Why cant they just let everyone else get on with it, because some do like the shirt. Matty B for example, hates the shirt, but hes not planning protests and emailing his heartfelt thoughts to the club - I find it quite ridiculous that people actually are. Fair enough if it was something that could seriously effect the club and peoples lives, but at the end of the day, its just a shirt.
That's a fair enough point, and I tend to agree with the "if you don't like it, don't buy it" brigade, and on that note I, for one, won't be buying it.
On the other hand, my main cause for concern is that, if opinions on here (and elsewhere) are replicated amongst the wider fan base, it represents a reduced income stream for the club.
Given the increased "openness" of communication in the Lenagan era, I really don't understand why there wasn't some degree of fans' input into the design - after all, they're the customers. Any company producing something for sale will do some market research first - except in this case, it seems.
