So in what is supposedly the 150th year of the club (it isn't, it's the 15th) we are not playing in our traditional colours.

The halves aren't even reversed. It's another shit Macron kit off the rack. Awful. They continue to spit in our face.

I think in a major tournament, the further you get the better you expect the opposition to be. So we were unlucky in the same way that you’d be unlucky to walk down a back alley and not find a tenner on the ground.

I like the kit, just not as a 150th anniversary kit, in that respect, its pretty terrible.

To be fair we've been practicing that for a while - a local vape company and a local solicitor firm are hardly going to pay much.

Probably more likely that they have a special one off retro shirt to be used in one game as they did for the 125th. I don't think it was ever on the cards to have a shirt like that for the entire season.

I like the kit in all honest. Theres bigger issues to be moaning at so I won't be loosing much sleep over it.

As Rovers shirts go it's fine. There is nothing wrong with it...there have been far, far worse home shirts. It's perhaps not a particularly special design for the 150th year is all.

I was really excited for this kit, a chance to do something exciting, a real throwback and something unique and standout in the league If this is the actual kit, this is absolutely gash and says everything about the state of the club and the current regimes lack of connection with the fans, lack of understanding or pride in the history, lack of nouse from the commercial department. A real retro kit, old logo, no or very small sponsor and I bet they would fly out the roverstore

Yeah well, were we unlucky to have played Italy, rather than a team we would have beaten ?

The fans have their pitchforks out... Fine wheel out Alan....

Yep, of course the 150th will have just as much effort put in it as the 125th, I mean, what’s changed?

Atleast Mr Shearer was on the advert

Im not basing it on whether they won or lost. Im basing it on the standard of opposition.

If that’s it just fuck off, no investment, no connection, no pride, no communication, no nothing. Wasters, liars, and chancers. Will hate them forever.

I assume there will be a special kit for the Anniversary game - as there was for the 125th Anniversary. I must admit that I like the look of this kit as it's far more traditional than what we usually get. Love the traditional blue & white v neck. Not as good as the early 60's shirt but looks pretty good to me.

England could have beaten a different team in the euro final, Italys route had nothing to do with England, so were England unlucky to have played Italy?

No women players on the launch this year?

That shirt sums up the total lack of progress made under Venkys

I can only assume there will be a one off kit released later in the year to celebrate the anniversary, and everything that everyone wants for a home shirt, will be used for that. It must be a club decision as Macron are usually one of the best kit makers when it comes to designs for anniversary kits.

I dont see why that makes such a difference, specific to England. England's opposition was not something they could control, so it was luck. And besides, both ways are determined by results.

That's what they came up with? They're doing a special pre kit reveal for that? Guess the survey they did was a waste of time. It's okay, just not a 150 year anniversary special.

Even for venky fc that is absolutely ridiculously shit.

Underwhelming think I'll stick with my current shirt.

Rovers recently lost a supporter of nigh on 70 years, a dear friend, who has watched Rovers through thick and thin. Overnight journeys to the south following Rovers in the days of arduous rail travel. Long road trips, ever optimistic of a result, camaraderie, lifelong friendships, forged through pride in a club that knew its place. The halcyon days of Jack Walker, living a dream, yet always remembering the days of less fortuitous times. European adventures good and bad, winning at Wembley, semi-final heartaches. Hopes of revival after relegation, and then the realisation of the reality, of football owners purchasing a club, not understanding the weight of moral responsibility, a plaything that has now been discarded and left to it's own devices. We will carry on this responsibility, as my generation ,our children. grand- children will in turn wait to see a return to owners that value the responsibility that ownership of the Rovers deserves. Shame on you Venky's.
