You’re giving them far too much credit. It’s simply that Suhail is concerned that with 2000 unsold shirts on his hands, launching another new one will cannibalise those sales in the run up to Christmas. Someone therefore believes the fanbase can be fleeced more effectively by launching the anniversary shirt later; perhaps even after Christmas (?) at £90 a pop. Anyone wanting a chuckle…imagine if Liverpool released their 1st ever shirt as their anniversary kit. Well worth a Google that 😉

The BRFCS POTM is… MOTM template.mp4

That Baradji lad had better be good after all this…🫣

He may be ordinary but who can Rovers realistically recruit now, that is demonstrably better?

Credit it to him for going along with it…short of putting him in goal couldn’t be more alien

Any truth that the club motto is to be changed to “Due to unforeseen circumstances” from Arte et Labore ? 🤦‍♂️

We do too..!

A bizarre one off…

There may be other solutions for short sleeves…take it into a local seamstress 😉 The challenge is having to hit minimum production runs in two designs.

Me too

About 8-10 weeks…

Duggie came on & just voted for himself 😆

Let's leaven the mood by remembering this...

This was the club badge when I first started going to Ewood in the 60's - it was on decals in the Nuttall St stand for sure & started being used on the programme (replacing the town crest) in 67/68. The Tudor rose badge is the first (non-town crest) badge I recall on the shirt - replaced eventually by "the club badge".

NEVER underestimate the power of "Marketing" Parson 😉

We have M, L & 2XL left...£63 inc P&P - DM me if you want one...

On a separate but related note...if BRFCS sold a "Bob Crompton*" shirt for £60 - could I bank on at least 50 of you buying it ? Because if you will...😉 *more Cambridge Blue...white half on the LHS (over the heart)

Someone at the club (probably in marketing) has said something along the lines of Marketing Guru: "If we market another blue & white halved shirt it won't sell as well as a differentiated product will...there is a belief that we wore a white shirt once...we should produce a white shirt as the anniversary kit then we don't cannibalise sales of this season's home kit..." SP: "Make sure you bump the price..." MG: "On it..."

OK...the badge first worn by (some) of our players 😉 (I do admire pedantry BTW...it ensures accuracy...🫡)

I agree with this entirely - the kit consultation group (that was almost entirely ignored) made this exact point...I wanted the Bob Crompton shirt for our anniversary kit...we might have to do a BRFCS version then eh ? 😉
