I assume the Marie Curie Cancer care in place of Mecca Bingo and Warriors in place of Worthingtons on the back is because of French TV advertising regulations?
I'd love to be able to get hold of one of these designs, hope the club do a limitied run.

Yeah it is because the advertisement of alcohol and gambling it banned by French TV.

Last year they auctioned the shirts off for charity so will probably do that again

It is pretty pointless as the fans are all stood there and being shown on TV advertising Mecca. Silly French :)
