Wasn’t the yellow shirt a quick money spinner by ellis when we got to the fa cup quarter final? Who releases a kit in march, only for the badge to change 4 months later.

Whatever it was, I really dislike that shirt as I always associate it with that defeat.

The Queen faced left, and the King faces right. Maybe our future king had a word....

They change direction after each monarchs death.

We'll change the direction of the lion (back to facing left) when Will accedes to the throne. Compromise reached, everyone happy!

Well said BV. When I see that hideous monstrosity of a yellow shirt all I think is cheap cash in and the wasted years and opportunities under Ellis and it makes my fucking blood boil. Like the stand named after him, cheap, shoddy and past its sell by date.

I do realise I should let this go but then my irrational football supporter switch clicks into place and I get as annoyed about this as Wimbledon FC and Newcastle United 93-96 era.

I'm looking forward to seeing the last of that Randy badge. Hopefully the moaning about which way the lion is facing on the new badge will taper off as we accumulate the points.

When things are shit not only is everyone miserable about the football but all other things come into focus. Of course there will be dissenting voices after win our 5th straight CL but the little things will be replaced with why our £70m forward hasn’t scored more than 20 by Christmas.

I think it's 9/10 it's so close to being perfect it just needs that star gone, which was Lerner's doing first.

The colours are nice and vibrant and it looks modern.

I suspect the right-facing lion will quietly disappear in 4-5 years and be replaced by the left-facing lion again. History will be rewritten to pretend the lion never changed, hiding the embarrassment of senior executives who fell for a dumb marketing gimmick.

I doubt it, not when we've worn it during the most successful period in our illustrious history.

If we're going to have a star, then it can go on the back of the shirt,  inbetween the shoulder blades region.

Abso-fucking-lutely! What are we going to do when Unai delivers the 2nd and 3rd ones?! So small time incorporating it that way, implying that we're never going to add to it.
