The kit design could never be accused of Being Boring. If I was a Palermo fan I\'d be wondering What Have I Done to Deserve This? How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?
The board must have thought \"I Wouldn\'t Normally Do This Kind of Thing\" but It\'s Alright - it\'s all about Opportunities (Let\'s Make Lots of Money), and at least it will pay the Rent.
Wish they'd have a charity name on the kit instead like Barca.
NOT a betting or beer company. Disgusted.
