I understand the merchandising and all that.
But we already have the best jumper. Let's maintain some tradition.
Keep changing the jumper every week and we lose what it represents.
If I supported a half arsed side with an average history and they wore a crap jumper then fine, change it to make a few dollars.
We Are The Navy Blues, not the f@#king Lilly Whites.
Carrots was quoted as saying that he was proud to pull on the Navy Blue jumper. Well of corse he was. Look who's worn that jumper before him. No other club has a list of players like we've had and they all wore the Navy Blue.
I will be in the minority in this debate and I've read nothing thus far to change my view.
I'd rather buy my kids a second Navy Blue jumper than a new white one.
Cause while our side holds up the ladder I'm trying to remind them that once we were great and we will be again. When the kids look through old pictures or tapes the players have OUR jumper on, not some marketing tool.

Who said anything about getting rid of the current guernsey?
The navy blue with white monogram should and probably always remain our traditional No.1 strip. But with all the competition between clubs for members/sponsors we must be seen to be progressive and futuristic so we can appeal to new supporters to get on board.
Maximizing revenue and portraying a progressive, vibrant, new age club,
as well as protecting it's proud history , is what the board should be trying to do and introducing an alternative strip for away games should be part of that.
