Say no to the new kit

[Ferrrrnando]

Excuse my ignorance, but has anyone heard much more about this?

I think it's a cracking idea, but today is the first time i've heard about it and that was only by chance.

To: The Liverpool Football Club Board, and Potential Financial Backers of Tom Hicks We, the loyal supporters of Liverpool Football Club, have had enough of the boardroom saga for control of our club. We have staged protests and we have made banners, but the time has now come to take our efforts to the next level.

As we were made aware by the club this week, Adidas and Liverpool plan to unveil the new 2008/2010 kit next Friday, April 25, 2008. The undersigned of this petition have agreed to boycott this item, and refuse to purchase it until Tom Hicks and George Gillett are out of our club. We understand that the loss of potential millions of pounds will hurt the club in the short-run, but it is also true that this will hurt the current owners in the only place that matters to them – their wallets. We will always support our team, but until Tom Hicks and George Gillett are out of club, we will not purchase this item.

We refuse to accept the role of being a money-maker for Tom Hicks and George Gillett’s entertainment businesses. We refuse to accept the debt placed on our club despite promises to the contrary. We refuse to accept the owners’ ineptitude and incompetence regarding our new stadium. We refuse to accept the spin coming from Tom Hicks' PR department. We refuse to accept the disgraceful public image these two have given our club in the global press. And lastly, we refuse to accept Tom Hicks and George Gillett as custodians of our storied, and beloved club.

Sincerely
The Undersigned

hmmmm, personally i think this is Bollocks.
I will support LFC no matter who is in charge, and I will support them in a manner that I deem appropriate.
Boycotting merchandise is ludicrous, as it will have a detrimental impact on the club in both the short and long term. Sponsors would not be happy, and this can cause a ripple effect. At the same time IF some cash generated from the sale of merchandise goes towards securing a decent signing there is a chance of us missing out!

I believe that anyone who intends boycotting the kit, should not be hypocritical, and should boycot ALL merchandise, games, eseason ticket membership etc etc.....and that will end up hurting the individual the most.

FFS we may not like who is in charge, but these sort of things are only going to make them even more intent on going further. It's nothing new, they are not idiots and know how the vast majority of fans feel.

i personally have reservations about this,1 i like the new kit and by buying it am i really puttin money into hicks/gillets pocket or make that much of a impact as him to go oh **** look...

and ive always thought that shirt sales and stuff like that went towards transfer funds for the team so in theory the only people this will harm is the team and that iam not gonna do....

if i genuinly thought that by me not buying a new shirt its in some way gonna make the yankies leave quicker then yes i would,but this is a stuborn redneck we talkin about here who by rights should of left awhile back but is still here still sayin i can do this so no matter how many people do or dont buy shirts its not gonna make 1 bit of difference

[Ferrrrnando]

Very valid points chaps. However, every little sceptisism that enters the yanks minds will make them think longer about prolonging their stay at the club. 2500 voters so far agree.

i seriously dont think what ever we do is gonna make them change there minds.i have friends state side who have said hicks is as stuborn as the come,he was hated when he took over the texas rangers and the dallas all stars,he came in changed stadiums,upped prices and was hated but withing 5 years of him takeing ownership he had won the world series in there respected fields and thats when they all started to love them.....now he will keep thinking like that but he dont no what we r like and he dosnt care,he has been warned to stay away from games by the merseyside police for his own saftey but he still comes...

stubornness is whats got us here in the 1st place

I think it's a really bad idea to be honest.

Are these same people gonna stop paying for a match ticket to go to the game,
because it would be slightly hypocritical if not.

Stop buying food and drink at half time aswell while your at it.

Load of bollocks.
