Kit Launch at Doncaster Sheffield Airport

[The Crab]

Not sure I believe that last bit.

Wherever he lived, Robin Hood is a stupid name for an airport.

Quite apt when you consider the "Duty Free" prices in a typical airport shop.

 

[Kenilworth]

Maybe I was letting the poetic licence run away somewhat

Robin Hood is a bit of a daft name.
It's up their with Wizard's Sleeve.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

I will give this a 2 out of 10 on the doigiveafuckometer

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

McCabe airlines regrets to announce to all Sheffield United fans that their flight to the sunshine will be delayed for another season at least

Please don't ask for a refund

 

[Bladepicker]

You see this is a bug bear of mine.
Who came from Nottingham?
The fucking Sherrif, that's who.
Robin was from Loxkey.
Where's Loxley?
Sheffield.
Loxley Chase was a hunting area set up by the Normans and it stretched from Loxley down to Sherwood.
Robin wouldn't be shitting on his own doorstep. He'd be off pikeying stuff from those soft beggars down in Sherwood Forest and bringing his hoard back up to South Yorkshire for a piss up with the clergy and a bloke who was called little but was actually the great great great great great great uncle of Bob Booker. The bloke is buried in the cemetery at Hathersage. He'd been on the lash at Fox House then Chequers before he tripped and fell on his staff and broke his own fucking neck. The soft twat.

They can claim the Sherrif.


Another little known fact is that Robert Locksley, his real name not his stage name, was a distant relative of Bob Marley who wrote a song, inspired by his forebear, that Eric Clapton went on to have great success with.

Went to a Yorkshire v Notts T20 at trent bridge about 8 years ago and there was a good few hundred Yorkies there. "Robin Hood was a Yorkshireman" was our chant of choice

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Wouldn't he be better off firing the actual t-shirts?

Aye

 

[More Bladier than thou]

So we are launching our new kit in another town, fuckwits !

You may be correct, but the main point of where I was coming from is that when people think of Robin Hood they instantly think of Sherwood Forest/Nottingham, Sheffield just doesn't come to the mind and is probably where the bugbear comes in.

Why not take a leaf out of Ayr United's kit release, painted on. And no I didn't blur the nips!

No, Sherwood Forest & Worksop, ...........................

Nottingham is the Sherrifs domain

Agree with the Bugbear tho'

 

[CarlMcBlade]

It does when you've got Sheffield in the title. It is Sheffield's airport, supported by Sheffield money in Sheffield City region.
The Robin Hood name is irrelevant, how many people call Liverpool airport (John Lennon) or Belfast city (George Best)?

We did the same a few years ago

 

[UpTheClough]

I think its all a red herring driving home today i spotted this near the train station? Or at the very least I do hope we've gone with Nisa as our "official convenience store partner"

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

It's gonna be something lairy & weird.

Oh, for a return to the 70s & our best ever away kit -




Wish I'd been around then to have seen it in the flesh.

Always thought it was a top notch kit. One big downside , we got relegated wearing it.

UTB

Didn't we do that once a few years back?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

We certainly did. The infamous Midas Gold monstrosity. As bizarre a decision as the kit choice was, it was made worse by the decision to hold the photo shoot of the kit launch at a room in the Bramall Lane Hotel.

Be a twat painting it on every Saturday wouldn't it

 

[breeny]

I once flew Ryan Air to Hamburg. It's a good job I was actually going to Lubeck or I'd have been fucked.

Did you watch vfb lubeck? Had a great time there a few years ago.

 

[robbiez666]

It's a sad state of affairs when there are multiple threads about a shirt launch. Also, just shows how tinpot our Chairman is, trying to be the big shot with a big launch but coming off as Alan Partridge.

I didn't, no.

 

[super_pig]

To be fair people were literally pissing themselves with excitement at the kit manufacturer, and they turned out one of our worst ever strips. I'm sure some people are bothered about the sponsor, personally I couldn't care less!

true.. i was one

 

[heeleyblades]

New Sponsor to be announced: FlyBe would be my guessing seeing at its happening via their check-in desk.

Such a lot of whoha for a shirt, some shorts and some socks.

Been in club shop the pm, loads of boxes with labeled jnr sm, Ad, large etc, I presume is the new kit, so all ready in store ready to put out.
