Still whinging about clubs releasing new shirts every year!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8848630.stm

Guess what? Don't buy them. Sure, Little Johnnie will be miserable for a day or two, maybe his friends will rib him mercilessly about not having Tottenham's 3rd kit in his wardrobe, but he'll get over it.

In the early 80s I went round with a Wolves kit on as my uncle got them mixed up with West Ham (he didn't follow football!)

If people are so stupid that they fork out on £45 football shirts each year then that's up to them. No doubt those dimwits who insist 'footballers are role models' will insist that Little Johnnie will be emotionally scarred if he can't have an expensive bit of polyester (made for a cost of 78p in a backstreet in Shanghai or Calcutta) with 'DEFOE' on the back.

Get over it you imbeciles.

You can get a nice flame going with it, I've heard.

Why not go to toffs or somewhere else, but a retro kit and that will last for ages? These new ones mainly look sh1t anyway. If football fans want to be taken seriously, stop acting like children who simply MUST have something. Clubs do it because they know that, despite the whinging, mugs will buy the latest bit of polyester.

Just buy random foreign kits for them at a fraction of the price, plenty on Ebay.

What kid would know that they're walking around in a Korona Kielce away kit from 2007-8.

I think part of it is psychological.

New kit = new start = we won't be as sh1t as we were last season.

Early season the sun shines, everything rosy, got my new away kit on etc etc.

By the end of October, you realise you've been sold a pile of horse poo once again. MUG.

I suppose it's because nobody likes being ripped off.

Lets face it any grown man wearing a replica top is extremely suspect.

Ok i can buy the whole idea for kids as we're all in one way or another slaves to the marketing men and if an 8yr old wants the new kit for his birthday well i think thats always been the case.

However when you have these middle ages men buying the clubs away strip it really does stink of MUGGINGS...theyve bought into all the sky packages,they've got their new replica strips and the probabaly think the Nat west ad's are great.

Need i say more

I have no issue of paying under £20 out of a factory in China. Soccer triads does the job
