oh, and meant to say ...
manchester city have half unveiled their new shirt today, it's a beautifully simple umbro number along the same lines as england's fab new one.
more to the point though is the way City have marketed it. there's plenty of rumours around but no leaked pictures came out, just really subtle advertising around manchester showing the collar only.
next thing they did was 'rent' the shutters on the front of shops in the Northern Quarter (the creative centre of manc. a bit like the North Laine) and put big simple murals up - i.e. one record shop just had a big blue moon and then the launch date in little numbers at the bottom, other shops just had a massive red and black sash on white (traditional City away kit) with another release date. a cool vintage clothes shop had a big gold bee (symbol of lancs) on it, another a big red rose (another symbol of lancs). there was also big inflatable bananas on shop fronts and the new Tailored by Umbro logo too.
I'm not saying that Albion have the same resources as City, but good PR is available to the club if they wanted it, and this campaign really created a buzz.
i suppose it helps that the shirt is really nice.

of which everyone has three dozen different versions hanging in their wardrobe already - so sales might be a slight problem...........
We should keep it simple.
Main kit: Blue and white striped shirts, white shorts, blue socks.
Other options: White shirts, blue shirts, white socks.
We should always wear the main kit home and away unless there is a colour clash. In that event we should look at one of the otions above e,g. white shirts.
We should have another colour kit only for use when one of the above options does not work. Probably yellow.
That way we will be almost always be playing in a combination of blue and white, or all white, or all blue. Those are after all our club colours.
Red is not our colour. We should never play in red.

The first 2,500 orders for the City shirt get a pair of tickets to see Doves play at Eastlands too!

6, the collar is awful.

Just checked this link out - & it appears that Jim & James have both lost an arm very recently!
The shirt is on display in the window of the new club shop. It's awful, awful, awful. Much worse looking in real life than it looks on the website.
A big shame as the red and black stripes were great last time. It's the swirly red bit, it looks like one ripped red shirt on top of a red and black one.
No more Errea please...

Things could be worse, one club has the classic blue and white stripes but also featuring a number of half eaten baby bell cheeses on it too
