Alec Summers a contributer to the Liverpool FC site KopBlog has organised a petition and called on supporters to boycott the new Liverpool 08/09 kit.

The new liverpool 2008-2009 kit is planned to be unveiled on Friday and the petitions organiser feels that fans should refuse to purchase it until current Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have gone from the club.

The petition states:

We, the loyal supporters of Liverpool Football Club, have had enough of the boardroom saga for control of our club. We have staged protests and we have made banners, but the time has now come to take our efforts to the next level.

As we were made aware by the club this week, Adidas and Liverpool plan to unveil the new 2008/2010 kit next Friday, April 25, 2008. The undersigned of this petition have agreed to boycott this item, and refuse to purchase it until Tom Hicks and George Gillett are out of our club. We understand that the loss of potential millions of pounds will hurt the club in the short-run, but it is also true that this will hurt the current owners in the only place that matters to them - their wallets. We will always support our team, but until Tom Hicks and George Gillett are out of club, we will not purchase this item.

We refuse to accept the role of being a money-maker for Tom Hicks and George Gillett`s entertainment businesses. We refuse to accept the debt placed on our club despite promises to the contrary. We refuse to accept the owners` ineptitude and incompetence regarding our new stadium. We refuse to accept the spin coming from Tom Hicks' PR department. We refuse to accept the disgraceful public image these two have given our club in the global press. And lastly, we refuse to accept Tom Hicks and George Gillett as custodians of our storied, and beloved club.

The Bhoy   |2008-04-21 Don't act as if all Americans are like these cunts. These lads are just regular auld arseholes. They could be any nationality, it just happens they are from the US. Have a little bit of respect and don't act as if the American people are all scum bags because believe me I know A LOT of English scum bags Reply | Quote

lo   |2008-04-21 I don't care if Gillette is still in charge. i think his vision is respectable. I can see that Gillette wants this club to grow before he banks with the team. However Tom Hicks should definitely leave. Hicks is all about the benefits now...and then. FUCK TOM HICKS!!! Reply | Quote

Rafa The Waiter   |2008-04-21 Shoulden't the idea be not to renew your season tickets? Scousers with another 'campaign for justice' shock horror. Reply | Quote

Ryan   |2008-04-22 Won't make a jot of difference if they don't sell one single shirt anywhere in the UK, because they'll sell by the barrowload in Asia and elsewhere. Reply | Quote

Funky-Mo   |2008-04-23 I only get a Liverpool shirt if we've won something major in it - for memories sake - so it makes no difference coz i don't see us winning anything next season, yanks or no yanks! Reply | Quote

Anonymous   |2008-05-20 What a joke, I almost feel bad for these naive idiots that would put such a silly idea out there. As if a few shirts in the UK is anything more than a grain of sand on a beach to these guys (and BTW Adidas, and shops that sell the shirts, would lose more than the club). Like infants in a crib staring out, wonder how the world goes round. Thanks for a good laugh. Reply | Quote

EL Nino  - Chavs   |2008-05-20 Bravo moscow that was some rant there, also its good to see that your not to bitter about the mancs taking 2 trophys off you this season because lets face it you don't stand a chance againts man utd, shame because if we had of got through we would of give them a serious test. But never mind you can always pop down to Liverpool were we have 5 European trophys you can see. Keep waving those plastic flags at the libary because who knows maybe one day chelsea can be half the club we are YNWA Reply | Quote

Anonymous   |2008-07-12 always big arse ceos like all this NFL wankers get all the things that make big funds just look over other clubs they buy them and now they have a BIG CHEQUE in their hands!!!! Please this is unnecesary until we don't go to Anfield (It's hard to believe but is the Fucking true) and we donīt buy their shitty kits. Reply | Quote

R  - R   |2008-07-14 Boycotting the kit won't force them out, but it will decrease profit margins and that will scare them. If we are to force them out we have to cut the flow of cash in its totality. Boycott all official LFC merchandise. Reply | Quote
