BOLTON WANDERERS
MANUFACTURER REEBOK

HOME/AWAY HOME
COUNTRY ENGLAND

It's fair to say that Reebok aren't my favourite manufacturer and this shirt is a good example of why that is. The design of the shirt is average and the quality of the material is more like something from the mid 1990s rather than the mid 2000s. The badgework is heatpressed prints and the actual cut of the material doesn't look all that great. Add to that the fact that in my opinion the Bolton badge design is a pretty nondescript corporate job which looks like someone tinkered with some Microsoft clip art for 10 minutes and you'll be wondering why the shirt is even in the collection in the first place! Well, the fact is that I'm a fan of Bolton captain Kevin Nolan and I'm pleased to have a shirt with his name in the collection, even if it is the poorest shirt to be worn in the premiership for many a long year. Unfortunately for Bolton they're pretty much tied into Reebok shirt until such times as they can get their stadium renamed.
