Pretty In Pink

Posted by Luke on October 17, 2006 5:17 PM | 

I don't like to boast, but once again I will. Thanks to my powerful argument regarding the pros of men wearing pink the Newcastle Falcons have sold out of their fetching new away kit.

The club have informed me that they will be getting a new batch of the shirts in sometime later this week so please be patient all you big pink wearing girls out there.

Seriously, though, the shirt was made in conjunction with Cancer Research UK and sales of the top, superbly sported by Jamie Noon as he dived over the try line against Lllanelli Scarlets last week, has already rasied more than £6,000 for the cause.

A price worth paying for fashion don't you think?

Don't they paint prison cells pink in the States to have a psychological calming effect on inmates? perhaps it works on the opposition: Now if Newcastle United could adopt black and pink striped shirts and pink shorts we might pick up a few more points or at least have somthing to point at and laugh at as the good ship Shepherd sinks slowly in the sunset.

When I was a child, my mother washed my beloved Newcastle shirt with a red football sock.... Black & Pink WILL make people laugh at us (more than they already are!)
Can we start a protest against Shepherd on Thursday night? Luke, if there are any comments you would like to make about said Fat Man,I will be your mouthpiece and you can use my name. I've already requested tea & scones at the Manor with Fred, so I eagerly await his response....
