Warrior Kit Deal - Not bullshit

[aiyic]

Exactly.

 

Sad as it may sound to us but there's a lot of people out there away from LFC who aren't interested. I've seen it described as "Hillsborough fatigue" by supporters of other clubs and making a big deal out of this kind of thing dilutes the main campaign.

 

The club recognise the HFSG and not the HJC (Rightly or wrongly) and the HFSG were consulted. How many groups are the club supposed to contact? I'd expect a statement like this from SOS, but the HJC should have kept this one private.

 

Well said. Whether we like it or not, 'compassion fatigue' exists with non-Kopites. Battles should be chosen well, and this ain't a good choice. There is also the the 'Judean People's Front' tag that can aimed at the different groups. They all need good advice on PR, hence, LFC can be the last ones to turn to on that.

What press release can you link me to it please.

 

Or can anyone link me to the press release thanks.

 

Ive only found a Warrior one but I'd imagine that Liverpool, or any other major sports club,would want to oversee anything major like this.

 

It doesnt mention HFSG or anything about Hillsborough other than being a 'socially responsible' company.

 

I'll shuffle about and see if theres anything else I can find.

Here is the Echo article too.

 

Hillsborough Justice Campaign: Lack of consultation over new LFC shirt design is 'insensitive, divisive and deplorable' - Liverpool Local News - News - Liverpool Echo

[chorlton]

It's not deplorable, it's a massive cock up and a break down in communication. HJC should have been included. It's not fucking rocket science, jesus i could do a job for LFC as could most people on here.

 

Forge links with the community, talk to the fans, it's not difficult. Ask the players to visit the hospital more regularly, why once a year? They all enjoy it, put on rotation and get one to visit once a week.

 

Get the youth team to play at anfield when possible and just cover the costs to open anfield. If it's not possible, let people know you looked into it.

 

etc.

The job's yours!

[PaulMcC]

Our owners, and people who run the club, are just completely clueless.

[CharlieP]

It's the nicest shirt I've seen in the 15 years or so I've been supporting Liverpool Football Club.

 

I love the new crest, I love the new tribute on the back. Warrior have done a great job.

[Faustus]

The job's yours!

 

Nah, there's enough common sense in chorlton's post there to rule him out!

[chorlton]

I've just been let go by FSG, it was a short but productive time. I'm honoured to have been gven the opportunity and wish to spend more time with my family.

[norwichlfc]

Is this still rumbling on. Lets be truthful here, it seems a splinter group, upset that they are not getting attention like the HFSG get, so it seems they release this statement to get that attention. Rightly or wrongly whatever your stance is on it.

 

To me i admit i never knew what the flames represented at first, i honestly thought it was part of the design. When it was pointed out to me a fair time later, i honestly felt stupid.

 

So with the 96 on the back, it is more prominent

Thanks mate there the only things I managed to find as well regarding the kit release.

 

I am convinced now that this statement HJC mention is actually the minutes from the supporters meeting in March with the club.

 

This one and if thats the case well I saying nothing people can make there own minds up.

 

 

Question 9 from Tore Hansen representing the Official Supporters Clubs

It wouldn't be appropriate to discuss a new shirt design prior to it being officially launched however, we can say that the Hillsborough families Support Group have and will be consulted throughout the design process.

Points raised: Yes the families were consulted on the proposals and they have confirmed that they are happy with final design.

Actions agreed: None.

Status: Open.

[old skool tom]

arent warrior making 'baby' kits?

 

not on website for pre order,do they only sell them in shop perhaps?

 

also,will the numbers be yellow? look shite if white!

 

somebody told me PL only allows white/black numbering.....this true?

[WaltonRed]

We dont talk to HJC, never have, why's it took the flames being moved for people to moan about that?

 

Sure they should talk to them but they dont, I think Moores found them too militant and its kept up through the new lot too

I think because they are trying to get justice for the 96 means they will be in direct/indirect conflict with the authorities and a football club can't bee seen to be battling with the Old Bill 24/7 (yes I know its South Yorkshire police their beef is with but their all brothers together aren't they?!). You know if Liverpool openly backed them then the police would start dicking around with our kick off times, saying it wasn't safe or some such shit and kettling the fans or overcharging or other bollocks like that!

[WaltonRed]

Both groups want justice so I dont get your point

[moof]

When are we going to see the away and 3rd kits?

[WaltonRed]

Usually end of May isnt it? They like to get them out in time for the summer hols so kids get them to go away in

[Furmedge]

Back to the actual kit, I've just been playing at Anfield (I know, I know) and had a walk in the club shop afterwards and the kit is up in the store. Had a feel of it and quality material used there as well. Looks smart.

[Rapey Hugh]

[navbasi]

One question I have.... Is the home kit only going to last ONE season? It's being advertised that way... "The New Liverpool FC 12/13 Home Kit is like no other."

[Juniper]

Yes, it's a one kit a season job from now on.

[WaltonRed]

They decided that before we'd even signed with warrior

 

they changed the charter on the site months ago

[the walsh]

[stephen.archiba]

I got mine in post today, in Northern Ireland, post man said he had a van filled with them, I have to say I am very happy with it, good material, the material on the sleeves is slightly different to the main body (I got the long sleeved) it does look very retro and is a deep red.

 

I fookin love it :-) The free t-shirt isnt bad either
