Portland Bill Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Recieved 2 new shirts for my boys at the weekend, but there is no Blackthorn on the back of the shirts ?.Does anyone know why this is ? could it be that the junior/youths shirts are not allowed to have alcohol sponsors on them :Confused13: ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey_BCFC Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Probably something to do with the fact that is would be highly strange for children to parade around sporting a cider maker on their backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevolution Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I agree with the decision, kids walking around with Blackthorn on their backs is a little wrong in my opinion. Myabe City can get something like apple juice on the back of theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 25, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 What happened when we had Blackthorn on the front of our shirts a few years back - sure I had a kiddies shirt with it on - come to think of it that was when I had my first pint of Thorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cideriuplandlord Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ridiculous.

Dollymarie Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Last years home kit had blackthorn on the back I just went and grabbed one of the kids in my class by the collar to see if it was a kids one, as it has blackthorn on the back.Must have just changed it this year. My ladies fitted one has blackthorn on it, even thought ive never had a pint of blackthorn in me life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eamer Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 maybe the text would have to be made a lot smaller to print on the smaller shirts properly and as it is made smaller the letters become a lot more thin and liable to break up when printed on?

Scott Murray is his favorite player and I wanted to get the name and number put on for him. When I asked about this in the shop, they said they could do the number but not the name. The reason for this was that with the Blackthorn logo taking up space, there wasn't enough room for the lettering on the smaller child's shirt. Maybe that's why there is no 'Blackthorn' on the back of your boy's shirts? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Actually I had the same trouble when I got my fitted ladies England shirt I only wanted "dolls06" on it, but it wouldnt fit in the ordinary lettering size, luckily JJB had the lettering for the kids shirts so they put that on it instead.
