I'm not really sure why they started to drift away from it. Then again, I'm not sure how of a say the club has in the creative process. For all I know Adidas might just present the club with options and they pick the best one. This might not be the case. Maybe the club designs it along with Adidas.
Thanks. They've been promoting the film on the Swansea website, and you can buy the DVD in their store, but I didn't know about this festival or that this film was playing in NYC.This seems like a good place to post this. There is a film festival next week called Kicking and Screening. If you didn't know about it already they are showing this film.

My pleasure. I am up in the air if I go to see that or the satire movie up against it.
This is one of the best football related movies and documentaries that I have ever had the pleasure of watching.This seems like a good place to post this. There is a film festival next week called Kicking and Screening. If you didn't know about it already they are showing this film.

Can we expect another opening match victory like last season against Man U? I think we can do it! Let's go play spoiler again!
I hope we can open with a win. Last year Man U was disjointed at the start of the season. Our late season win against them to complete the double was much more impressive to me even though it was at the Liberty. Beating Chelsea away would be quite a coup. Despite our impressive wins against other top 5 teams, we weren't really competitive against them last year.
I think that both victories over Man U were impressive when you consider how expensive the players on their team are. We should be easily dispatched by top 5 teams if cost of a player indicates his skill level and ability.
Swans sign Eder for £5 million.
lol
I'm rather new to my Swansea fandom so not yet. It's gone on my list but will probably take a few years to make it happen.
I guess a better question to have asked was how did you become a fan of Swansea?
Soccer newbie. Very much so. Old enough to remember Cosoms 1.0 but uninterested at the time. Paid attention to the last few World Cups but nothing in-between. MLS held no interest. At various times considered EPL clubs but nothing stuck. Last year's WC was catalyst for a lot. It helped that the second season of wal-to-wall EPL games on NBC started so soon after the WC. Now it was easier to form attachments outside the Big 4+1. Watched as many games as I could and found myself drawn to traditional mid-table at best teams having above average early success, namely Southampton and West Ham in addition to Swansea. The Saints had an edge because I grew up in a St. Mary's parish and attending a school by that name, but their being so, soo good early in the season actually worked against them. It seemed a bit too front running. Might as well go for one of the top 5 (not true I know, but still). West Ham never really had a chance because I couldn't bring myself to root for something called West Ham, even if the Hammers nickname is way cool.
