broady and peter g (“ better reflect the times we live in” & 'How long will this post stay about England.'),
Trying to stay within the topic of this thread, it might have other reasons than 'political correctness', which I think that broady is pointing at rather than certain other reasons - but, before broady considers having a go at me, I do not mean anything negative by what I am saying. What could be an added reason of the change is: MONEY.
A common marketing strategy - and has been for quite a number of years - is to change the 'strip' of the team every season and sometimes, twice in one season; sometimes, both home and away strips. With some of these 'shirts' costing between 75 and 100 quid (when brand new on the market) and many fans wanting the 'new shirt', it is certainly a 'nice little earner!' and one that Del Boy would have been laughing about in financial glee all the way to 'The Nag's Head' with.
