Got this off another messageboard (Cats Claw)... Yup, we have a new apparel sponsor for 2008. It's called ISC.
ISC was established in 1991 and has been a major supplier of merchandise under license to:
  • Cricket World Cup 1992;
  • Australian Cricket Board (ACB) 1991-2002;
  • Australian Football League (AFL) 1992-2001;
  • and including Fox Studios Apparel 1999-2001;
  • Coco-Cola;
  • K-mart;
  • World Wrestling Federation;
  • Big W and Myer.
Currently ISC is a licensed supplier to NRL Teams: Sydney Roosters, Newcastle Knights, South Sydney, Canberra Raiders, Penrith Panthers and Super 14 Teams: Brumbies Rugby and the Western Force.
ISC holds an exclusive supporters license for the NRL, and also holds licenses for supply to Bowls Australia.
The UK arm of ISC holds merchandise licenses to 4 of the 12 English Super League Teams; the Bradford Bulls, Salford City Reds and the Wakefield Wildcats and the new French Team, Catalans. ISC distribution includes France, Italy, USA and New Zealand.

Sounds pretty shit to be honest.

Geez life must be tough at the Cattery when your biggest problem is which apparel sponsor you are going to have.

Who cares who makes the blue and white hoops.

God that sh**s me how they keep changing all the time.

All the current Slazenger apparel and merchandise all of a suddenly feels retro.
Yeah, but just think, it's what the players wore in our premiership year! ;)

Well you wouldn't want to wear (potentially) shitty supporter gear, would you?

ISC is a reputable company that has made some pretty good stuff over the years. I don't reckon it will be that bad at all...

Exactly!!!!! More money going from my wallet

need to update the guernsey collection
This was the first year I decided not to wear my guernsey (circa. 2000) to the footy anymore. Then I made a deal with myself that if we made the Big One, I'd buy this year's and wear it. Bought it on the Friday, wore it with pride on the Saturday.

Week and a half later and we're about to change it again!

I'm not sure of the exact details, but it may not be Geelong's fault.

Slazenger may have dropped us. Perhaps they didn't want to sponsor an AFL side anymore and go down a different path so opted not to renew the contract.

Either way I am sure we'll have quality gear again next year. Apparently the players had a big input into the way they wanted the gear designed and they are all very happy with the results.

ISC are a renowned Rugby brand. They sponsor various clubs in the NRL (South Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra, Penrith to name a few) and all Australian Super 14 clubs as well as a few NBL clubs. This will be their first foray into AFL.

I've known about this since about May/June so I made sure not to buy any Slazenger stuff this year as I knew it would be a waste.

Looking forward to seeing what the gear looks like!
