[Oldgregg86]

I love that. Might buy that instead of the home shirt

Keeper top. Any chance this was mistaken for the away kit given the description we've had.

Thought exactly the same..all yellow is alt keeper kit as well 😆

Don't like the home shirt.

The halves not being reversed is really shit. Its yet another simple easy thing that this club fails to get right.

[BankEnd Rover]

I must admit, the home shirt is growing on me, because at first I really didn’t like it….

[Mattyblue]

You can’t see the odd ‘Cambridge blue’ bit of collar when they are on the pitch, so all good.

For those who thought/think our shirts went on sale too late, Chelsea won't have any for sale until mid August.

MPs criticise Blackburn Rovers vaping sponsorship deal

Don't disagree with them but they could easily put legislation in place to stop it. And we can go over the same arguments about advertising for gambling, alcohol etc etc

Good

Maybe that will make our used car salesman think again. Bad press is never good. It really has spoken for the character of the man. A soulless money grabber who doesn’t give a damn about the reputation of the club at all 

I find it a crying shame. I think the Macron kits have been the best we’ve had in a while and they have been ruined with that shite logo

Accrington are once against giving every Year 3 kid in Hyndburn a new Stanley shirt. It is the seventh year of doing this and they expect to give around 8400 away.

Hyndburn has been a Rovers stronghold since time immemorial, but with Stanley now a perennial league outfit (plus being a far more proactive club than this one) and the Dingles spending a lot of time in the Premier League, I’d be interested in the views of residents to how our support is holding up there?

I don't know why Rovers don't do similar tbh and with Hyndburn, Ribble Valley and etc which have Rovers fans within those areas

Well, of course, they would do.

I'm so glad they've been called out for it.

Waggott clearly has no moral compass.

It's so obviously inappropriate for any sports club to be seen endorsing a nicotine based product.

It will be forgotten about next summer when the club changes its front of shirt sponsor.

Funny... We've had this sponsor for our training-wear for several years, and front of shirt sponsor this year. Why are these MPs only just getting around to criticising it? I feel like it's yet another bunch of MPs wanting to be seen to be moral.

As alex I said, if they wanted to do something about it they would. 

With all the hand wringing about nicotine, you'd think they'd just ban it. But once again we see no action taken. 

Strange how it didn't take them long to ban MDMA and other such substances. 

[Mattyblue]

Why more of a fuss now? I’d say largely because of all the stories emerging from schools re those ‘elf bars’ and the like over the past few months.

What on earth is an elf bar?

[Mattyblue]

Garishly colourful vapes quite obviously aimed at kids through ‘influencers’ on TikTok and the like - ergo now absolutely rife in schools.

Because of increasing evidence it is harming kids. They have a moral duty to speak out.

I'm more interested in the moral duty to do something. Everybody "speaks out". It's easy. The hard part is doing something, which most can't be bothered with.

You asked why they have becoming increasingly vocal. 

Agreed on your follow-up point, they'll do frig all unless it benefits them. 

[Upside Down]

They won't do anything at all. It would hurt the wallets of their friends in the tobacco industry.
