Should football jerseys just include a black armband as standard?

It seems every game I watch these days they are wearing a black armband! (Although I do just watch the premier league) Why not just include it into the design of the new 2020 jerseys! :pac:

Health and safety won’t allow it.

This commemoration lark should be done away with.

The Ballybrack F.C. "tragedy" showed up that rubbish for what it is. Standing around in a circle for a minute aping their betters in the English Premiership

Church on Tuesday

There's just been an unprecedented amount of tragedy over the course of the season from the Sala incident to the Leicester City owners death in the helicopter crash.

Don't see what the problem is TBH.

They're for Eric Harrison. The "Class of '92" coach.

There does seem to be a fettish for death in football. Every week there is a minutes silence/applause/arm bands.

The FAI are the worst for it. I remember they went on an 11 game streak for a minutes silence/applause for home games. It was only broken up because they had 2 home games in the space of a couple of days.

I watch a lot of cricket, rugby, American football. The last minutes silence I remember of any of those sports was when the Munster Coach died.

Before some smart arse gets there before me. There was a minutes silence before the India v Australia cricket match today. Bad timing :pac:

It's a blight on sporting occasions. Plus, in an ever increasing world of "try not to offend", clubs will be petrified not to have a mins silence for the kit man's mother or the director of footballs niece...

There's one particular Merseyside club that loves any excuse for a commemoration enough said.
