New shirt thread/Elvis link (no shirts yet)

It is our own they just copied it

Not sure that’s true, i thought both fans adopted it during the same time just after Elvis death.

Without reading the whole thread when is this due out?

Last seasons blue one is a modern classic .

My favourite away top. Seemed to be incredibly popular in and around the city and stadium on the final day.

Hull did drop the song for a good few years, before picking it up again.
They are a small club in a rugby league area who have only had 4 seasons in their entire history in the top flight, and WMS will always be associated with SAFC.

I just took it as an attempt at smart arse grammar pedantry which I do really dislike, and while I still don't entirely rule that out you've either styled it out really well or it was an audacious bit of wit on your part and I've misread it entirely and done you a huge disservice.

I think this sentence is far too long. You should maybe consider not using 'and' so much, and use more full stops.

Jailhouse rock on BbC 2 now

Heard something about a chain of Elvis themed steak houses opening around the city.

They will be for people who love meat tender.

Really need the 'like a river flows' verse to become standard as part of our singing it as well, really build to a crescendo, prolong the whole ground choir. Fitting that the club is on the balls of the River Wear that 'flows surely to the sea' as well. Words on the big screens for a few weeks until everyone gets it?

Like the Wear flows,
Surely to the sea,
Sunderland, so it goes,
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,
Take my whole life too,
For I can’t help
Falling in love with you

Sing that loud and proud and that’s hairs on the back of the neck standing up time

Cryptic email just sent by Sunderland.

An Elvis Presley inspired away kit?

Says Episode 1, do you think we see some kind of Elvis related inscription (like CITY BY THE SEA) running across all 3 shirts?

Love it. Can anyone on here with connections to the club get this up on the big screens karaoke style for the first few home games.

hope there’s a ‘TCB’ incorporated.. pretty cool motto for the club at the minute.

KLD, RLB, TCB

I’m getting all shook up

 

[El Gen]

hearing we have a scotland mini tour pre season featuring a game v Aloha Athletic

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

With Hull City coming up and having the same song as us, it’s a great opportunity for us to really claim it as our own.

I think if you asked a thousand random football fans “which club has wise men say as their theme tune?”, I reckon 989 would say Sunderland and 10 would say Hull and a Liverpool fan from Surrey would have no idea whatsoever

Typical rubbish communication from the club - they need a little less conversation a little more action.

 

[nowtgoodeverhappens]

Like the shirt. Do we get rid of the noxious, unlucky black strip?

Leeds Leeds Leeds!

This is Hull's, they can't gaslight us into thinking it's owt else.
