Hartlepool United: cashing in on Remembrance Day

[The Albanian]

Ignoring the fact that the shirts are absolutely f***ing hideous, I’m not sure our grandfathers died so tinpot football clubs could sell commemorative shirts.

This is very not good

That’s a bit rich with all you Albanians over here ripping us off.

Assuming a percentage will be going to charity, loads of companies do it.

The whole poppy thing has gone totally out of control. What should be a moment of quiet reflection has turned into a grotesque willy waving contest

why is wales coloured the same colour as west germany on that map?

Those shirts are an absolute disgrace

Maybe a good initial idea, but horrific execution. It’s like a primary school ‘design a football shirt’ competition entry

No mention of any proceeds going to charity on either that link or on the website

Seems like a very brutal cash grab

Yeah I noticed that, hopefully just an oversight. Otherwise though it's definitely bad craic.

What charity should it go to?

 

[Cypher]

On another note why have they got a wide range of H'ANGUS merchandise?

What is remotely good about hanging a innocent primate.

So we can’t even wear a poppy now? Probably racist?

 

[PeteFTM]

Surely a poppy/union jack on the sleeves would have been enough?

I wear a poppy, but the whole thing has been hijacked for years now by dick swinging political statements attached to it. Wear a poppy or don't, I don't give a fuck.

Also, there's a good twitter handle called poppywatch that points out the insanity around it all:

You laugh but it’s becoming very unfashionable to be patriotic in this country.

Thank Mr. McClean.

Be carnage if he signed for them and had to wear the shirt!!
