Which is why your angry man yells at clouds routine of slamming "unnecessary criticism" and endless thumbs down was totally unwarranted and misplaced. 

Angry man? what? no one has got angry over your posts or response and there is far more important things and subjects to get angry about then over your posts or responses on here

Thought they had shelved the 5:00pm show?

Hope they’ve ordered enough.

They will have, won’t they…

It’s a nice shirt. And in any other year would have zero complaints minus the inability to remember our halves should be reversed on the back.

However, I can’t be alone in thinking they had built this up to be a special shirt to celebrate 150 years. I was expecting this to be very different, just like the beautiful Port Vale strip this year.

Yes, they will clearly release a special anniversary shirt at some point and the team will use it for one game but it should have been our shirt for the entire season. 

150 years is a hell of a milestone to reach.

Overall decent shirt, disappointed the only thing special about it is in the collar at the back of the neck.

A real missed opportunity.

And the rose stem running through the shirt

It was really simple to buy them actually. I queued outside for twenty minutes for the 5 o'clock slot and once inside it was explained that there is a rack for trying shirts on but otherwise it was a short wait to buy them from the four staff manning the tills. As I went out at 5.15 there was quite a bottleneck so I don't know how that will effect later slots.

If each time slot is as busy they will shift a lot today.

How do they size up compared to last year?

I didn't buy one for myself but my granddaughter got the same size as last season. She actually had last season's with her and it was exactly the same.

[London blue]

Some credit is due for having them for sale much earlier this year.

The shirt is nice enough, looks pretty smart to me.

I was expecting something a little more radical, guess I'll wait to see how much imagination they have later in the year.

Clearly a large number of supporters would disagree with you looking at the photograph outside the Jack Walker Stand tonight.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Any plan for a Special 150th publication Parsonblue?

[DuffsLeftPeg]

Went at 6pm.

No queues, straight in & the staff were very helpful. The kit is lovely, I prefer it to last seasons rip off of the ‘95 kit.

Fingers crossed for a special edition one off shirt for the actual anniversary but no complaints from me on this one - the colour of blue spot on ⚪️🌹🔵

Seems like it’s a crowd pleaser, the beauty of our kit is it’s hard to actually mess it up although we’ve managed it a few times in the past.

I wonder what the worst selling kit of recent times has been, the light blue Zebra one wasn’t great but different enough to appeal to some I bet 

edit my least favourite of recent years was 2 years ago with the weird light blue collar and totally shit sponsor

I'm a 2XL from last season and the new one is same 

[chaddyrovers]

Got there about 5.45pm and straight in, no waiting, very simple process to buy one, 5 minutes in the queue and got the home shirt today. Fits well on me. Not over busy when I went buts seem plenty of fans turned up

 

Bar open for anyone who wanted a drink. Good move. 

Staff very helpful. Yasir Sufi was there engaging and talking to fans. 

Shame yesterday leak spoilt it But pleased Rovers did such an event like this

Meh. It's a Rovers kit. I've seen better and seen worse.

As the official formation date of Blackburn Rovers is 5th November, the club could redeem itself here by requesting to play in the home game closest to that date in a different shirt which has a proper retro feel. Then putting it on sale in the run up to Christmas as a limited edition (i.e no re-stock)

But that would cost additional money on the shirt and be a risk on the stock, so unlikely. Although Yasir is probably scribbling notes as he reads this.

 

They'll order 1,000 to be on the safe side, all S or 5XL

[barry_]

imo the shirt as a important '150 years' celebration is... disappointing. 

 

Hopefully, the away kit will be better.

They had the Lancashire rose in last seasons kit. Downgraded to a stem.

Hopefully Sufi got some stick from fans. A man who shouldnt be in his position and seemingly played a big part in the shocking season ticket prices, notably the hike.

The only way they can ever redeem themselves is by putting up the For Sale sign.

Some people on X, @glen9mullan included, getting damaged shirts.

Not a good start.

why shouldn't he in that position? 

Maybe you should have attend then to give him some stick as you called it? 

Seen Fans engaging and talking to him when I was there for 25 mins or so
