To develop an earlier theme regarding the lack of a traditional Wire kit.

1 - there is no standard Wire kit. We are 125 years old. We can't create one now by choice. That stuff is created over time by custom and practice.
2 - I assume one of the main (only?) reasons we rotate the style is that it will help sell more and lets be honest, that is rather the point.
3 - if we DIDN'T have a different style, some would probably get bored of the same designs year on year.

As an aside, Im at a loss why people get so cross at this at what kit we're wearing each year. It really isn't that big a deal.

Think you'll find it 135.

The more I see this photo, the more I see backing dancers for Scissor Sisters.

Two things firstly I am not one to ridicule a fellow Wire poster because you like I wear the P&B and secondly I do wear the most Primrose & Blue glasses available and so I am very very biased in favour of the club.

But to suggest that the 'Clubs publicity department underwent a complete clear-out' just because you don't like the 2012 Club shirt is pathetic.

Agreed. If you don't like it, don't buy it, but don't make ridiculous comments. Why would the club's 'publicity department' want a complete clearout anyway?

why dont the club as a publicity stunt get isc to mock up say 6 designs for home kit and 6 designs for away kit and put it to a vote by the supporters as to what they would wear and have the voting at the game as you walk through the turnstiles so the real supporters get to vote and maybe back up with an online vote on website or in club shop then they would guarantee that they are making the shirt the majority of fans would want to wear therefore buy and put money into the shop and the club just a thought

but i may be the odd one that actually quite likes both kits

Macaulay Culkin?!?

I like both kits - and think as a "one off stunt" in principal this is a very good idea - unfortunately it won’t stop the moaners when their shirt design isn't picked!!

I personally didn’t like last year’s home or away kit so I didn’t buy it - however I will probably purchase both this year!

There is a better picture of the replica shirt, modelled by Gareth O'Brien in this weeks League Express. Still not as good as the players version though.

i personally don't give a e what they wear as long as they kick ass!
