't, it was the second, but I don't recall much of the 1988-89 season being just six and more interested in where I was and being among lots of other people than I was the footballers on the pitch. I suppose something clicked a year later. I'd grown used to the Brewery Stand, the plume of smoke, and could now see over the advertising hoardings. 1989-90 were the two years where football grabbed me by the little, undropped balls. I always wonder whether I'd have been as bothered had my mum not died that year. She had no interest in football, she was a professional athlete, long distance runner and kept taking me to Rockingham hoping to find summat I was good at. I think though that I escaped from the horror that was losing her at 8 years old by diving into football and everything that entailed. And, found that 'summat' I was good at. So that shirt means a lot to me, and I've never managed to find one. Fully agree it's a bit of an abomination, mind.
