Well considering YPO said what they cost him clearly they were when he got them.

He must have a contact or something, because there's no way there'd be that much of a difference in pricing between outlets.Well considering YPO said what they cost him clearly they were when he got them.

Bought them over two weekends hence the price difference the bastard put them up $2 each the second week,he was still selling them the week before Christmas most Clubs, but sizes were an issue with the Cats all size M.Not retail and not the sort of bloke you would accuse of gouging.

But $70 for a fake Guernsey is highway robbery.

So in order to try COAR gear I bought that $30 polo that was definitely not the media polo sans logos and with light grey stripes instead of white. Actually don't mind it thus far, just as a light casual or exercise top it does what I want it to and quality seems fine. Still might wait a season or two before getting one of the long sleeved guernseys, but I'm not opposed to the idea...

You need to jump in and buy the Marino wool long sleeve $249 before Haro sees it.

Bought a new jumper and the COAR tech pullover (hoodie) for my 6yo for Christmas. The quality on both is great, and my lad was rapt that Santa knew he wanted no6 on his jumper.
Very pricey though, and I'm glad I don't buy merch for myself.

My major disappointment with some of it is they have gone iron on logos whenever possible that must be fixed.
Good to see the children enjoying it though

Either of these would have been better as a short sleeve preseason Guernsey in my opinion. Simple, and actually looks decent as a t shirt...
I really like the look of this. I'd wear it to a game or just out and about, even around the house.
And I think I mentioned it pages ago but these training tops remind me of the 90's. Good old nostalgia from when I first followed the cats. The Navy Ford logo was always better in my eyes. Simple but effective.

Agree. With the prices they are asking (particularly the singlets, training shirts, hoodies), the iron logos don't cut it (and look ordinary).

Hopefully the club take the feedback on board and stop the price gouging.. That's if the official club guys still even visit the site

They won't
There will be just some claim about official merchandise and how they have to charge certain prices or something ridiculous like that

For the record the polo definitely has the logo's embroidered on and not ironed on.
But outside of the footy jumper, everything else is pretty much ironed on.

So do you guys like the COAR stuff? Plenty of rumours around our way that we'll be jumping on board with them now that BLK are bankrupt. Doesn't seem to be a popular decision, but my initial reaction was they couldn't be any worse than what BLK provided.

I still like my $30 not-media polo, makes me confident enough that I do intend to shell out for the long sleeve guernsey at some point. Imo the quality issues have been overstated, although I agree some designs could have been a lot better.

Never going to be as good as ISC Nike Puma etc IMO..

Is COAR stuff made in OZ? If so I can see why they can't match it with those other brands for the price.
If made in Indo or China etc there should be no reason they can't match it with those other brands.

The quality of the polo is below ISC, but it's ok, not a fan of the ironed on logos on hoodies, shorts and other stuff.
But it's year 1 so they deserve 12 months to develop and get things right.
A lot of Puma stuff is trash, I am hanging for the day Arsenal switch over (as rumored) to Adidas. The designs are awful.
If Geelong could get Nike on board that would be super.
