"Pink" Test match
« on: January 04, 2011, 10:17:36 AM »

Is it just me or does anyone else find the "Pinkness" of the Sydney test match very touching - that a nation can get behind one of its heroes in such a big way. As an old friend of Alty I wish Glenn McGrath every continuing success with his fund raising for a great cause.

Maybe Alty can have a pink away kit sometime to also raise awareness of Breast (and other?) cancers?

It's dead easy to make your own pink away shirt

Just take a curent away shirt and stick it in the wash with some cheap red T shirt and hey presto !  !  ;D

A pink away kit to raise awareness for breast cancer is a superb idea, maybe even just for one season. The small ribbon could also be included as a picture, perhaps under or above the club badge

i think the ribbon should be in the middle - so youd have - thing sports - ribbon - alty badge across the top

If the club didnt want an entire new kit - they could add like a pink "band" to the sleeve - similar to the black armband but on the shirt

Palermo's kit is one of my favourites......that would make a great Alty away kit.

That is a quality kit - and also compared to recent away kits - this white is a bit boring IMO

:D partly because yellow is my favorite colour

For those who havent seen palermo's kit http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/images/product/large/PalermoHSS0809.gif here it is

Maybe even have the kit 'sponsored' (for free)  by the McGrath Foundation
