Suprised that no one has mentioned this on this forum yet. There's fairly big projects going on over on RAWK, with this being one of them. Not just an idea, or a pipe dream either. This is a reality and these shirts will be available at the start of next month. So, what do you make of it? The Mancs have their "Norwich" sarves. We have our own kit as a sign of protest. Boycott the new official one, and get one of these instead if you want to make it clear that you want the Yanks out.

Just a detail that can't be seen in this design image is that there is a Liverbird watermarked on the back of the shirt.

I have seen a bit of this on RAWK ER. I like the idea of having a supporters kit but I'm not convinced that targeting sponsors is the best way forward. I'd prefer to see specific targeting of:

1. The owners.

2. RBS who have the ability to call in the loans, and after all are largely owned by us.

I think its more about our standards being corrupted rather than using that (standards corrupted) as us having a dig at the sponsors.
Atleast thats the way Im reading it.

Your right Rush, but you know that a spin will get put on it. I know it isnt targeting the sponsors, but i believe also we need to target the owners or RBS. Maybe someting in the style of an old sponsor logo like candy or carslberg!

Also, the black wont stand out enough in the stadium were the tv cameras will be. A horrible blue maybe?? I know its the anti christ of our club, but we started in blue and it would look crazy at Anfield.

can you buy them anywhere,cos i want one for next Sunday

by **Greavesie** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 6:31 am

well I like it, its a good idea

by **maypaxvobiscum** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 6:57 am

maybe since it is targeting the owners not the sponsor, the "standards corrupted" bit could be in blue and red?

where can i buy it from? it looks good

Is this shirt missing the point somewhat, it seems as though it's aimed out our sponsor more so than our owners.

It doesn't quite read right tbh like fivecups said it needs to be aimed at the owners or RBS more not our sponsor and to the neutrals and the sponsors themselves I think that is how it will be read.

Nice shirt though.

Want to be a tad careful regards immitating or mimicking the sponsors, I'm sure Standard Chartered won't take kindly to something that looks like their sponsorship logo with the word "corrupted" on it being distributed in any numbers

by **In and Out** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:20 am

I've just made a quick mock up that points the finger more directly at our owners.

by **Owzat** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:34 am

Maybe "Scumbags Corrupted" (or "sh'theads corrupted"), alludes to "Standard Chartered" without using either word in the sponsors' name.

And maybe a spear or ice hockey stick through the liverbird's heart as it lay on it's back

And how about blood oozing out of the US flag, although that in itself may cause offence to yanks

That's probably going a bit to far if it reaches the eye of the press or the TV cameras. As soon as Sky or anyone see such abusive language on the shirt that'll be the last time they pan on our shirts.

by **Owzat** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:40 am

Not necessarily the second suggestion, but something that makes it clear who we're talking about and that we don't like them. How about a derogatory reference in their "own language", like "Dumbasses Corrupted"...........?

Reckon the ice hockey stick through the liverbird's heart is a good idea, an object associated with US killing the club emblem and of course the years adjusted to their tenure at the club (instead of 1892)

What about COWBOYS emblazoned on the front and we wear stetsons and arrive on a horse!
