why is official football merchandise so shit?
strip designs are ghastly...
...all the odds and sods are mingin.
put your partisan affiliations aside for a minute: under what other circumstances would you don a hideous lurid nylon t-shirt, or a ghastly piece of lee-shur wear that looks like it has been made - and probably has been - through the addition of food dye to the tears of a blind asian orphan slaving in some dickensian hell.
it's not that football apparell is intrinsically shit - although it does start at a disadvantage - the likes of kenny prove that you can produce football related clobber that doesn't make you look like a ****.
so what's wrong with those who commission the official stuff?
and especially; when did strip design descend from the creation of timeless iconography into the output of garish horrors that look like they were conceived from laurence lewellyn bowen and tracey emin getting jiggy in an industrial sized food blender.
