I find it amusing they once again use the lawyer,a reminder to today’s not so cool kids what they never had

Completely agree with the stuff about today’s not so cool kids.

Funny how the Honest Lawyer has become really desirable – and even funnier that it is actually United central, co-opted for use by the club. The original roots of the Lawyer and United are that it was the weekend drinking home of the often critical Get A Grip Ref fanzine mob (who had their run-ins with the club). Later, of course, it was handed down to the original pre-corporate Flag Day mob.

The exterior of the Lawyer looks tremendous in the video, too, as an aside.

Wrong, it’s not worthless. You’re allowed to have an opinion even if you don’t wear the shirts. In fact, doesn’t not wearing the shirts constitute an opinion on them, of sorts?

I guess so, aesthetic design is pretty subjective but I just hate the dump on a badge without thought attitude,bit like the chains on last season’s abomination.

It’s subjective after the point of basic principle.

And the badge thing is just one of a few ignorant or careless mistakes.

If it’s the details that’s annoying people then it’ll be fine when you’re viewing them from the top tier of the Emirates Stadium.

Even that won’t be far enough to escape eye damage.

I referenced somewhere that John Staff once stopped me to say the claret on my 1950s replica shirt was incorrect. But I certainly wasn’t slagging him off. I respected and admired his knowledge and the fact he cared about these things.

I’ve just had another look. Could that “chevron” in fact be an arrowhead pointing to the sponsors logo? Great marketing!
Need contrasting shorts with home kit, all claret no good.

‘Someone (on here or the Facebook cult page) once slagged John Staff off because he knew the exact ‘pantone numbers’’

I think I asked what the number was in reply to Saleiron. I asked out of curiosity and genuine interest though it did amuse me. I would never slag off John Staff either. Huge respect for him and bought several of his books. In fact I don’t recall anyone on here slagging him off so this is either a misunderstanding or perhaps happened on another site.

It’s pointing at the one pack that makes nearly all people who wear them look ridiculous

There was a few turned on him after he was briefly banned from selling his Raw chickens.

A certain self publicist behind that I think?

It’s definitely a misunderstanding, I remembered the comment incorrectly. However, my actual point, about consistency of the club colours, still stands.
