I thought I'd progressed us on from the days of blurry photos of crumpled shirts on mannequins, but I guess I was wrong. What a shame.

Long distance away from the original proposed idea(s) but I won't let it spoil a great sentiment.

the world has gone mad.

the world has gone mad.

Why do you say that?

[Jenga]

Unbelievable.

[Sale Holmfield]

It has certainly got a lot of good publicity for the club, with the large majority of reaction (but inevitably and unfortunately, not all) being very postive.

I agree Jezza

The publicity on BBC North West Tonight would have been more worthwhile if the club badge hadn't been nudged out of shot.

Not that I saw the programme, but we would not have been on it at all without this initiative. I wonder if it will bring in any new spectators.

For the record, the original concept was tabled by me and HashtagAlty - Idea was to incorporate the LGBT colours into our own stripes subtly as to not wave what we are doing in the face of the public. Think the current home shirt but small pin stripes of colour in between the red and white.

This is what we’ve ended up with. I love the coverage and knew it would be polarising but I’m so disappointed in the product we’ve ended up with. If you’re going to be the first to do something, smash it out the park. It makes us look amateurish. Just like the half and half shirts did. Just like the remembrance poppy shirts did.

Take this statement somewhat critical having generated both Andy. Half/half shirts have been quite popular in the club shop and the poppy shirt generated quite a substantial figure that was donated to the Royal British Legion.

Disappointing that you're trying to score points on this. The shirt idea was discussed following FvH last February.and the design of the shirt is deliberate in that it is in your face. I'm struggling to think of any other occasion where the club has received so much publicity and so far reaching.

Glad you’ve had a good run off our idea.

Ian, you do a stellar job providing shirts on demand for our wealth of sides and I’ve not got a bad word to say about your service as far as that goes.

That being said, the 1/2 1/2 shirts and poppy shirts were deemed atrocious by many people. I’m literally appointed by the club to gauge reaction and opinion to what we do. Let’s have it right, they weren’t great and neither is this LGBT shirt. I’m annoyed here because I provided the club with mockups based on market research from Manchester Pride employees. It’s far too garish. They wanted a subtle nod to their colours.

I’m not really arsed if I’m burning bridges at this point to be honest. It really is about time the club were given honest feedback. I find the shirt embarrassing but the sentiment, again, is fantastic and the reach has been phenomenal. Just a shame we are being covered with a blurry iPhone photo as opposed to the professional content I am supposed to be providing the club.

OR...we could just celebrate the idea that club - whoever came up with the idea and design - has done something inventive, imaginative, innovative and has given the club some excellent publicity.
