I'm hoping they are permanent.

As a supporter of my local club, I will never see my team in the official club shop and will never be able to buy my teams club badge or shirt. I would never buy another teams gear, simply because I am a Halifax fan, not a Madrid one, or a Milan one etc...

With the National shirt and badge, I am strongly thinking of investing in getting them. Its nice that as a supporter of a smaller club I now have something I can buy, without turning my back on my club.
