Thomas Crapper: shite.
I think the One D bubble might have burst.There's loads of their merchandise on sale in the Charity shop in Armthorpe at 18p each.The teeny boppers have moved on.
Firstly I feel I need to point out I have no beef with Tomlinson, fair play to the lad for making millions based on his "talents", I wish I'd done the f**ker. Secondly, I didn't enter the kit competition, I have the drawing ability of a bloke with no hands so no "vested interest" on my part that my design had been overlooked.Lets look at the scenarios: Louis Tomlinson sat on his grandads knee with his crayons out and coloured in an away kit. He submitted this like the rest of us mere mortals and it landed on the desk of someone at the club. At this stage no one thought, "we're running a competition for normal, run of the mill people to win a once in a lifetime trip to Thailand, surely it'd be inconceivable for a f**kING MILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY POP STAR TO WIN?". It got past this stage. Stage two was most likely reviewing the rules, someone must have thought at some point, "you know what, we best exclude people with a connection to the club let's say the lasses in the ticket office can't enter, lest we're accused of rigging it. How about OUR CELEBRITY SQUAD MEMBER who just over a year ago TRIED TO BUY THE f**kING CLUB? Nah, he's fine." Next stage was for a short list of five to be drawn up, no one at this stage thought "We best let SUPER RICH, A LIST CELEBRITY Louis know that, while we appreciate his crayon work, we can't possibly let him win in place of someone who's never likely to travel past Benidorm". So now he's won. Little Timmy Snodgrass from Stainey who excitedly drew his kit and who's life experiences so far stretch to a weekend in Seaton Carew won't have that life changing experience and he'll never be able to tell his kids that he designed a Rovers kit. Meanwhile Tomlinson hasn't even bothered to go on his free trip to Thailand (why would he, he's not likely to fly f**king pleb class is he?) and he will file designing a Rovers kit in his memory as "stuff I've done" alongside playing at packed arenas, f**king women most of us would chew our own arms off to touch and earning his last million quid.Given all this we're to believe that this is all some sort of amazing coincidence? That no one thought that a LT entering was a bit odd or that winning could leave the club with egg on its face? I call absoloute bull shit on that. The club were obviously well aware that LT was likely to win, I dare say they had one eye on potential shirt sales to his rapidly declining fanbase to impress FBT with and fluffed the competition to ensure his kit won. Look at some of the good designs that didn't make the cut such as BJWs or Lee Crofts yet the other four made up of a f**king table cloth and stuff that'd shame Donny Market did? Can anyone remember the reaction by the VSC and on this forum that JR was to enter a kit? People were rightly annoyed and JR has done a metric f**k-ton more for this club than LT is ever likely to.So, we're left with the conclusion that, either the club are so collectively stupid that they didn't see any issues with LT winning this or they hold the fan base in such contempt that they don't give a f**k what the fans think.

While I don't necessarily disagree with your post, I just want to point out John Ryan proposed he submit a design something like the day after the deadline for the entries.
Although I imagine you're making a wider point CiM, I don't mind the home design at all, but in the photo's, the actual shirt looks terrible in the flesh.

I dont know why the club bother trying to get fans involved with things like this.I would let the shirt manufactures design the shirt and let the players decide.
