Title: "Pink" Test match
Post by: Dougals Dad on January 04, 2011, 10:17:36 AM
Is it just me or does anyone else find the "Pinkness" of the Sydney test match very touching - that a nation can get behind one of its heroes in such a big way. As an old friend of Alty I wish Glenn McGrath every continuing success with his fund raising for a great cause.

Maybe Alty can have a pink away kit sometime to also raise awareness of Breast (and other?) cancers?

It's dead easy to make your own pink away shirt

Just take a curent away shirt and stick it in the wash with some cheap red T shirt and hey presto !  !  ;D

A pink away kit to raise awareness for breast cancer is a superb idea, maybe even just for one season. The small ribbon could also be included as a picture, perhaps under or above the club badge

i think the ribbon should be in the middle - so youd have - thing sports - ribbon - alty badge across the top

If the club didnt want an entire new kit - they could add like a pink "band" to the sleeve - similar to the black armband but on the shirt

Palermo's kit is one of my favourites......that would make a great Alty away kit.

That is a quality kit - and also compared to recent away kits - this white is a bit boring IMO

:D partly because yellow is my favorite colour

For those who havent seen palermo's kit http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/images/product/large/PalermoHSS0809.gif (http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/images/product/large/PalermoHSS0809.gif) here it is

Maybe even have the kit 'sponsored' (for free)  by the McGrath Foundation

As much as Glenn is the inspiration for this idea, I think supporting a British or local cancer charity (Christies?) would be more appropriate.

Sensport don't do a pink kit, so I have referred to this thread and asked the feasability.

Correct me if I'm wrong here

But this is the site http://www.sensportkits.org.uk/sportsKits.html (http://www.sensportkits.org.uk/sportsKits.html) --> two choices - prostar or Another - and this is on prostar http://www.prostar.co.uk/MONACO-Jersey-5/Default.aspx (http://www.prostar.co.uk/MONACO-Jersey-5/Default.aspx) and it's pink?

Whilst I appreciate your point entirely Cancer doesn't respect international boundaries whichever part of the body it affects.


If however a more general proposal were requires and MacMillan weren't primarily associated with the colour green I'd propose them but then I'm biased!

You'll see that I was bemoaning the fact that MacMillan is associated with the colour green

Maybe this is the sort of cause we could help.

CONDOLENCES
 Very sad news for an ex-Altrincham player comes from FC United. "It is with great sadness that we report Richard Battersby’s fiancée Jenna passed away earlier today. The club extends its sympathy to Richard and both families at this sad time. Richard Battersby is raising money for Cancer Research by participating in the Shine Walk in aid of Cervical Cancer. Please support Richard by visiting his fundraising page click here. Please help Richard raise money for this worthwhile cause". The condolences of all at Moss Lane go to Richard and his fiancée's family.

I am sure I can reiterate that our thjoughts are with Richard & those close to him.
