sglosbcfc Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Can I just say I like the t shirt, I think it looks quite stylish with jeans as Joe Williams is modelling.

IAmNick Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I actually don't care too much if they want some weird or wacky designs or whatever, but I wish they'd do some basic ones first. Why you can't just get a red, white, or black t-shirt or polo with just the badge, or "Bristol City", or "One team in Bristol", or "City" or something on it in a reasonably normal font, no giant dates or phrases or slogans or artistic swishes and lines or whatever I don't know. Maybe I'm just boring, but I'm in my mid 30s and would wear that, I don't really want any of the kit or the "lifestyle" onyego stuff, I just want a relatively normal top which represents my club.

The problem is, that this whole thread has nothing to do with the brand, it’s just another excuse to moan about JL and our football club. Do you think anyone outside of this football club gives a simple shit about a T-shirt? Let alone one that’s isn’t even that bad. I don’t mean to be a grumpy a-hole recently, but I’m just getting a bit fed up with the constant bashing of this football club. To be honest I haven't paid much attention to it but I do feel sad that we've got such a poor kit supplier, especially after the quality and design of Hummel. I guess it's just a cumulative effect, of one bad thing after the other. The club is for the fans after all and people want to spend their cash on merchandise which frustrates people if it's not available or it is bad/poor quality. It is a reflection of the club.

And worse still - everyone around you knows what you're doing and doesn't respect anything you do or you at all. Never want to be in that situation. Yes we do to an extent. I’m just replaying stuff I’ve heard. He appears to have gone from not wanting to take the club on (the move to Bermuda / SL originally looking for a buyer) to saying he wants to be CEO. If I was SL, I’d say “go and prove you’re capable”. Maybe that’s what he’s doing, and SL has given him GM and TR as support. But from the outside looking in he seems to want to be too involved with “creative stuff”, which appears to be his true passion, rather than doing the hard-yards of a CEO. He said something the other day which sounded like / paraphrased “I like the glory bit of football”. I did make a note, but thought it churlish to post. And on the creative stuff, it might be his passion, but is he any good at it? I’ll let others better placed critique that part…although there has been mixed results imho. And much easier to run that under the Bristol Sport umbrella and access into the sporting network that starting from scratch outside without a safety blanket. And your last part…well that goes with the territory. You wanna be CEO of a £30m revenue / £60m cost business, then it comes with some shitty stuff too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 If theres one person thats inspired me, someone who is a maverick thinker, someome who does that to the old codgers on OTIB, then, it's John Lansdown. Because Jonno will happily say "that's what I think of your football clubs heritage, yes I've enjoyed the odd Thatchers, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm knocking up some shit kit designs with my crayons" 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw a lorry with 'Passionate about logistics' on the back. To which my response was 'you need to get out more'. Still, lots of people claim to be 'creatives' these days without much evidence of what they create or if it's any good so Jon's with the zeitgeist there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
