Mattyblue Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Spotted on Facebook that even Birdy isn’t buying one - I’ve never, I repeat never in all the time I’ve known him not seen him in the new shirt. Doesnt bode well for sales (though he may be riled that he wasn’t asked to do the launch campaign ) 4 Quote

tomphil Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Someone posted a mock up of the sponsors logo in blue on twitter and it looks 50% better as a whole. Edited July 18, 2018 by tomphil Quote
Backroom Mike E Posted July 18, 2018 Backroom Posted July 18, 2018 1 hour ago, Tom said: Whilst I like the core design of the shirt the colours of the sponsor and the numbering is off for me, can’t marry them up and find it jarring If the sponsor was the same blue as the numbers (instead of black), I'd LOVE that kit. Black sponsor makes it look a bit... meh. Quote

Stuart Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Just seen it. Very happy. I’ve saved myself a fortune!! Never liked any of the pale blue efforts but from the picture this one looks cheap, washed out and has a great big black stain on the front. I can see why they didn’t put an advanced marketing campaign on! Peter Kay’s aged a bit though. Quote
Stuart Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I would have asked when the away kit is out but they've even had the cheek to put the price up to £50!! Fifty quid!! Waggott should wear a mask when he meets the fans. Quote

Waggott should wear a mask when he meets the fans. Just wait until April. They'll be flogging them for £20 a piece which those in the 1875 club should be able to use Club Cash for and get it for £5.

Angry_Pirate Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Why is there a spider crawling in the top left corner next to the lettering of Mulgrew? Having a huge #10 on the front of the shirt might not go down too well with the league... I'm sure it's been approved though. Could prove to be a masterstroke when the opposition don't know what our L1 and loan players look like and are defending corners ? ? from me. Even the lettering is wrong. Fingers crossed the away kit saves it. Quote
pick32 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Can’t see the away kit being nice either with that sponsor Quote

Clitherover Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I don't mind the shirt but the sponsor is the worst I've seen on a Rovers shirt for a good while. Quote
Claytons Left Boot Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Colour wrong, collar wrong, sponsor style wrong, washed out blue on wrong side. This but with the current badge. 5 Quote

Mattyblue Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Mick McGrath, yes. Dave Whelan not ring a bell BDS? He's told the broken leg at the 1960 cup final story just the few times... Edited July 18, 2018 by Mattyblue Quote
perthblue02 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Somebody has posted their bought shirt on twitter, looks like dark blue number and name rather than royal blue LINK Edited July 18, 2018 by perthblue02 Quote
JHRover Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 From behind it looks ok. Its just the sponsor I dislike. It would make much more sense for the numbers to be the same colour as the socks and sponsor. 1 Quote

Ha ha, I recognize him now that I look at him properly alright Had never heard of McGrath Mick McGrath joined Blackburn Rovers in August 1954. He made 269 Football League appearances over the next ten years at Ewood Park. and played with players including Peter Dobing, Derek Dougan and Mike England. He helped the club win promotion to the First Division and appeared in the 1960 FA Cup Final where he scored an own goal in a 3-0 defeat to Wolves. He now lives in Blackburn and has retired after 24 years working for Thwaites Brewery. Edited July 18, 2018 by Bigdoggsteel Quote
Lancaster Rover Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I can't seem to find how to personalize the shirt on the Roverstore, my little lad wants his name on his and can't seem to find the option. Quote
