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

I'm not sure who's anniversary it's supposed to be for. Doesn't look like any Rovers shirt ever.

WTF is the obsession with the Maltese cross anyway? Yes, a few players wore it as an homage to the schools they went to but it wasn't our club crest. 

More players have worn the England badge on their shirts, does that mean that's our badge as well?

Pathetic lazy shit as expected.

I can't recommend one of these enough. 

Genuinely the best Rovers shirt I've ever had.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Its almost as if these goons in charge are trying to re-write our History.

I could have excepted this Maltese Cross on the Blue n White quaters...our only true colours synonymous with our Clubs long history and name.

Should have been free with a season ticket---reward the fans.

[JHRover]

We shouldn't be 4 days away from the biggest anniversary event in the club's history not knowing anything about the 'special' kit we will apparently be wearing, other than it appears to have been leaked on a third party website at an astronomical asking price.

Once again delay and lateness on the part of Rovers ends up just making them look amateur. 

The club shop shouldn't be closed today - we have a game tomorrow night and said anniversary fixture at the end of the week. People who enjoyed watching the win at Leicester might have got the bug and wanted to go down and buy things.

The doors should be open selling tickets and merchandise ahead of the occasion.

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

Anyone that gets it has more money than sense.

They will made plenty cos fans will buy it. 

Instead of slagging people for wanting to buy Rovers shirt and be proud to wear them. 

I take you haven't bought a Rovers shirt for many of years?

I havent, no. But the point is that £90 is an absolutely ridiculous price if its true.

That's your opinion. Plenty will buy it cos its Rovers 150th anniversary shirt. Price won't be factor

What is your definition of ‘plenty’? At £90 it will do well to sell 100. 
We only sell about 5k season tickets at about 3x that price.

You live in La-La land

[Bronzed A Donis]

A fool and his money are easily parted.

It looks cheap and poor quality (if that is it)

[JHRover]

You're assuming Rovers are going to secure a large quantity of stock and then sell them at a reasonable price in the shop.

Neither are guaranteed with this lot.

Quite capable of only ordering a couple of boxes from Macron and running out straight away, or only making them available to players on the day.

I wouldn't put anything past them.

If they were interested in making cash out of this you'd expect a bit more than radio silence 4 days before the big day.

Will you be buying one then?

It's not clear at all that the white kit is official.  It does seem to feature the Marcon and Rovers' logos, but in the blurb it says: (bold added)

"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."

That's the only straw Im  clutching on to. The white one shown did appear to have official Rovers branding on it though on the label and at the bottom if you zoomed in.

[JHRover]

I think there is going to be a 'range' of stuff so I suppose this could be something else from the selection rather than the match worn shirt itself.

I know its my opinion.

Whereas yours is seemingly that £90 for a football shirt is reasonable.

Its supposed to be a 150 years anniversary not another excuse for the Club to scam a few quid off the supporters.

That's not a Rovers shirt though.

It may be a football shirt but it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with this club.

Where? I'm sure I've seen links for it before but I'm not on here often. It looks much nicer than anything the club has done in recent memory, and I don't pay money to Venkys as a point of principle anyway.

I bought the 60s halved sleeve one for my dad when you did that and it was really nice.

 

And while I'm here, if that all white thing is the actual anniversary shirt, which it can't be surely, it's so bad it's almost funny. Being a proper football fan is about identity. We have one of the most identifiable kits in world football, so to celebrate also being one of the oldest and most historically significant, let's wear a plain white tee with an almost entirely irrelevant cross on it? Hilarious. They'll sell twelve.

Yes. Its our 150th anniversary shirt. Bought all the others this season

Its anniversary season. I paid more for Lakers shirt

[Mike E]

To top it all off, I’m not convinced that’s a bona fide Maltese Cross.

It looks like someone’s used the Macron logo and added 3 more at perpendicular angles on MS Paint.

I really can't see that all white shirt as being a 150th anniversary shirt. Someone's trying to wind you all up. And it's working!
