Just like the half and half shirts did. Just like the remembrance poppy shirts did.
Take this statement somewhat critical having generated both Andy. Half/half shirts have been quite popular in the club shop and the poppy shirt generated quite a substantial figure that was donated to the Royal British Legion.
Ian, you do a stellar job providing shirts on demand for our wealth of sides and I’ve not got a bad word to say about your service as far as that goes.
That being said, the 1/2 1/2 shirts and poppy shirts were deemed atrocious by many people. I’m literally appointed by the club to gauge reaction and opinion to what we do. Let’s have it right, they weren’t great and neither is this LGBT shirt. I’m annoyed here because I provided the club with mockups based on market research from Manchester Pride employees. It’s far too garish. They wanted a subtle nod to their colours.
I’m not really arsed if I’m burning bridges at this point to be honest. It really is about time the club were given honest feedback. I find the shirt embarrassing but the sentiment, again, is fantastic and the reach has been phenomenal. Just a shame we are being covered with a blurry iPhone photo as opposed to the professional content I am supposed to be providing the club.
