So the Retro Ricki is now obsolete, after a long as glorious reign as our most popular tee.

As a bit of off-season fun, any suggestions for a replacement? Does it depend who the new coach is, or should we base it on something else?

Base it on the club itself, not the coach or the owner.

Not really a replacement of the RR, but I was thinking that the YF could produce a range of t-shirts showing famous quotes but attributing them to Phoenix players.  eg,

I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars. The rest I just squandered - Troy Hearfield
I wouldn't say I was the greatest coach in the world, but I was definitely in the top 1 - Ricki Herbert
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that - Cleberson

the one problem I can see woth attributing "quotes" to players is that the players may not liek it and YF could get into some trouble if the "quotes" were viewed as derogatory or slanderous - but we do need a new YF themed T.

Whatever we choose for fever tee ideas is it possible to get at least one design made in a female tee?  I had a few random ladies asking me about the possiblility through the season (clearly they thought I had more power than I do).  Am more than happy to canvas the population to see if it's worth it...etc...

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.
