The obsession to have a "story" behind each and every kit seems to override what should be the main factor of having a bloody good design that us fans want to wear. As others have mentioned, who at the club is signing off on them?
The 125 shirt is brilliant and if the new shirt had been designed around that, I have no doubt it would have been the best selling shirt ever. Sadly......
I think there is a bit of 'the King's new clothes' about it: the designers and marketing people put together a great story about what it means and then the people reading it think they would seem like idiots if they said 'Yes, but it looks crap'!
