If we got half a dozen up it'd be great fun.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Why the buggery ain't there any pics online of it yet? The online shop should have it even before preorders start tomorrow.
Want to see it not on a player.

Re: The New Kit Thread
It's referred to in marketing circles as selling the sizzle (or the snap, crackle and pop if you're Kellogg's). This product will end up on the backs of all manner of Boltonian scrote and on those of overweight, middle-aged types that should perhaps know better than to spunk £45 on an Adidas t-shirt that'll be landed on UK docks at a £1 apiecethe-Bowtun-Warrior wrote:Why the buggery ain't there any pics online of it yet?

Re: The New Kit Thread
Just for the record, not that I think I'm in any of the categories mentioned there you understand, my last two tops came courtesy of 1) Our sponsors offering a free one and 2) Premier League's "I know the score" game, which by din't of a fluke I won one month.

Want to see it not on a player.. You want to look like Chris Eagles, don't you? Don't you? (You probably don't but you take the point, no?)

Re: The New Kit Thread
I'm uncertain whether I want the one with the staggeringly long right arm, or the one with the amazingly long left.
Especially as I'd prefer a short sleeved version.
This 'drum-roll ... Pause, delay ...' suspense laden marketing is actually fckg annoying to all but marketing men with drama fixations. I blame TV competitions ..... & Gordon Brown.

I wanted one online. I expected it to be there to view to drum up desire to purchase on preorder today.
Not that i'd have spent more than a fiver on it though...
Re: The New Kit Thread
The goalkeeper kit is on the website now too, thankfully not garish vimto coloured!

Gonna get a long sleeve version. Adidas has done outstanding for us this year across the board. Great job.

We had the 'dipped in piss' kit a few years back, we've now got this 'wiped my arse light brown shit' goalkeeper kit. I'm awaiting 'I have just thrown up olive green' next.
