You've got to love PP marketing dept. One of the best around.
Shame it's a joke. I thought it looked good. The first 'sash' shirt. I bet the away version is even better. :thumbup:
I saw a mocked up version of the way kit. It was pink with the words 'Hen Party' written on the sash .Quote:

Probably will only be worn for a pre-season friendly or two as an advertising stunt. Can't see this being a permanent thing.
The amount of advertising of gambling companies in football now is obscene. It definitely needs to be more heavily regulated.
Every single ad break at half time is for a gambling company.
It's a joke. The FA have the cheek the criticise it when they had an official gambling partner (as did the EFL). That's stopped now, thankfully but it's so deeply ingrained it'll take a hell of lot to reverse it.Quote:

It's PP. It was always going to be a stunt.Quote:
