No reversed halves…😬

It was the plan (as stated by Fraser) in April 2024 for there to be 4 kits next season…

Wasted my fucking time here didn’t I? 😆

For the record… That will be popular but here’s what I’d have done… 1. Reversed halves obvs 2. ⁠scroll under the badge in gold referencing 150 years 3. ⁠Macron badge in gold or red 4. ⁠contrast cuff single band to match the collar 5. ⁠halved sleeves Other than that…😆

He's a club legend so I'll temper my language by saying I'm very disappointed he's involved with this.

Villa only had a special kit for one game. The only reference to 150 years on the normal home kit was a '150' on the back under the collar.

A retro style kit (with the sponsor's logo on) with the old badge would have been a lovely touch. Instead we get 'Halved kit style 3' from the Macron catalogue.

If they do release a different special edition shirt for the 150th, and I'm not confident this lot have the capabilities to do something like that, it just raises more questions. Why do it as a limited edition? Would it not be more befitting of the monumental occasion for the special kit to be worn all season and make it a full year of a celebration? This is what others have done who have celebrated this occasion recently, Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday. Limiting it to being work in one game, or a limited release, to me just dilutes the occasion and shortens the exposure. Knowing what we do about their approach to stocking kits, running out etc. I could see an epic fiasco unfolding if they introduced a new kit later Plus are people going to be willing/able to shell out another £60+ a time for another kit if it is only going to be worn once? If they'd have gone to town on the main kit and made it a true anniversary product and got plenty of stock in they could have made a fortune on it.

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?
