I agree and my son loved having his name on.Dont know how many
took it on but say 200 at £25 is 5k which is excellent revenue idea,
especially with dwindling crowds.

I agree with the away shirt idea. I think it is a good idea to do it if it generated income and it is a good gift but..... the way they just stuck the names on the bottom of the srirt was messy. Would be better having the names faded into the blue hoops so they dont stick out like a sore thumb

I agree with this I thought the writing looking as if it was stamped on cheapened the shirt maybe if it was woven in but that would possibly be more expensive ,however I thought it was a good idea .

I had my name on this years shirt as a gift from my friend which was great. I would love to do it again but wouldn't if it was on the away shirt as I can't afford to buy both shirts and would much rather have the home shirt.

Woven - that would be itch as hell if it had lots of names.

Would you like a better reason than because its easy money and you are almost guaranteed a shirt sale for each name?

Like has been said its a good idea in principal just the design maybe wasnt as well presented as it could have been.

I really wasn't a fan of the shirt. Brought one before the last game as there were heavily discounted and figured as it had my name on it I really should.

Batley have had names on away shirts for a few years. It's more part of the design so isn't as noticeable. But looks ok

Personally I didn't like the names on the shirts, looked like they'd been added as an afterthought,

Re: Home Kit 2014 : Tue Oct 01, 2013 6:43 pm  

A brilliant idea, a good fund raiser, My Grandson and at least 3 of his fellow junior season ticket holders have their names on the shirt.
Hopefully they will continue to do so, keep the shirts over the years and therefore their link to our Great Club.
Grandson wears his dad's 1987 Cup Final trackie top on occasions.
I still have my old style woolen hooped shirt with No 8 on it.

I think one point about the names being on the away shirt was valid. Not many people can afford to buy 2 shirts plus £25 for their name.
Why the away shirt anyway.
Keep it on the Blue and White.
