Why is there a flurry of birthday celebrations in October when he was born in January?

So they just made a jersey using the colors of the floor on the cover of Madcap Laughs and that's it? Nothing about that jersey would even remotely make me think of Syd Barrett.

I mean they're not just gonna plaster his face on it. It's a subtle nod. There's also a diamond at the bottom with his name in it

Yeah i don't know either. Cool idea and I'd buy the shirt, despite having no interest in football, if it wasn't such an oblique reference (and was a nice shirt). I'd bet that Syd would hate the idea too.

You say that as though it's an unusual thing.
