I don't think anyone was flat out refusing to by our new kit simply because it's going to be made by Macron. I never said Macron are incapable of making a nice kit, nor did I say that I definitely won't buy next season's shirt because it's made by Macron. If it's nice, I'll buy it. I just think that Macron are less likely to come up with a nice shirt than Nike or Puma or Umbro or Adidas are. Not because these companies are bigger or more popular, but because these companies almost invariably make nicer football kits.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the general mood in this thread but the impression I got, if I may be so bold as to recklessly categorise everyone into two opposing groups, was that some people (like me) are disappointed that we got Macron, and some people are not.
Of those who are not disappointed, some DO care about what the shirt looks like and are hopeful that Macron deliver on this front, and some don't care about what the shirt looks like. My gripe is with those who don't care, but specifically I was taking issue with posts like hycus-flange's that suggest that people who are complaining about the Macron deal are only doing so because Nike are "cooler":
I can't believe I've just spent the last twenty minutes composing a retort for an argument on a message board involving someone called 'hycus-flange'. This is a low.
nothing low about it, you must really love me, or Nike, personally i couldn't give a **** about you wasting 20 mins collating all these quotes to try and win an argument when you missed the first post I wrote which is the important one, but then again if you did quote that one then you wouldn't have been able to make yourself out to be the victim, are you sure you are not a Liverpool fan, then again if you were, we would be having the same argument as they are ditching the wonderful three stripes for another shitty shirt provider.
