A 'different' style of shirt every 3 years is a great idea. I think the problem this time round is that out of the 6 shirts to vote on, at least 3 of them are awful!
i think a better idea would have been to have a fan design comp starting in Jan and then have monthly rounds of voting depending on the number of credible designs that are submitted with a winner picked around August time. That way the manufacturers would have plenty of time to produce them
(and no sponsors would be allowed on the design, Lee!
)
