News New Jumpers for 2017 - All changes in OP

The company that once distributed KooGa in Australia started BLK.

This

Kooga is a uk company off memory

Blk was the branding the aussie business rebranded as when they decided to go it alone

hrm I thought KOOGA uk and KooGa aus were 2 different companies under the same parent group with different logos and then KooGa aus was renamed BLK

lets just go around in circles

The rebrand was because of the au owners wanting to do their own thing.

Off memory blk was originally a working name during planning with yhe k standing for kooga. It stuck, and they retroed it to beyond limits known (which is stupid)

Thompson wears his guernsey tight af though. I reckon that is what stretches the number.

True, but that's not the point. It's not stretched here. It's in proportion.

I noticed it last season and was hopeful it was an anomaly. Possibly made worse on our home jumper because of the white outline.

Compare the 2 and 3 below to the 6.

Same for the Crows in 1996. Then on to Adidas in 1997 and so on and so forth.

Imagine that Guernsey as a heritage jumper.i hope clubs start using the original neck for these heritage jumpers cause some modern collars are horrible.

So I was right?

 

[Groupie_]

lol no of course not

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

lol no of course not

But neither were you?

 

[Groupie_]

yes i was

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Pretty sure we just worked out they are not the same company

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Not that I care, I just enjoy riling you up really

 

[Groupie_]

it the same company they just changed their name

But they're dead, so let's drop it.

ISC using the old faded BLK material?

Pretty sure Glenelg men's team is with BLK so probably just copied that out of laziness.

Dunno why Glenelg needed a separate women's team, given the state of their men's team.

theyve learned from their mistakes apparently

Glenelg's mens team is with Nelson Sportswear

Adelaide would have come cheap because the Crows would have had little time to argue it

Would love to compare what the 3 clubs are getting, Essendon's has been reported as $1m per year for 7 years but haven't heard anything on what the Pies and Crows are on

Unfortunately ISC are very tight lipped ab out contracts, even to when they expire.
It's the clubs who usually reveal length, which has been an issue for Gibbsy when updating his sponsor chart

Adelaide and Collingwood have 5 year deals with ISC.

what kind of money is that compared to most apparel deals

i have no idea what the norm is

 

[Great8]

i have no idea what the norm is

My understanding is that it was nearly double the $ of our deal with Adidas.
Might just be club spiel but I remember at the time the ISC deal was announced the club said it was the biggest apparel deal ever for an Australian sporting club
