What a con by the Club!!

Post by hallamblue » Thu Sep 10, 2015 2:45 pm

Bringing out another shirt - a revamped orange one.

Clearly the Barca style shirtewas only ever intended to be a cash cow!

I for one, will never renew my Town shirt again now. f*ck 'em.

Please don't take this the wrong way, Hallam, (I love you dearly! :D ) but it's all geared towards the youth. You should see the Hibs shop on the day of a home game between 1pm & 3pm. Wall to wall kids buying the new f**king stinking purple away top.

The market is there for it.

Seems the line is that the officials believe we will clash on Friday.

Lol no offence taken. But what annkys me is the grand unveiling of the first and second kits in July and they clearly have no intention of ever using the second shirt......but fans buy ig in their droves. NOW they launch ANOTHER orange shirt. We've already got one! Its only about getting more cash out if already hard pressed fans imo !

Surely if they were that intent on extorting more cash out of us, they would make this new orange kit available to purchase... :wink: I can't quite see the thinking behind the 'away' kit, though, other than an attempt to emulate Barça, of course!

And now that I think of it......., how the hell is the Barca ITFC kit going to crash with a Reading home kit?

But if you think about it more, ......., this actually answers a HUGE question. Is the ref a blind bstd?
The answer is of course yes. But he's also a feckin colour blind bstd.

No offence to colour blind people intended. You can spank me black & blue if annoyed.

The club clearly say the third kit orange shirt won't be on sale so what is all the fuss about...

Which is very unfortunate, cos I'd buy it and give it to my Dundee (not United) supporting mate!

Pmsl, EXACTLY!....and Jamma , I take your point about it needing to be on sale....watch this space! :wink:

my feeling is we already have an orange shirt. ..so why bring out another one just for one game? Load of old cobblers.

Because fans have forked out and brought the Barcelona like shirt and it hasn't been worn yet. I can't see it being used much because it clashes with quite a few teams colours.

I can't see the Barcelona kit clashing with any of the other championship clubs, Lucy. Burnley maybe, but then ITFC would just wear the home shirt @ Turf Moor.

Would never clash with Crystal Palace because Mick needs to get the club to the feckin EPL first, and even then, same applies...., the clubs would just wear their home kits.

And it would never clash with Barcelona themselves because there is more chance of me buying a season ticket for shitecastle than ITFC ever playing in the Champions League.

Please note this away shirt is for this season only and is supplied for the first-team only. It won’t be on sale for supporters to purchase. Read more at http://www.itfc.co.uk/news/article/oran ... EpschxL.99

All seems little odd as the Barca kit will therefore clash with QPR, Huddersfield, Brighton,Cardiff, B'ham, and Sheff Wed if the Reading kit does.

Seems to me it may never get worn!!!!!!
