Discussion Crap Merchandise

[SFgiant]

Seeing a collab between the AFL and a pretentious fashion company STRATEAS CARLUCCI has me thinking, what merchandise is just plain awful?

I mean, what nincompoop would spend $88 on a tee with such vapid design?

Guernsey + Merchandise Pr0n but,

One that comes to mind was the oversights and oddities on last years Gather Round fixture t-shirt. Old St Kilda logo, extra unnecessary chevrons for the Dockers logo, maybe not so much an oversight but the Hawks and Bulldogs logos are their normal ones instead of their respective centenary logos used that year

The only interesting thing about this tee is how they list the clubs on the back, by order of admittance into the league (if we ignore them using Fitzroy's date for Brisbane). Has there ever been other merch, or anything really, that orders the clubs in this way?

Anything you find on the north Melbourne store can be added here

I mostly disagree, but I forgot this does exist. I'm sorry North fans but all I ask is why?

Not necessarily Crap but definitely weird - an NFL Socceroos top

The price is crap. Theres seriously something wrong with people that are happy to spend that much.

It’s a cool concept which Nike have done one for other contracted countries as well.

Not my cup of tea, but it’ll be someone’s (and realistically, a cool pickup if you were over there)

Yep that's insane.

I actually really like it (I'm a huge NFL fan) but there's just no way I'm paying that price.

I'm a massive NFL fan and I hate it. Plus, $230 for the same type of jersey that retails at $180 for regular teams and players is a joke. Given it's Fanatics, the wording will probably be upside and the numbers will peel after a wash.

Only thing I like about it is that they got the colours spot on. Every Australian team should be using these colours

It's a shame that we haven't ended up with any good off-field collabs. There has been some incredible collabs with other Nike nations

Thought the same when I saw this - feels like a missed opportunity, especially when you’ve got someone like Jackson Irvine who would be perfect to promote this line.

Side note: did anyone else order the Socceroos mesh anthem jacket? Ordered mine months ago when the first preorder dropped, and have had delay email, after delay email, after delay email, without any real explanation.

Very frustrating…

I feel like Neil Kerley should be wearing this in pissing down rain on the boundary line.
