Quote: HamsterChops "It really does scream of trying to find an extra selling point. Don't know if anyone has a photo of the 1978 shirt, but the only real resemblance is the presence of a "V" shape. I don't think it's even the same size and angle.
Good to acknowledge, but I feel if they really wanted to mimic that shirt, they could have at least made the V and colours identical, then plaster all the sponsors over it. Sounds like they are economical with the truth to me, you know, for a change.'"
I indeed have a picture, and you are so soooooooooooooooooooo right, the stripes are 3 microns too small and the angle is 2.5 degrees out. And, given the professional era and the increase in chest size since that shirt, the stripes on this imposter are far too long and should be aprox 2.23959 cms shorter each side. What you have not noticed with your wild wild inspirational imagination is that the colour should be Pantone 1295-663N which is a creamier colour than the rather synthetic white. But, despite that lack of attention to detail, well done HC, another economical with the grey matter contribution that leads to points from the pitch.
or to put it another way, when did " inspired by" mean "mimic"?
Or to put it another way, the first paragraph is a mimic of you, the second my inspiration.
