At least they didn't put us in Claret like Netflix did...
If they came out on Saturday in the shirt, carrying leather balls with caps on, it would probably be something different and look memorable.
My issue is this just seems a very lazy attempt, a missed opportunity for some positive PR and sales. It also looks cheap and rubbish and its rumoured to be £90. Its an open goal and they've done their usual. Even if we did play in that and I can't say either way, they could have still made it more retro looking or sell it as part of a packaged box with replicas of the minutes or something, something different.
The whole anniversary so far has felt a bit 'meh'. We're one of the few clubs in world football with a history this good and we're just coasting with this rarest of milestone years.
I don't want to hear about well for the 100th/125th we didn't do much. The world has moved on, football and its place in the world are different, look at other clubs around us, even in non-league do more.
This anniversary should have been a PR mana from heaven opportunity to restore some of the damage from the last 15 years and it all seems like an afterthought.
We've had some caps given to whoever was around presented to a few thousand in the rain. A "legends" game against a team who beat us , being played after a 1st team game and a debatable special kit that's not even on sale alongside a official book of our history that doesn't mention it!
The website promises the below for Saturday :
live entertainment, commemorative memorabilia, special guest appearances, fan activations and stirring tributes to the club’s rich past.
Its in 2 days and unless I've missed something, can anyone tell me what any of this will look like befitting of our great clubs celebration?
WTF is a fan activation? Conjures up images of Suhail whispering a codeword that triggers the Blackburn end into a ritualistic dance.
