DI Keith Fowler Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) https://twitter.com/England_RL/status/1511356592050130951 It would appear Oxen are at it again. This time looks confusingly to be a Clive Sullivan themed shirt for... England. Edited April 5 by DI Keith Fowler 1 2 I was born to run a club like this.

Oxen have their own twitter account though, which hasn't promoted this jersey yet. This is even being sold through the England merchandise webpage. If Oxen wanted to do something to celebrate Clive Sullivan, then great. But it seems odd to associate it with the English national team. If they wanted to promote a product with England, they should have chosen an English RL personality. It seems to me that it is the usual belittling of Welsh contributions to RL by implying England and GB are synonymous.

Odsal Outlaw Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) 95% of the time Oxen do cheap tat, maybe we should cut them some slack on this … I don’t think it’s necessarily done as England but assume the RFL own the GB rights so can release this stuff. At least it’s cotton, looks ok quality. Ensuring ongoing use of the current GB logo is I think important. Not sure on the black colour choice, feels quite basic to say Clive was black so the shirt is? But Oxen have done worse and at least RFL are marking the anniversary of a legend.

Why do Oxen cheapen everything they touch? My first reaction too. Cant help but think it feels a little jarring to be celebrating the historic achievements of a black sportsman by releasing a black shirt. And then of course there's the use of England for this, which is the same nonsense we get when conflating GB/England teams. "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart."

The Magic Weekend kit phenomena is truly baffling. It's short-termism. Why would you want to establish your brand in the sporting consciousness when you can flog a few shirts to your already existing fan base? I know some are for charity purposes. But even Liverpool FC have a 'charity sponsor' every season replaced on the existing design of their kit. Football is truly the master of minimalist, simple designs based on preserving continuity. Though I can't think of many other team sports where every team would decide to abandon their colours on the big stage.

DI Keith Fowler Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 To be fair I can guarantee they'll sell a good number of those. We've had red away shirts that veered very close to being Liverpool shirts before and had Everton fans refuse to buy them. I was born to run a club like this.
