Is it just me who thinks things like this are just yet more examples of cashing in on the fans? By all means release a 50 year strip, and obviously a centenary strip, and then 150 years and so on, but 125 years? Who the fuck celebrates the 125th year of something? They might as well release a special commemorative 130 year strip if they're going to start that shite. Thankfully Sunderland didnt release a 125 year commemorative strip in 2004, but if they had there's fuck all chance i'd have bought it

Shit clubs like Spurs released a 125th shirt. I wonder if we will have a 100 years in north London shirt.safcftm wrote:Is it just me who thinks things like this are just yet more examples of cashing in on the fans?

You can't get 2 match tickets for the price of a poxy shirt with Fly E***** on it
it's just, although it has been said hundreds of times before, i personally can't condone these prices and quick changes. i suppose that's all i'm saying even though i reckon no one else is fussed! i'm spending too much money on match tickets as it is - just like you say.
I don't see where the tradition is in changing a shirt every year or two. But the financial advantages ?brazilianGOONER wrote:can't agree with you mate. i think that tradition is one of the things that make football so special...Louder wrote:I wouldn't give a monkeys if the player went out in plain red T shirts, as long as the players represented our club to the best of their ablilty.

'. In fact I see very little 'tradition' in anything Arsenal anymore. The supporters hold the tradition at our club !. The club is a business to anyone else. The ground is the premises, the players are assets and the fans are customers !.

Could this be the new kit for next season then? With a wreath-style flourish around the crest?

The crest is *****. I just dont like the way it has gone down the route of adidas with Chelsea and Liverpool kits of bastardising the crest.LyusN1 wrote:Could this be the new kit for next season then? With a wreath-style flourish around the crest?
