Hartlepool: Special one off kit will be worn on Saturday

[clippedgull]

HUFC Chief Executive Russ Green is delighted that the Club have once again been able to support the Poppy Appeal this year,

"Hartlepool United have always and always will be very committed to the annual Poppy Appeal. Not only do we currently sell poppies at the Club, we usually try to come up with some form of fund-raising for the British Legion.

"This year we will be wearing a unique tangerine kit with the poppy logo for the FA Cup tie at Brighton. After the game, the shirts will be auctioned off with all proceeds going towards this worthy fund. The shirt will only be worn once and as it is our Centenary this year, this will prove to be an extremely collectable item.

Fair play to them for getting off their arses and supporting the cause, but that shirt is an absolute dogs dinner of logos.

Millwall and Derby both looked like highlighter pens when they played us.

Thought it was going to be us wearing the one off kit, glad we aren't as we ALWAYS lose when we do that sort of thing.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Like the collar.

Brighton 1-1 Sheffield United (Palookaville one-off as home kit)
Palace 0-1 Brighton (White one-off kit)
Brighton 0-2 Donny (one-off retro kit)
Brighton 0-1 Swansea (One-off 'skint' kit)

We don't always lose - but DWLL isn't exactly a good set of results.

Why would anyone want a Sat-Nav of ARABIA?

Kind of sums up supporting the Albion as a whole really.

 

[Horsham Gull]

are you BLACKPOOL in disguise?

 

[Monkster]

Blend in with the stewards

Hartlepool are only going to wear the shirt once, so let's hope that it is the only shirt they wear in this season's FA Cup

 

[Horsham Gull]

i have a question why if its the FA CUP and they are only going to wear this shirt once do they have the COCA COLA LEAGUE patches on the right sleeve?

I think that you have to wear the coca-cola patches in all competitions, unless you get to the final - I may be wrong though.

I think the same applies to blue square and prem sleve patches.

Could it be that if they had a special FA Cup only shirt (regardless of this items rarety) the fans would moan about having to shell out on another shirt!?

It would be like the Albion bringing out an FA Cup only shirt

but the fans will only be able to buy the players originals no further ones are being made

The original question from Horsham Gull was why does it have Coca Cola badges on the sleeve. The point I was trying to make, poorly, was that if ANY team, not just Hartlepool's commemorative item, brought out an FA Cup specific shirt without the CC badges, fans would complain that it was another shirt for them to buy...
