Whats the 'PP' stand for?

 

[Rochdale White]

Whats the 'PP' stand for?

I think it stands for Princeps Pacis latin for Prince of Peace it's a religious thing that's been in the town seal for centuries because Preston means priest town, tho I know some people say it stands for Proud Preston

Will your kit next season include the "smugglers cap' you used to wear in 1876? That would be classy.

 

[Mr Elmo]

Our kit is being released soon...

I thought it just stood for Proud Preston tbh.

Exactly the same as last season but without a collar and with the square bits.

Fine by me, loved last years kit and this is just as good.

Could be worse lads, could be these 'Preston' shirts from the 1880s

Very nice new kit that.

Yeah so did I for a long time until I got given a book about the club's history, at this point tho it might as well stand for Proud Preston cos thats what everyone thinks it stands for and theres not many people who really give a toss about the religious stuff

I'm sure Huddersfield play in blue shorts?

I'm sure we don't!

 

[MagpieBee]

Quite like that. Not much you can do with plain white but this is very tidy

 

[JJH]

Think that 'Just Eat' sponsor in the middle looks a bit silly, but apart from that, a proper nice kit.

 

[TomPNE94]

Scummy deleted his post. Reason given "no likes"

 

[markwwfc1992]

Big fan of our new away kit, much better than our home one I think.

 

[TomPNE94]

Really like that Wolves away top

 

[tiltontrev]

Blue and white?..nice.

 

[Ciderup]

Thw Derby and Wolves away shirts look very smart. The collar on the Wolves one looks good.

Am I the only one who thinks that Wolves kit is fucking gross?

 

[JJH]

I do as well - looks really tacky IMO.

 

[markwwfc1992]

A lot of our fans don't like it to be fair, it gone down a bit like marmite. I like it personally but would still rather us have an all black away kit, I think replace all the blue with black and it could look classy.

 

[The Alex]

Wolves kit is alright, badge doesn't go with it though so that ruins it. Preston's kit is classy again.

"From 1933 the team wore the Preston coat of arms on their shirts. This consisted of the sacrificial lamb (representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ) holding a flag of victory (representing the resurrection as victory over death) over the letters "PP," an abbreviation of Princeps Pacis (Latin for Prince of Peace). According to Dave Melling the media reinterpreted the initials as "Proud Preston" when the team met West Ham in the 1964 FA Cup final and this verion has since stuck."

From that website that Walkley posted earlier in the thread.
