I’ll never understand the furore new replica shirts stir in some minds.
A pure marketing ploy, understandably so, they should only be manufactured directly for the club squads and children. Adults in replica shirts is a distinct no-no. It should be a specific common law offence for a middle aged, rotund gentleman to be seen in a public place sporting a clingy, replica football shirt. Fixed penalty notice with the option of a waiver for first offence if the perpetrator attends a re-education course.
What you gonna do at the first home game back?? Build a protective box around me!!?? :lol:
I should add: I never wore or bought a repica shirt before I met and married the fragrant Mrs Pogle and the Step-Poglettes. She it was that bought me a shirt as a surprise present.
Are you suggesting I should not wear it? : 'Sorry Mrs P but Shankster says that I shouldn't wear your present!' :shock:
Anyway, that was some years ago, I've learnt to love the moving marquee on legs look!! :scarf:
