Has anyone purchased the new training top or singlet? I got mine delivered in the mail today and found the quality really poor considering the top was $90 and the singlet was $80. The CareerOne logo looks like it's been super glued on and it just feels cheap. Anyone else feel the same?

Wouldn't that be on Nike?
This is a good thread, noting in our merchandise shop is real appealing. I think they need to go outside and a have a look around at what people are wearing and wearing to the footy, add a touch of Carlton to it. It's all a bit tacky, nothing you'd casually wear which is odd coming from a club who's guernsey and monogram are anything but. I guess some of the stuff is alright, perhaps a few premium quality items? You can't even buy a genuine playing guernsey anymore (they are all replicas).

I don't mind the Carlton basketball jersey. Sounds stupid but I wear a lot of jerseys in summer and that'll definitely get a run.

Looks like Nike have thrown the towel in.
Yes, they used to have stock items for all Australian clubs they sponsored (with each in the appropriate colourway - navy for us, maroon and yellow for the Broncos etc), but now we're getting off the rack apparel with heat pressed embellishments. Our logo, the sponsors etc, they're all ironed on, not sublimated or stitched.
I'd be ringing the three stripes and seeing if they'd like us on board. What Nike continue to serve up is very underwhelming and under done; but there's nothing the club can do, save searching for greener pastures.

would never enter their head to use a supporter focus group for ideas..........imagine the creative flair of something ticked off by some of the knowledgeable fashionistas on here - and the size range to cover Sheik and HBF......

I'm no designer, but surely if they're going the off-the-rack approach we could get better gear than what they've got.
Why not do a vote on a range of clash guernseys? Put out 3-4 options and open it up to a vote amongst fans. Go wild with a few of the designs, too. Clash jumpers are no canvas on which to be conservative. Have some fun with them.
It's a shame the Cats have beaten us - and everyone - to the rugby-style shirt. You know why soccer clubs sell so many kits? Because they're a T-shirt! They're an everyday fashion item. How awesome would a little collar look? I'm spitballing, but surely we could use our colours to come up with something quite nice.
Think the International Rules shirt.

That's the point.
What's the great quote from Moneyball, "the first man through the wall always gets bloody."
I'd much rather we attempt to innovate and fall short of the mark - whatever that might be - than continue to stumble along afraid of what people might think or, heaven forbid, say.
