The ones in the box come in 4 sizes, is that 125 of each size? 500 of each size? Made to order (cant see that)?

The advert states only 500 in total, so interested how this stacks. Obviously the intention is you don't wear it i guess as 3XL not an option lol.

Now for the extra £120.

You get a label tag

A box, (please tell me its not cardboard or similar)

Is the material better or badge sewn/embroidered, or is it the same shirt and £115 of the £120 is its personally folded by Suhail?

Struggling to understand the big price jump if its the same product but with s tag

So even the Club's own advertising shows us in blue and white halves back in the day?

Haven't caught up with this thread yet but am I right in thinking they've taken a limited amount of these fictional monstrosities off general sale, stuck them in a box and added another £110 to the price in an attempt to make them sound desirable or exclusive?

That's about right.

You'll be first in line chaddy!

This shirt sums up the stupid business decisions made by the idiots allegedly running the club. They should, in my opinion, be nowhere near a Championship level football club. 

I’d happily start again in the National League tomorrow in exchange for the whole lot of them f*cking off with immediate effect. Parasites.

No-one with a logical and fully functioning brain.

Think of a Rovers shirt, think blue and white halves.

Why did it have to be anything different to that?

I would if it were actually a 150th anniversary shirt, instead of that pish.

Or actually, I wouldn’t because they’re not available to me. I’ve been deemed not worthy as a fan because STs are too expensive for me.

I’m ‘less than’ in the club’s eyes.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I’ve rewritten this message several times because I’m genuinely stunned by how disastrously the club has handled the 150th anniversary. 

Those responsible, whether it’s the owners, senior leadership, marketing or anyone else, should be embarrassed.

This should have been the year we proudly showcased the club’s remarkable history to the world. Instead, they’ve turned what should have been a landmark celebration into a complete farce. The club’s story, the anniversary match, the commemorative shirt - every part of it has been mishandled. The only people who came out of it with any credit were the former players, who at least gave the fans something to enjoy on a miserable day, and you can bet the likes of Bentley, Hendry etc did it purely for the supporters, who deserve far better.

As for the shirt? I won’t be buying it, and even if I wanted to, the club has decided I’m not eligible anyway - despite being a fan for 33 years. It’s unbelievable. Any other club would have released it at the start of the season, worn it for the anniversary match, and made the most of the 150th year with merchandise throughout the season, especially at Christmas.

Our club? They just don’t get it and they never will no matter how hard they try and convince us.

 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I'll say it again and again..this current horrible manifestation of Rovers bares zero resemblance to the proud of its roots,humble and honest,supporter friendly Club I grew up with and loved supporting.

Bloody Dingles couldn't have done a better job on us.

[Upside Down]

So to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Blackburn Rovers they have decided to do a photoshoot at QEGS with the team wearing a Preston North End kit over a month after the actual official anniversary. 

To call these people thick is disrespectful to thick people.

the first Rovers shirt was that. People have previously explained all this. 

Yes Rovers is Blue and white shirt and that's should be the anniversary shirt. I think some people have made good suggestions that the 150th anniversary shirt should have been blue and white but with gold badge and on sale at the start of the season as someone said on here, can't remember who said it but it was good suggestion

Please don't buy, I entered the ballot for the £80 shirt. 😉

There's no proof that was ever the case. That has also been explained on here ad nauseam.

Maybe that's why they refused to sell Sheff Wednesday tickets....save people money so those disappointed fans could instead enter a ballot to try and win an £80 shirt that probably won't ever be worn by the team....method in the madness.

Wearing it on NYD apparently…

[Mike E]

To compound the embarrassment of this 150th year, the year Venkys reduced our women’s team several leagues, Keira Walsh, Ella Toone, and Georgia Stanway are decorated with MBEs.

No it isn’t. Because… oh wait, I appear to have reached the end of my argument.

So they are going to wear the 150th shirt (that will only be available to a select group of fans on the very last day of the 150th) not just long past the actual anniversary but in the 151st year.

A fitting conclusion.
