As are those that buy things just because they have a Wigan badge on.

If someone doesn't like the new kit or the new training wear (for whatever reason) why should they buy it?
Personally, I buy retro tops as opposed to the new stuff as it's usually way over priced and I hate the way t-shirts have sponsors all over them like an advert. Does that make me "embarassing"

Not sure what the eye roll was for?
Calling someone a lesser fan because of how they choose to spend their own money is a bit laughable. If someone doesn't like something, why should they have to buy it?
Personally I think replica wear (shirts might just be acceptable) should be for kids. Being a grown adult, & walking around in full club tracksuits isn't for for me. That however doesn't make me a "lesser" fan than others and it certainly doesn't give me the right to judge others on how they spend their money.

That’s your opinion. I’ll buy the new shirt next season, it’s the only memorabilia I will buy. I buy it exactly because it’s got the Wigan badge on it, irrespective of whether I like the badge or not.
The eye roll was at the comment stating fans who do just that are as embarrassing as those throwing a temper tantrum vowing never to buy anything again purely because they’ve thrown the toys out the pram. I’m amazed you think both are equally as embarrassing to be honest.

I’m not saying they should but to purely base it on the fact they’ve thrown a strop over the badge is embarrassing. I’m into the retro stuff, it’s good clobber, I agree re the sponsors, I prefer my shirts basic as the once were but times have changed.
And no, it doesn’t. I never insinuated it did

That’s not what I said but hey let’s continue to be obtuse. Using your mantra let’s roll an Ellgreen logo in dog poo, paint it cherry and white and sell to people like you!

It isn't no, but is what I was referring to.
If fans decide not to buy something because they don't like it you have referred to them as embarrassing. However those who buy something whether they like it or not "because it's Wigan" are perfectly fine and seemingly better fans?
Oh, and if I don't like the kit......I won't buy it whether it's Umbro, Puma, Ellgren or Hummel. Apologies if that makes me a fan.

Who mentioned judgemental or non judgemental?
As for the right to judge how people spend their money, has 100% warrior not done that by referring to them as embarrassing?

Once more;
Those fans who refuse to buy it because they’ve thrown a paddy over it vowing to never buy anything from the club again over a badge are embarassing.
Those who won’t buy the new shirt because of the badge but will buy other merchandise because it’s Wigan, aren’t.
I never said it made anyone a bad fan. I said embarrassing. But if the boot fits, feel free to wear it.

| But why would they buy it if they don't like it? It doesn't matter whether they don't like the kit because it has a crap looking sponsor logo, is a crap design or they don't like the badge. They don't like it, so why should they spend £45+ on it?

| BTW I haven't seen anyone say they will stop supporting the club because of the badge, which I agree would be a bit sad.

You still don’t get it do you. I can simplify once more;
Those who refuse to buy [ianything[/i from the club [iregardless[/i of whether it has the new badge on or not [ibecause they’ve thrown a paddy over the new badge[/i are embarrassing.
I can’t make it any clearer or simpler than that.

Who has said that????????
People have said they won't buy things with the new badge on, but who has said they won't buy anything? (Most things will have the badge on BTW)

I wont by one because I dont like the look of new badge, looks cheap , I dont like the look of it so wont be bbuying any merchandise, not because they have changed the badge its because I dont like the look of it.

Can’t argue with any of that. Exactly how I feel.
