I've said all along the reason for the sleeves being a bit shite was because some marketing type has convinced the club they will make logos more pronounced.

I think they might have a point!

Chavtastic.

Oh dear.



Yes, I know it helps fill the coffers ( [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] any idea what sort of income this may generate? I have no clue what the going rate is), but, really?

I'm pleased I bought a replica shirt before these were put on them.

Wow glad I got a shirt before that becomes standard issue.

'Supporters will be able to have the branding applied to their shirts for free from Monday 18th September*, either in the Seagulls Superstore at the Amex, or at the JD store in Churchill Square, Brighton.'

Really? Is anyone ACTUALLY going to go out of their way to do that

Couldn't we have stuck out for Sports Direct? We need Mike Ashley on board.......

....... only joking - hopefully obviously.

Same here.

It's free. Why not? If people are into accuracy, they will need to.

Jeez that's a bit naff isn't it? I accept that this kind of commercialism comes with the territory we're now in but I'd have hoped the club might have held out for something a bit classier than that

Why not?

So we lose the Premier League logo on our arms in favour of....that.

Oh well, hope the moneys worth it.

I was wondering about that. Perhaps the PL logo was only ever on the right arm, and is still there? Again, dunno.

The cynic in me wonders if this is the
reason why there is a delay in restocking home shirts.

 

[Notters]

Presumably it won't be on all replica shirts?

I hope this isn't the start of any other tie ins with JD as they have been a total nightmare when it comes to Scotland national team. JD are their "Exclusive" retailer.

What were posters expecting to see on the sleeves:-








One for the kidz.

Chavtastic? Maybe, but some of our fand are chavs. And if they want to......... why not.

Pesonally, I prefer the polo shirt approach anyway - more low key.

 

[The Wookiee]

Why all the negativity around JD Sports ? Or are people getting their JD Sports confused with their Sports Direct ?

Now then, herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically would be an absolutely wondrous sleeve design. I wonder if I can retroactively apply that to my shirt

 

[RONALDEANO]

I've been trying to get a shirt for the last month or so. I'll be seriously pissed off if i have to walk around with this on my sleeve
