God that sh**s me how they keep changing all the time.
All the current Slazenger apparel and merchandise all of a suddenly feels retro.

Yeah.
It sounds like some unknown brand that will be shit! Agh.
I never liked FILA, but even they'd be better than whatever brand this is.
I really liked Slazenger too...

Geez life must be tough at the Cattery when your biggest problem is which apparel sponsor you are going to have.
Who cares who makes the blue and white hoops.

ISC is a reputable company that has made some pretty good stuff over the years. I don't reckon it will be that bad at all...

This was the first year I decided not to wear my guernsey (circa. 2000) to the footy anymore. Then I made a deal with myself that if we made the Big One, I'd buy this year's and wear it. Bought it on the Friday, wore it with pride on the Saturday.
Week and a half later and we're about to change it again!

Slazenger may have dropped us. Perhaps they didn't want to sponsor an AFL side anymore and go down a different path so opted not to renew the contract.
Either way I am sure we'll have quality gear again next year. Apparently the players had a big input into the way they wanted the gear designed and they are all very happy with the results.
ISC are a renowned Rugby brand. They sponsor various clubs in the NRL (South Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra, Penrith to name a few) and all Australian Super 14 clubs as well as a few NBL clubs. This will be their first foray into AFL.
I've known about this since about May/June so I made sure not to buy any Slazenger stuff this year as I knew it would be a waste.
Looking forward to seeing what the gear looks like!

Yep, and it makes us look like we have too many logos on our guernsey.
I wouldn't mind it if it was a simple "ISC" text logo (like Slazenger), not a picture logo.

you know what'd be really terrible? if we got all high and mighty about who has decided to pay our team big dollars for sponsorship. stop looking a gift horse in the mouth, every dollar we earn is going into the 2008 premiership defence kitty....

We will still be playing in the blue and white hoops and that's what is important.
I've also heard that we are getting quite a favourable deal with ISC, a lot better than we would get with a Nike, adidas, Puma, Rbk etc. Those companies take a large slice of the money the club makes from merchandise. By using lesser known companies, we are able to keep a larger amount of the money made from merchandise which gives us more money to spend on the Football Department, Marketing etc.

Good point Dasher; put it into perspective.

it's not just about the guernsey; the accompanying attire like polos, hats and stuff like that have to look good to sell... that's why a company like Nike or Adidas is valuable to have

I'm actually pumped about this now, if it means better quality gear. I had the biggest struggle with the cats shop and slazenger to attempt to get a guernsey that didnt look like it had been layed out in the sun for 3 years

Don't they sell Geelong guernseys without any of the sponsors logos?
I've heard that they're cheaper as well, couldn't give a stuff about sponsors logos the guernsey looks better without them.

This was said on Cats Claw:
from what I can gather, the high-profile owners of the Rabbitohs, including one Russell Crowe, aren't exactly loving the ISC deal and have set up their own sub-merchandising brand.
Quote thanks to Bozo.
Dasher39
10 Oct 2007, 20:22
That doesn't necessarily mean their gear isn't any good, just that they aren't happy with the deal, which I would assume means the financial deal (which was probably struck before Crowe and Holmes a Court took over).
I have been reliably informed the club have negotiated a very good deal for the club.
Some of the South Sydney gear is very good, hopefully the Geelong gear can be even better!

Just a guess but I dont think they will use their full oval design used on the Rabbitohs , two Oval's is just too much oval. If you have a look there are several other clubs , Roosters & Panthers , that just use the ICS letters that are inside the oval.
Dasher would it possible to make up one in a similar fashion to the Roosters/Panthers?
