Dan Furness Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 New home kit blue and white halves but thankfully back to white shorts. Away kit, black body, silver sleeves. Trust me! I bet your wrong! However I would expect you'll be right about the shorts because from the amount of people who have moaned about the shorts being blue either on here or just in general I would think the club would want to shut these up. Still think we should have done something to commemorate the tenth anniversary of winning the league, i.e. having the kits modelled on the kits from then. I know away kit is primarily black...........

laughatthedingles Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I KNOW Nike paid Stanley to make their kits... lol, this is turning in the soccer am feature, 'things I know' anyone else?
blue/white Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) my apologies gbax... you point has been taken. It is not you that has my knickers in a twist just your idea. I strongly prefer simplicity.... if every team that's won a premiership medal starts sporting stars or other accoutrement... IMO, the next step is for clubs to starting denoting first old division championships... no? Where will it all end, man ???? I suppose I'm just an old, raving & drooling git... but all I want on my team's kits is the blood, sweat and tears of the lads wearing them... ( supporters excluded, of course. ) cheers Edited March 11, 2005 by blue/white
cn_barlow Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 why can't we keep the same ones? these are the nicest we've had for ages.
Ben-2000 Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Hate to be a killjoy...but I'm not really fussed who makes the kit or sponsors it... as long as it is someone and there is money coming in. I like the idea of halved away shirts, I didn't see your post about it last year Scotty but good suggestion Edited March 11, 2005 by Ben-2000
JAL Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I think the person or persons who initiated the blue shorts for this season should be named and shamed for an unforgiveable act in trying to drag down the Blackburn Rovers football kit. I ask, at which time in our rich history did we wear Blue shorts for home games(apart from now) because if we did i'm sure it was an instantly forgetable season. I feel i can compare this with the lack of understanding from the club about how local people felt towards the Burnley game as they do with the Leicester game, television aside. Every true Blackburner places the highest of highest emphasis possible on beating Burnley, i feel reputations were really on the line at Ewood if Rovers had not beaten Burnley.... but i question John Williams and his management team on do they really know how the local public judge each Rovers game. All you need to do is go out there and ask them the answers are there.
American Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 But if we really wanted to be traditional, JAL, we'd be wearing brown socks...
Tom Pringle Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Nike also make Tamworths kit. We might get Nike.
blue/white Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Hey American... i'm wearing brown socks... what's wrong with that??? Oh my !!! A Tom Pringle sighting ! Edited March 11, 2005 by blue/white
OnePost Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Don't mind the blue shorts but would have preferred them with white socks (like the kit that we wear when we go to Old Trafford) I'd take that as the home kit every year. Tradition says white shorts, but that MUST be with blue socks, otherwise the kit ends up looking like Leeds' kit with a blue vertical band on it My best experiences on away trips have come when we wear black and red stripes. Particularly the 92-94 away kit with black shorts and red socks. The red sleeves spoilt the kappa kit for me. Quite like the black and red halves idea, with black shorts and red socks. Blue and red halves would be too much like going back to school, although I have played for the same team as Beattie..................only many, many years before he did.

Eddie Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 JAL how on earth did you get all of that from us having blue shorts? We did beat burnley didn't we? We did take it seriously didn't we? What is your problem?
Paul Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Nike also make Tamworths kit. We might get Nike. They make my gym shirt as well
Tom Pringle Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) If they pay Tamworth, Paul and my old football club which has been folded for about 6 months, then SURELY they'll consider making the Rovers kit? Edited March 12, 2005 by Tom Pringle
hillman Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 I long ago got fed up with being ripped off with replica shirts. Why the hell should I pay silly money for an overpriced poorly made nylon T shirt? These things went out in the 70s for normal wear. The sponsors free logo always looks naff and ruins the shirt completely. Instead I buy a quality replica shirt with no ugly logo and made of 100% cotton. Never goes out of fashion from season to season and is actually comfortable to wear!
Ninjathunder Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 I long ago got fed up with being ripped off with replica shirts. Why the hell should I pay silly money for an overpriced poorly made nylon T shirt? They're only £11 in the shop now.
bob fleming Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Nike also make Tamworths kit. We might get Nike. Wing Commander Pringle! Hope you are well. Are you referring to the rumoured and made up story of Blackburn Rovers forming a feeder club system with Tamworth Academicals (and getting rid of the existing relationship with Italian Serie G club Circle Bilge), developing great bonds between the two clubs, encouraging fans to travel to both teams games, sharing resources and as you mentioned, maybe even kit manufacturers? (i.e. Nike) 'Cause if you are I reckon you're talking out of your hat. Puma. That's what I've heard. Ruddy great Puma's on the loose down at Ewood. That's why there are no queues outside the ticket office, too dangerous. Williams should be out there with a shotgun if he's serious about having a reasonable attendence tomorrow. But no. What does he do? Nothing. He's probably feeding the rascals.

Tom Pringle Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Actually Bob, i was refering to the rumoured and made up story about Blackburn Rovers forming a feeder club system with Tamworth F.C. not Tamworth Academicals (and getting rid of the existing relationship with Italian Serie G club Circle Bilge), developing great bonds between the two clubs, encouraging fans to travel to both teams games, sharing resources and as you mentioned, maybe even kit manufacturers (i.e. Nike). But you may be right. I think it'll probably be Uhlsport and we'll have 'We Believe in Football' put on our shirts again.
JAL Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Blue shorts.... blue blooming shorts to watch Rovers play at home that to me is a big, big problem. Ever since 1970, i have never seen Rovers wear blue shorts for home games and i dont want to, i feel as if we are playing away from home wearing blue shorts. Tradition and standards must be maintained at all costs! Agree with onepost about white socks with blue shorts but for away games only please. If you want to look good playing football then always try to wear a coloured shirt and shorts with... white socks. I'll never forget AC.Milan in the early 90's playing in white socks they looked a class above.
colin Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Puma. That's what I've heard. Ruddy great Puma's on the loose down at Ewood. That's why there are no queues outside the ticket office, too dangerous.

No problem, Either the geese or the swans will see them off double quick time. They be scuttling off back to their lairs on Darren Moor before you can say "Bob's your uncle."
Tim Southampton Rover Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 For those interested! I take it that it won't affect us anymore either!
