I hadn't thought about Canterbury, they do some decent stuffthe machine wrote:Adidas would be great but just a pipe dream unfortunatelyLofthouse Tiger wrote:Who would people prefer the supplier to be if they had a choice? Adidas for me every time.
I know shirts are about increasing revenue but wouldn’t people buy them if the range and quality were much better even if a bit more expensive?
Out of the rugby manufacturers I'd go for Canterbury or Oneills

Re: away shirt
Under Armour, they made the Salford stuff for a bit - expensive to sign up but actually make gear instead of using boring templates ala Puma/Nike/Adidas.

Why would Adidas only be a pipe dream? We have had them previously.

And they operate through a third party like Puma with kitbag, the club wouldn't deal directly with Adidas.Lofthouse Tiger wrote:Why would Adidas only be a pipe dream? We have had them previously.

Because we don't exactly see huge global brands falling over themselves to be associated with our sport anymore do we?Lofthouse Tiger wrote:Why would Adidas only be a pipe dream? We have had them previously.

Clubs need to weigh up the cost against what they make, IIRC it cost Salford £500k to have Under Armour for a year. ISC/Xblades etc will cost significantly less.

Re: away shirt
Under Armour would be great to get on board with. Massive sporting brand, some decent exposure and i'd imagine some quality gear.
Re: away shirt
i know I am going to be shot down, but I don't like the silky material all the replica shirts are made of, I understand players need a light weight shirt , but for the fans cotton shirts for me look a lot smarter

Re: away shirt
Been in shop today to have a closer look.
Still doesn’t do it for me.
It’s the 2 shades of brown that makes it look awful.
Not sure who’s idea it was but imo it’s the wrong one.

Re: away shirt
Been to the shop today and changed my mind. I don’t like it. Nor do I like the home one much. If I had to buy one it’d be the third shirt.
Also I loved the heritage ones online and was going to buy my dad one for Christmas, but I don’t like those either in the flesh.
I do like a lot of the leisure wear though. But would quite like a normal polo shirt.

£70 for a UA shirt would be well worth it tbh.derbystiger wrote:Not at those prices though!the happy hooker9 wrote:Why can't our suppliers produce something a simple as this

Much, much better quality than anything Xblades would come up with.
(and if it helps cover the 500k a year cost then go for it)

Re: away shirt
^^ I saw £90 as regular price, £70 as the sale price. If regular price is £90 then its too expensive in my opinion. Doubling the price of a replica shirt is too much regardless of quality. I don’t like XBlades, but there is a limit to what people can afford to pay for a shirt.

Re: away shirt
If any of our fans pay £70 for a shirt they must have more money than sense, I know there as got be a mark up but £70 is going over the top

Its out off are hands which brand there pick so you buy it if you like it don't if you hate the top its really that simple if sales are down then they will probably look at change in it but heard sales are going well .
