Lets look at some of the more pertinant facts, shall we .. I have no beef with him doing his charity work and helping cancer victims, but his sporting/cycling record is tarnished to the tilt.

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/07/322007.shtml

* After Armstrong survived cancer and raced again in 1998, he found himself unable to compete at a high level, and ultimately stopped racing altogether after abandoning a Paris-Nice race exhausted and looking very much as one would expect a man who has undergone cancer treatment to look. At that point, Armstrong went into seclusion with coach Chris Carmichael and emerged the next year to win the Tour de France. In the space of a few months, he had gone from collapsing by the side of the road to handily winning one of the top three cycling races in the world. The label that the press, fellow riders, and amazed fans put on this feat was unanimous: "It's a Miracle

* During the 1999 Tour de France, Armstrong tested positive for cortisone, a banned performance-enhancing drug. The test result, which carried with it an immediate disqualification from the race, was explained away by claiming that it was due to a topical cream legally prescribed to Armstrong. However, Emma O'Reilly, a key staff member of the US Postal team at the time and who was present when the team discussed what to do about the positive tests, has declared to various media outlets that the saving prescription was actually a doctored one fabricated with the express purpose of deceiving Tour officials. O'Reilly, who is a respected member of the cycling community, has nothing to gain with her allegations and has no ax to grind with Armstrong.

* For many years, even as early as 1996, Armstrong's favorite doctor has been Michele Ferrari whom Bicycling magazine calls without hesitation "cycling's doctor most suspected of doping athletes". Dr. Ferrari is currently on trial in Europe for allegedly supplying riders with performance-enhancing drugs. Far from distancing himself from Dr. Ferrari, Armstrong has defended his association with him and gone as far as physically threatening riders who have decided to testify against Dr. Ferrari

* In 2004, reporters David Walsh and Pierre Ballester published LA Confidential, a well-documented retrospective book on how Armstrong has allegedly used illegal drugs to further his career. The book includes extensive interviews with former US Postal team staff members and is but one piece away to be a final indictment on Armstrong: a positive test. Lance Armstrong sued the authors for libel in French courts, but his lawsuit was quickly dismissed. [Note: In other words, his challenge to a book alleging doping on his part was rejected. He could not refute the book's allegations! In addition, the court ordered Armstrong to pay a fine (albeit symbolic) for "abusive procedure" meaning it was apparent that his challenge had no merit! There you have it--that's as close as we'll get to proof of the great Lance Armstrong fraud.]

The sad and harsh fact is the fact he had testicular cancer means his 'records' and ' achivements' are all the more suspicioius ...

Lance Armstrong and what he did have severely tarnished the reputation of the Tour De France and pro-cycling in general (look how many recently have been busted for drug-cheating/taking ...)

I'm sorry but there is just too much evidence out there to imply strongly Armstrong used steriods and other performance and illegal drugs ...

Where there is smoke there is Fire.

I don't agree with everything you have said on this thread. But there is a cloud over Armstrong. We may never know the whole story. I personally believe there has been too many stories for it all to be a incorrect

However for Charity I support this. Now for the amount of revenue going towards the actual charity and not towards expenses, we can only hope Swan and Co. have done the Maths and if the % is unreasonable and someone somewhere is making too much money out of the blues (or yellows) then they shouldn't be going ahead. But we don't know those figure so until our good friend Caroline Wilson writes about this, we will all have to wait and see.

 

[celtic_pride]

Thank Christ there is at least someone who agrees (partially) with me on this issue ..

I swear the way some people have (overreacted in a hysterical way) to my views on Sir Drugalot (Lance lol) you would think I assassinated the Pope or Shot 'Bambi' ...

BTW Those yellow jumpers are hidious and there is no justification for wearing them, even if it is for a good cause, the club can still raise funds for this charity without resorting to that piss-poor (pun intended) hidious jumper.

So this is not you then?

 

[Alpha1]

Hopefully it's not as bright yellow as that. A little darker would be good, and not a black emblem, should navy blue.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Its' meant to be the same yella as the Tour De France colour,
and i can't see black as a secondary colour,
so couldn't see why they can't use Navy Blue in the CFC logo.

However the corporate colour looks more gold than yella,
and if they print the guernseys using digital sublimation,
you'd hope think they could make the colour adjustment.

 

[thylacine60]

Couldn't agree more, Numbers. Will definitely require digital sublimation.

You've been practising this for years haven't you?

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

actually done some Lance merch thru my job.
the livestrong yellow is more of a gold sort of yellow...
not quite the spew material being shown in alot of the attached
jumper visuals....

the livestrong armband is a subtle thing and personally
i'd like to see the navy remain in the current
jumper and the white CFC logo
become the Livestrong yellow. subtle, different, unique.

as for lance critics....
you all sound like the sour grape frogs...

 

[I LOVE THE CFC]

Nike is all about being in your face...attitude, all that promo hype stuff!

The whole purpose of the full change from navy to yellow is to create that wow factor and really turn some heads...much like their awesome kicks do! They really want to get people interested. So that combined with the limited numbers of these jumpers they will move quickly which will help the charities involved.

If they went down the path of just changing the CFC it would not have the effect they are looking for.....

They want this too be BIG!!!

Watch out for some yellow and black boots as well which are completely off the wall!!!!

What did Ray Blur do wrong?

He's got similar form to Bill Posters. Avoid at all costs.

 

[Beloved]

When you put it that way...

*throws up*

In all honesty, I think it's a great initiative by the footy club. It's for a good cause, unlike the horrid M&M jumper *throws up again*. Hopefully it won't look too bad and they manage to raise a fair amount of money.

Won't look too bad? It'll be yellow!

The song doesn't seem to have the same tune anymore. 'We are the yellows....'

Sack Ray Blur, BD!

I think you have a pronunciation problem there and it is the least of your problems.

I think the correct is SUCK Ray Blur.
