Meh, I started in 1990 (during the cup run, not when it was already in the cabinet). Bite me :D
That guide should really read 'any Kiwi that doesn't already have a team should support Blackburn Rovers or West Ham United for obvious reasons if they're a mouth-breathing hyper-patriot who cares little for football (although more Rovers because Ryan actually plays for them)'

Fixed that for you.
Seriously, if you're going to support a big team in a far-off land, it should be because you like their style. Shirts are the most durable part of a team's identity - just pick the ones that dress the best, and then invent some more dignified reasons for adoring them.
