While I wasnt keen on the 09 away shirt personally, in defence of it it was clearly a massive, massive seller for the club, to the point where I would guess that it may still be our greatest ever selling away shirt, so they clearly struck gold with the 'unusual' colour combo and design.
Thinking back to our Avec days, one shirt they did which was a brilliant idea in theory but didn't really work in practice was the 2000 home shirt (100% cotton, plain white with red band). This looked great as a traditional Rovers shirt, but in practice I think people had problems with them fading quickly (I didn't buy it, but remember the big 'ROVERS' red lettering on the back seemed to fade quickly on other peoples.
A cotton old-style shirt is still something I think the club should do (Hull do it from time-to-time to a seemingly positive reception and sales) but as its a good idea I'm sure they won't do it.
