Alternate Shirt

[Trucker Paddy]

I have a real problem with 'Yanks Out' as a slogan. Americans on here may not take offence but it's so alienating.

fuck them, sing songs about Vietnam if it gets rid of the cunts, this club survived before yanks came along and it'll survive if another yank never supports us, cunts

Orange and black one rules.

 

 

 

 

Since AFC Liverpool was created by Liverpool fans in protest at the amount of money it costs to watch top flight football, wearing their shirts in protest could be seen as symbolic, whilst the money spent on buying a shirt would be going to a good cause in supporting AFC at the same time.

 

It might also generate media interest similar to what the scum have had with their Norwich scarves.

 

That, is some impressive lurkage.

I like the shirt though without the Adidas logo and the 3 stripes.

 

100% correct. Drawing attention to our owners' nationality is irrelevant and smacks heavily of nastiness, especially when you are using a slang term like "yank" which could easily be seen derogatory.

 

Not saying anyone meant it as racist, mind.

This is a fantastic idea would you really need approval from Adidas though ?

[odris]

So i think the main contenders are purple/white and orange/white or black.

 

I'm surprised none of the brains of SOS have thought of this idea, it's a simple and possibly massively effective.

SOS Should be all over this.

[odris]

Did my post say they would? All it would need is for everyone who wants one to get there names down and then possibly any profits made from them put towards ordering loads more to sell outside the ground and with that money put it in the HJC.

 

WHY HASN'T NOBODY GOT ON TO THIS IDEA? IT'S FUCKING BOSS.

 

Edit: I see you edited your post.

We don't need logo's.... we something thats simple & stands out, SOS can explain whats it all about. A shirt of the shelf will do, its also important for fans to be able to obtain the shirt.

 

PNE retro shirt is good option because the club was a nothing club until shankley arrived.

 

 

for those who are crying about the colour, who cares? it stands out more in the KOP.

 

 

That my two pennys worth....

I think that's a bad idea, while the back story is great i don't think you will get many people buying them. It would just feel weird wearing a blue shirt to the match, proper weird.

why don't we just use an older shirt of ours instead of using another clubs

[Mathewbet1]

It will work on two fronts - boycotting new kit sales - hurting G&H in their pockets

Sending a visual message associated with G&H campaign. Imagine an all Purple or Orange Kop.

 

If the shirts take off how about orange or purple scarfs to compliment them.

 

There's loads of company's in China that manufacture kits to your exact specification.

That's my thinking of it, it works on many fronts.

What if the current owners were Irish?

 

Irish Out or worse ok with you?

 

Afterall, this club survived before the Irish came along and it'll survive if another Irishman never supports us, cunts.

 

Hopefully you now see the error. Leave nationality out of this.

Get in touch with Toffs and see if they'd offer massive discount.

 

We'll all just get the 1965 FA Cup winning shirt instead of the new one when it comes out.

[Guest davelfc]

OK, I like the orange shirt, 'get out' is better on the shirt than anything else. Plus I agree remove the adidas as it's not worth the hassle trying to get them onside. They'll not be happy as they want us to buy official adidas shirts. You cannot use any logo that could cause customs to claim it was a fake or for any company try to take the seller to court.

 

How about copying the detail of a new shirt but in orange? Ok with a few modifications to make it different. You could have messages in the material as well, this might be worth considering too.

 

This isn't a scarf though, be aware that a lot of fans won't buy this if it isn't club colours. It's easy to buy a scarf and wear it at the game. But trying to get a more expensive shirt on the backs of fans will be a more difficult task. As a back up, I'd have a red or white one on standby.

 

How about we get 'mock ups' of the shirts in several colours and poll as many LFC sites as we can. If the majority like a colour then you'll sell more, which is sort of the point.

 

I accept that people want the shirt to stand out, but you also need to provide a decent alternative to the new shirt so that we hurt the owners. Don't worry, you'll see these shirts on tv if they sell enough.

What he said.

 

I thought about the badge which was why i put this together.

 

 

I'm sure more talented folks can come up with something better. But it's slightly paraphrased bill quote and bill's fist. Dave's bang on the money about fans buying it, it will have to look like a liverpool shirt. Get it on other forums get other folks with designs then get one voted for.

[birkenhead]

What ever shirt is chosen it needs to be readily available fast, it needs to be around the ground 3-4 weeks before the new shirt go on sale to have any impact on the club sales.

[Red Phoenix]

It'd be way better making our own, and using an old one is just totally copying the mancs instead of doing something (making our own orange or purple top.) that'd possibly be even better. We could get a really decent design sorted too, and it'd probably sell insanely well once word spread about it.

[odris]

People lap this stuff up, i don't think it will be a problem selling orange or purple anti G+H shirts outside anfield.

Could someone tell me how to post an image, thanks

Upload it to on ImageShack® - Online Media Hosting then once its done copy and paste the 'direct link' into these tags but take out the red stars

[RobC]

Thanks for the help Acid

It needs a bit of work, but you get the idea, might look good on a yellow shirt with the Shanks image in red

[Monster Masch]

When I was talking to Sam Dodds earlier they were saying they got loads and loads of shit from Adidas when they made a Gillette and Hicks out t-shirt lastyear. But they are willing to help, but they will probably want to sell it a different way.
