150th Anniversary kit/celebrations

They could do a lot worse than issue a communication saying next season it’s two kits only & instead of a third shirt, have a really great walkout/anthem jacket on sale in home & away colours. 

Folks who don’t buy shirts then have something to buy, folks who do can buy a jacket as well…

Was certainly surprised at Middlesbrough that we were in the gold away kit, think we always wear blue and white up there.

In fact, have we worn our famous blue and white halves away from home at all this season?

Sorry, not read through the early posts here but could anyone give me a link to evidence that the shirt with the maltese cross formed part of our very earliest history?

I can see reports of it being 'proposed' at a meeting but no visual evidence and no primary source.

Not once, can’t say I’ve ever remembered that before half way through the season.

Though I suppose considering even the 150th shirt isn’t even the iconic blue and white, then it figures as this regime have absolutely no feel or interest for this grand old club and it’s heritage.

The 150th could have been such a great season of celebration, brilliant items that could be sold in the Roverstore & a slam dunk for the commercial department. 
 

I went into the shop on Dec 23rd (the only Monday it was open all year - another commercial faux pas) and was astounded how poor most of the non kit items are. A lot of pound shop style tat items with Rovers badges slapped on and a hefty mark up. It all feels a bit shit and a bit half arsed and sums up the club and this 151st anniversary to a tee. Grubby, late to the party, half arsed, no thought or strategy and sure as shit no pride

Please stop with sensible ideas, it’ll only confuse them.
