not bad, knew they would do their own when they saw loads of them being worn.......only 3 years too late, hope lots buy one but i have a feeling they missed the boat and most people who wanted a retro shirt already bought one form elsewhere.

also i notice it is made by kooga - which then begs the question - why couldn't they have done one sooner as a replica shirt ?

I've always thought a traditional shirt would be a good idea but at least this way, my money is going to the club and not a back street seller

I believe someone was informed the club were going ahead with this but couldn't wait, sort of a revolving door now, could have sold these and raised the money for a half back/increased offer to keep Adam Walker/kept price of season tickets down. (you get what I mean)

I wouldnt quite call the Ex-players Association a 'back street seller' but each to their own opinion !!

The club have had plenty of opportunity to produce these.
I still think it should have been done with a small booklet attached to the label with a little bit about the history of the shirt ie from Fartown to the Giants

The fact that supporters have to take it into their own hands to produce their own merchandise because the club have not done it properly is the clubs fault NOT the supporters fault.

I still have one of Smilers hoodies which is an excellent piece of kit and far exceeds anything the club have done recently.

Smiler? someone else making Giants merchandise?

Still got mine too...........it will be getting its annual outings soon, agree with you about the standard, excellent quality, as for the dig at the fans for not waiting, i personally told RT and others at a fans forum thingy a couple of years back that a retro shirt would sell like hotcakes, its took them 3-4 years to produce these instead preferring to sell the utter garbage we have had to endure for the last few seasons - there was a gap in the market, the club didnt respond to it, someone else did and only now the club have done these because of the success the associaton have had with their production.

People have been calling for this for years. I have for starters and bought one made by a company in Bradford about 7 years ago because the club didnt do one.

If the club have missed out on sales it's their own fault.
