Club Mgmt. New apparel sponsor from 2017

[Lethal]

Seems adidas is finishing up at the end of the year. This article doesn't mention the new sponsor but Xavier Campbell just dropped on Triple M that it's ISC.

The new program, to be officially launched mid-season, includes a new long term partnership that is set to be the largest apparel partnership in AFL history and the biggest in Australian sport.

Hmmm I like the Adidas gear...

That's a shame. Can't get more legit then Adidas.

Currently Freo, Sydney, Port, St Kilda and Geelong use ISC... the link to their website is here: http://www.iscsport.com I didn't find anything particularly interesting on there though, just your average clothing range - guernseys, shorts, socks, shirts, hoodies, compression garments, etc. and a 'design your own' widget thing that you can mess around with the designs of the above mentioned items.

They don't currently have a guernsey design that incorporates a sash, unless you count a diagonal grey line on a teal background (but only on the front, not the back and not over the shoulder), so it'll be interesting to see whether we get the curved sash or straight sash or weird stuff going on where the panels meet at the shoulders and the sides (like we currently have that overlap on the front of the hip due to adidas' guernsey design).

Stalking the guernsey design board on here and I couldn't find anything overly negative about ISC - like apparently the dye faded on some other teams' stuff and the black sections went purple, but they're not with ISC. lol

Rebels are ISC too I think.

I liked adidas, they make good gear. But that 7 year deal from ISC is great.

Be interesting to see if ISC bring back the curved sash.

 

[windyhill]

ISC. Average.

ISC. Average.

Big long term deal however.

 

[Beerfish]

I, for one, welcome our new apparel overlords.

For comparisons sake, does anyone know what Adidas was paying on their deal?

 

[DynamiteDons]

This is a quick mock up of an Essendon Guernsey using the ISC team wear creator on their website. Not sure what else they could do with the guernsey, apart from possibly bringing back the curved sash, but i have now grown fond of the straight sash!

ISC is a great brand, they do a lot of rugby guernseys and are Adidas' main competitor in the rugby scene. Very high quality clothing.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Some big statements being thrown around regarding this. I.e. Most lucrative in AFL history..

Maybe Lakai can sponsor?

 

[Jesse Custer]

Anything positive is welcome. Especially 7 mill

A season or for 7 years?

A season or for 7 years?

Not a hundred percent. But a mill a season is what I heard.

I'm pretty sure Lakai is just about done. Crazy to think they have like 3 riders left from Fully Flared.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Have a few Freo polos here (just to flip on ebay), they're pretty snazzy. Look forward to seeing what they dish up.

Doesn't really bother me either way. I'm not huge on paying $99 for a t-shirt or a pair of track pants that cost 6c to manufacture, so I rarely buy club gear.

they're more run dmc than hammer though

I would have thought they were Korn

The ISC AFL polo's actually look quite good. They do have pretty forgiving colour palates to play with as far as their teams go though. Hard to make Navy/White, Red/White/Black, Teal/Charcoal look terrible.

Ah hell no.

Different genre but I'll pay it
