Anal Maties?

I can see this affecting sales.

They're actually called Animalates, which isn't quite so bad.

Not overly clear whether we're getting any money from this as it's a IL investment. However, as he continues to waive any interest due on the debts he's running up I don't see a problem with this.

Looks a bit tacky on the shirt though.

When I first saw the logo earlier this morning I did not like
it but having looked again it's not so bad.

I like the ethos behind this partnership - health and fitness for kids.

I tend to agree.

Certainly preferable to betting, rip off loans, or foreign exchange. The immoral earnings of which appear to contribute towards propping up the premier.

And the Football League.

But, while I agree with all that, it has to be said that the logo looks a bit shit on our shirts. It's too busy with the strapline at the bottom, and the wrong colour for our new yellow/orange. I suppose it'll look alright on kids, but I can't see many adults wanting to wear a shirt that looks like this.

Agreed, crap logo for the shirt. However, it's no more a kit clash than Kitson's barnet.

I reckon there's a good reason we delayed revealing the shirt and sponsor until after Kitson signed - we didn't want him pulling out of the deal on aesthetic grounds! The three of them make a truly horrific combination!

and what on earth has the natural colour of someone's hair got to do with it? this wouldn't be allowed if it was skin colour or race or sexuality these days. casual bullying of gingers needs to be kicked out of football. go think about what you are saying. and everyone else who thinks this is just 'for laughs'.

Hmm, I can sort of see your point but it wouldn't be tolerated if it was race or sexuality because people have been oppressed and attacked for their race or sexuality, whereas that's never really happened to people with a certain colour hair. Also this joke is about the fact that orange/ginger clashes with yellow, which it does. It's not saying anything about Kitson as a person because he has ginger hair.

I'm sorry to disabuse your ignorant views, but people have been repeatedly bullied because of ginger hair, and two posters have made jest already, with you to add to it. just read the papers and reports of bullying incidents.

or could I say that a black player would blend in with a black kit? is that OK?
