Some people obviously do like it, social media says as much. But some people DO buy anything with a Rovers badge on it, I’ve spent years on a coach to aways with a load of such fans, great fans they are too, but taste doesn’t come into it... I bet you can work out the group in question, by the way.

Oh and Swansea was last game of the season, when the shirts had been reduced to £15... so go figure.

I see what you mean but we didn't start as a club in the 70s the same way football didn't start in the 90s, it's just me..... I see red and I see red.... lol I hate utd and liverpool so hate us having any red at all lol 

I think 45+ years is a decent amount of time to be a tradition, but it’s not every season anyway, so fair enough to me.

I dont want to start beef ( as the kids say ) as I'm just having a wee talk about kits with my coffee in bed but I found this 

So no beef. A staple (though not every season) since the 70s.

As I’ve said, not every season, but it obviously has been part of the shirt standard palette for decades, I.e since the 70s.

Eh? Did I say nobody actually likes it? I was actually talking about kits generally and about last season’s very plain shirt,  If you do like this season’s effort, good for you, all money for the club. I’m assuming you don’t as you were hoping it was fake yesterday.

However, In MY OPINION (you know that everyone is free to have on here, glad to see someone is known for banging that particular drum after a summer of posters telling people what they can and can’t post), plenty of fans will buy anything with a Rovers badge on it, not sure why that’s controversial, I and I bet you know a fair few of such folk.

Well obviously not every kit, last season didn’t either. But it’s a staple of a Rovers home shirt.

I really do commend you for all your efforts sir and it must have taken time but .... I really struggle to see why so many fans want as much RED!! We are not man United we are not liverpool we are blackburn rovers....... I would have liked our home kit in negative for an away strip or yes go with the half thing. But why red.................. sorry but I hate red did you pick up on that...... 

A red trim has been part of the Rovers home shirt for decades. 

I thought last season’s yellow was plain and cheap looking, like something a team up Pleasy would wear, yet looking round Ewood against Swansea I could see loads of folk with it on.

As long as there is a Rovers badge on it, a sizeable number of fans are simply ‘take my money!’

To be fair they could have launched a bin bag with arm holes and it would’ve been 50/50 on that group.

Careful now... kick one Darrener and they all limp 

City pay thousands a week to scholars, so that means little.

Weren't they both working class teams?

If it is about Suter, Rovers did pretty much 'poach' him so there's an element of conflict there. Darwen were meant to be paying him, which wasn't allowes yet. Rovers overtook Darwen, who were briefly reckoned a better side, and the area probably wasn't big enough for both clubs to flourish. Plenty of room for drama and some villains within both clubs without either club being villified entirely. He played for both so with him being the protagonist I don't expect either club to be slammed. If one is, it'll probably be Darwen, as the protagonist finished playing for Rovers.

We will see. Let's not get a persecution complex though, this is a good thing. Looking forward to it.

Olympic were ‘working class’

Rovers were founded by public schoolboys.

You know what can’t even be arsed. Obviously a very touchy individual.

Plenty, you?

Well I never!

Whys it not all over Twitter …@Rovers etc ..

Not been launched officially yet. Obviously someone cannily had a search round the online store.

Not seen many to be fair. Half a dozen, and mainly kids. (From the immediate reaction).

‘Just bought the new kit.... love it’

I think it’s the most emphatic response to a kit launch that I can ever recall. Normally there are a fair amount of people who like it. (And not just to be “that person”).

Today would have been a good day to sell Dack and sign Charlie Adam and Jason Lowe!

Oh they’ll be plenty on facebook groups saying they do.

‘The green representing the colours of the old Blackburn Corporation buses.’

Yellow with a blue trim, red and black stripes, red and black halves on rotation.

Traditional Rovers away colours, simple. 

Or they keep the yellow.

Will need it for games like West Brom, Leeds Etc.

Ha good one Rovers, jumping on the Hudds bandwagon... when’s the real one being launched?

Neither is Accrington FC’s, but it doesn’t stop folk trying to claim it’s Stanley’s.

I’ve always thought the club doesn’t make enough of its fantastic heritage.

And anything that shows old Lancashire as THE heartland of the game and not the ridiculous notion that it is the north east with its 3 League clubs is fine with me.

OK, how about him and Lenihan were our 2 best defenders. That better? 

No. He was poor and shouldn’t be tagged with Darragh in any way.
