it's a load of codswallop
my rugby team have just released a special edition 'poppy kit':

All very laudable and it gets a fiver per shirt for charity, but how much better just to give a tenner (or even the full £55!) and wear a normal poppy instead?
And sure as s**t the club and kit manufacturer will be profiting (either directly or indirectly) from making the shirts, so it's hardly an altruistic move on their part otherwise you'd just see them presenting one of those ridiculous novelty donation cheques pre-match..
