150th Anniversary kit/celebrations

[Vinjay]

Surprised they haven't made up a sponsor. "Ye Olde Totally Wickede vape".

Absolute fucking idiots

Its sheer utter stupidity and infront of a Nationwide audience.

Dont tell me this isn't being done to wind our Supporters up,as petty as it may appear to some I'm fuming.

Or people collect Rovers memorabilia? 

Or people who buy the shirt and get it all signed by players then picture frame it? 

Why would anyone ruin a collectors item by getting the current crop to sign it? Half of them would probably miss anyway

Must admit that I've bought the shirt as a souvenir of the 150th Anniversary season.   Personally, I look upon the whole season as part of the Anniversary but, at the end of the day, everyone sees things differently.

There is no proof the white shirt was ever worn.

Some minutes have been uncovered in rececent times stating an apparent intention to wear a white kit at first but there's no evidence this actually was what happened.

We were definitely in a blue and white halved kit by 1878 so we dont know if a white kit was worn for a week a month or a season or two or not at all.

That's the joy and romance of history Rev.  But I'm more than happy to add it to my Rovers collection, along with the minutes you mention, the first match report and the biographies of those early players.  At the end of the day Rev, we do what makes us happy.

Trust you've have a good Christmas Rev, and I wish you and your family a happy New Year.

cynical attemp to advertise the shirt by having us playing in it,the fact is  it`s £70  or  £200 in a box and won`t likely sell🙂would be laugh if the shirt quality is abysmal and they start to rip as the match progresses,the way we operate it could well happen😁

Thank you Parson, same to you and yours.

Parsonblue,may I ask you a question please...did you consult with the Club over this fictitious all white first Shirt and was it done with your recommendation by any chance?

You would be trusted as the first port of call being Club Historian no doubt.

Tempted to buy it and get the players to sign it then picture framed it and hang it on the Rovers wall in my house.

"The shirt we never actually wore"

I hope that the appearance of the shirt is greeted with a loud rendition of 'What the frickin hell is that?'.

It is NOT a Rovers shirt.

100%.

Don't know if this game is on the red button or not but if it is I think I'll be participating in a TV boycott.

Might as well send us out in a Burnley home strip.

Regardless of these other recently unearthed (and ambiguous) sources Parsons has alluded to, I’m telling you now if that random historical kits website didn’t show a white shirt first in the list of Rovers shirts we wouldn’t be wearing one on NYD.

At least if these things are uncomfortable for the players to wear, Ismael will have another ready made excuse to add to the list.

Will they be in matching caps and long trousers as well?
