    The simple answer to that Katch is no he hasn't & he really hasn't.

    The new home kit is perfect for fans of Ipswich, Millwall or Gillingham.

    It makes me laugh that you honestly think that Chansiri wanted to homage a kit from the early 60s - it's absurd. Let me tell you what likely happened, Chansiri wanted you in an all blue shirt, probably due to some strange Oriental superstitious reason. He gets counsel from some club apparatchik about how to do this without upsetting the natives too much. It's so transparent Stevie Wonder can see it.
    And the badge? How did he wipe his backside on the traditions of the club with that one?

    From the day Chansiri took control, he stated he would protect the traditions of the club and that's exactly what he's done and will do leading up to our 150th anniversary and beyond. Thai culture is all about respecting tradition.

    As I said, the ones moaning about the shirt were still queuing up to buy it in record numbers on Sunday so it can't be that bad.

    It makes me laugh that you are really running with this but I suppose it helps distract you from what's going on at the sty....you know, having to endure signings from the renowned footballing hotbed of Oldham (think we took the last one!) and the predictable start of season struggle to hold onto your best player before selling him on deadline day.

    Meanwhile, at S6, Chansiri continues to provide the financial clout needed to challenge at the top of this division. We can play in crop tops and flip flops for me if it means we get promoted!

    Thought you would have mentioned Chesterfield.

    Is it worth trawling back through your posts to see what your opinion was of how your chairman was treating your club when he abandoned your dominant colour of red almost completely and as a result you had away teams coming to your ground and playing in red while you played in white?
    Or was that a justified traditional throwback? At least he has backed up his decision with moving the team forward in the psst few seasons though eh.....

    For as long as I can remember Wednesday's TRADITION has been to wear a shirt featuring clear blue and white stripes. This new shirt isn't respecting tradition at all rov, no matter how hard you try to spin it.

    I was quite favourable to last season's kit, a bit gimmicky maybe but a genuine and sincere dip into our history. I'm happy to say I'm not anally retentive enough to have been apoplectic that some visiting teams wore red.

    I think he forgot about them because of a certain Danny Wilson
    And as for more Blue teams who could wear this shirt... Portsmouth, Birmingham, Cardiff, Oldham, & Peterbrough to name a few.

    The first kit I can actually remember us playing in was the blue shirt with white sleeves, we had that for seven years, I was 9 when we first had it & 16 when we went back to stripes so it was the kit I'd always known really, I liked the stripes when we got them back but it did feel strange watching them play in a shirt I'd never really seen before...I don't particularly like this new pinstripe shirt & maybe would have preferred going back to blue body/white sleeves if anything but lets just say we never go back to stripes, we will get over it, tradition or not...I don't think it will come to that but if it does the club moves on, new generation fans will think it's normal.

    The answer to your question can be extrapolated from my previous posts. The badge was a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down.

    You're coming across like a club stooge again rov. I'm confident in saying that the majority of Wednesdayites on this topic agree with me.
