It's ironman :D

Hope so - they sort of give away a couple of hints in the vid - one is obviously captain America cause he is holding a shield. There are 2 that look like they could be in a lab which sort of indicates the Hulk and maybe Spiderman. One is kneeling which could be Thor, but the other guy is just standing there.

I was hoping for Aquaman - the greatest superhero of them all.

Nah the kneeling one is iron man. Its his signature pose. Maybe Manly could be Magneto

There are five clubs involved, there are five male Avengers.

There won't be Spider-Man or any X-Men because Marvel doesn't own their film rights.

Manly will be Hawkeye because they both wear Maroon and hawk/eagle

So how do the film rights impact it? Does ISC and the league need to get rights from MARVEL/Disney to go ahead with this? The title says MARVEL Heroes - not MARVEL/Disney affiliated heroes.

Otherwise they could have just called it "Avengers week". Seems a bit silly if they can't utilise the full range of Marvel heroes due to film rights. Afterall, the Marvel comics combine all of them - film restrictions should only affect the films, nothing outside of that.

Do you mean f**k it up more?

As much as I'm not of the superhero groupie persuasion, it is an easy sell. Kids like this shit. If it gets a few of them putting their xbox controllers down for 80 minutes, who knows, it might attract a few to our fanbase.

There's an opportunity for dollars here for Doust. Advertise it (he probably won't, apart from ISC self promotion), have the jerseys available in the weeks leading up to the game (not traditionally a strong point of our marketing department) and aim this at the target audience (kids, nerds).

In similar initiatives historically the club has had an eP1c f@iL in capatilising. This will be no different.

You guys for real? It's one game in 2014. It's not like they are replacing the jersey for good. Who cares? It's a bit of fun and hopefully a way to generate some much needed cash.

Well Dez I don't like it, but I understand the reasons for it ... $$$.
I just long for the unadulterated Red V/jersey and the old unique badge.
Whatever the jersey equivalent is of a Luddite, that's what I am.

P.S. What does The Pig think about it?

Hahahaha.
You're too quick on the trigger for me Dez.
How in the f**k did you get that done so quickly? Or was it a matter of 'Here's one I prepared earlier'?
