Good shout - but I've never been 100% convinced that Slash is a) into football b) dyed-in-the-wool Stoke (he was born in North London after all). Ozzy and Geezer are both Aston Born and Geezer is definitely a proper "Villa-n". He once did a pop quiz about his "home" town in an interview and was asked "what is the name of the other football league club from Stoke-on-Trent". He said "wait, there's another one apart from Stoke?" so he gets honorary Stokie status just for that in my book. As for legendary rock bands from Stoke, look no further than Discharge. Not well-known in the mainstream but they are without exaggeration one of the most influential British bands ever. Discharge - if you know, you know. No Discharge = No Metallica/Anthrax/Slayer, etc etc.

Only other Stokey rocker i can think of is Crispin Hunt from the Longpigs? (not rock royalty granted, but solid and underrated) He is a Stoke fan, not sure he was born in Stoke, his (step?)dad was Stoke Labour MP Maybe we could do a video of him sitting at home in the Stoke Kit, scrolling through the transfer thread singing "On & On" Until a couple of years ago there was Guy Bailey (RIP) from the Quireboys. But again, not a household name. To be fair, I didn't recognise Nathan Heaney or Cockney Ted. The chances of me recognising omeone from a band I've never heard of are low.

Sure I read the female member of New Order is a Stoke fan?
Not rock but still pretty cool.

The shirt is decent enough but the peach shorts and socks are a bit.

West Ham / Villa collar. Did we also play in claret and blue 100 years ago? Stoke's earlier colours involved claret and blue quite heavily to be fair. Pretty sure that was the inspiration behind the very underwhelming 150th anniversary kit.

Pressure from kids? What a load of twaddle. If people allow themselves to be pressured into purchasing stuff for their children then that’s their problem.

They can't be under that much pressure if the club aren't making a significant profit from it. And I do have sympathy for parents in the modern world but frankly if you haven't learned to say "no" to your kid having THREE football kits from the same season, you've only got yourself to blame

If mine demanded all 3 kits it’d be a firm ‘no’ Pick one and then maybe have another end of season when they’re £15

I gave my lad a choice, either the away kit or see what the 3rd looked like (this was a few weeks ago). He may get the away kit for his birthday in December but thats if he wishes? Same with my daughter, she will be asked if she wants the 3rd strip as it’s pink.. but I certainly don’t let them be spoilt
