150th Anniversary kit/celebrations

[Mattyblue]

£90 😬

[RevidgeBlue]

The blue and white one above is surely a hoax but it's an absolute joke that there seems to be no sign of an official commemorative shirt from the Club.

Should have put some effort into a nice badge for the home shirt to be worn all season and there wouldnt have been this messing.

No offence, and I know that's not you producing it but £90 and I wouldnt wear that in bed.

I know where you can get a high quality garment for £63 inc P&P...😁

Athletic Bilbao does a better Rovers commemorative shirt than Rovers...

Blackburn Long Sleeve Retro 150th Anniversary Edition Shirt

Celebrate a milestone in English football history with this stunning 150th Anniversary Edition shirt from Blackburn Rovers. This exclusive long sleeve retro home shirt pays homage to one of the game's most storied clubs, marking an extraordinary century and a half of passion, pride, and tradition at Ewood Park.

A Tribute to Heritage

This commemorative shirt beautifully captures the essence of Rovers' illustrious past whilst embracing modern performance standards. The classic design features the iconic blue and white halved shirt that has become synonymous with Blackburn's rich heritage, evoking memories of legendary players and historic triumphs, including the club's remarkable Premier League title victory in 1995.

Really?

I assumed it was a generic offering from Old England shirts or whatever they are called.

£90 for a football shirt 🤣.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

The fact that there's no real evidence we ever played in white shirts apart, it wouldn't be so bad if it was a genuinely nice shirt like Herbie's 50's and 60's shirts. 

If it's the white shirt shown on here it looks like something generic Sports Direct would knock out for a fiver 

[JHRover]

Looks pretty dismal but lets be honest it was always going to with this lot.

I'm pleasantly surprised they've made the effort to do anything whatsoever.

Not sure how strutting around in all white celebrates 150 years of Blackburn Rovers but hey.

Was about to post the same. Bill Fox once said, at a shareholders annual meeting, that there is evidence to show that Rovers home shirt has never been anything other than blue and white quarters.

Sadly the quarters bit no longer applies

It seems clear anyway from that picture taken at Alexandra Meadows in 1878 that we've been playing in blue and white halves since at least then if not before.

So for at least 147 years of our 150 year history we've played in blue and white halves. 

And what do we get for our anniversary shirt? A plain white one with no relevance to the Club whatsoever.

At this point they must be doing it deliberately to antagonise the fan base.

Well @Herbie6590...

You know what to do.... 

My basket is empty...

£97 with delivery, if it's it, piss take as usual.

[Upside Down]

Probably best that they change the colours to ones we've never played in.

The blue and white is the only thing that even resembles Blackburn Rovers anymore so they might as well get rid of that then there can be no more confusion between Blackburn Rovers and venky FC.

Well I'm not buying it. As much as I love BRFC I cant bring myself to buy it. 

If we had different owners I'd throw my money at it and buy it 'just because'.

This lot can swivel on a fat one

Surely that's not real

Allegedly the blue and white one with the "150 years" on the front is unsurprisingly fake but the white thing with the over-sized Maltese Cross is the actual thing.

If it is, will the team be wearing it on Saturday?

Wow, that's awful. Genuinely awful. Better to not do anything. Must be the worst anniversary shirt ever produced by anyone.

[roversfan99]

Id love to know how many sales are made at £90 a pop.

Anyone that gets it has more money than sense.

[wilsdenrover]

Perhaps the club are leaking really shit fakes so the actual one doesn’t then seem as shit as it otherwise would’ve.

You're assuming they have the brain power to do such a thing.

[Mattyblue]

Only Venky FC would do a commemorative Blackburn Rovers shirt with no blue and white halves (or quarters, take your pick).

Laughable and tragic at the same time, so a fitting microcosm of the last fifteen years.
