Again, almost every other club in SL manages to keep traditional on their home shirt while leaving the experiments to their away shirt. If it really does make financial sense to go bold on the home shirt then why does nobody else?

I wouldn't say almost every other club. Certainly Hull and Saints for example do keep a similar shirt every year. But that's mainly down to the fact their fans go apesh*t if they change the design. Hull changed it from the irregular hoops and fans went nuts. So they try and stick with it. They probably don't sell as many shirts as they would like, but it's either that or fans revolt and don't buy hardly any. So for them, it's better business sense to stick with the traditional.
With our club, there isn't a big revolt when we don't go with hoops, because most people, although they might prefer hoops, aren't really that bothered. So it makes better business sense for us to bring out a new style each time.
