New apparel sponsor

[Bryceson]

Yep, and it makes us look like we have too many logos on our guernsey.
I wouldn't mind it if it was a simple "ISC" text logo (like Slazenger), not a picture logo.

yeh, maybe get rid of the gfc logo?

 

[BlueNWhite]

you know what'd be really terrible? if we got all high and mighty about who has decided to pay our team big dollars for sponsorship. stop looking a gift horse in the mouth, every dollar we earn is going into the 2008 premiership defence kitty....

And in the end that is all that matters.

We will still be playing in the blue and white hoops and that's what is important.

I've also heard that we are getting quite a favourable deal with ISC, a lot better than we would get with a Nike, adidas, Puma, Rbk etc. Those companies take a large slice of the money the club makes from merchandise. By using lesser known companies, we are able to keep a larger amount of the money made from merchandise which gives us more money to spend on the Football Department, Marketing etc.

but lets hope they have gear, and not like this year where gear was impossible to get in gf week
club lost thousands in the gf week because of a lack of stock

Good point Dasher; put it into perspective.

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!

It was no big secret, I also was told in June.

Don't forget their custom designed Year 12 jerseys, and Bowls Australia apparel. Giddy up.

So which one are you dating then Stripes? The one on the left with the clown makeup on?

I'm sure quite a few people knew about it, things like this don't stay secret for very long!

 

[kendall_cedric]

All the current Slazenger apparel and merchandise all of a suddenly feels retro.

The club wants to sell more merchandise. Pretty clever really.

 

[roger explosion]

it's not just about the guernsey; the accompanying attire like polos, hats and stuff like that have to look good to sell... that's why a company like Nike or Adidas is valuable to have

 

[worthogs]

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

Naa just shows you were a supporter in our premiership Year and not just a bandwagon jumper

 

[catfan29]

Guess this means we will have a resdesigned clash jumper for next season as well

Isnt the head of slazenger a big time member at GFC ?

Guess this means we will have a resdesigned clash jumper for next season as well

why would it change,dont they just make the stuff, i dont thing they qwn the design?

 

[Dawn2Dark]

Maybe they'll bring back this style with the crappy logo in the navy bit

I'm glad i'll have a premiership year jumper though
Does anyone know if we'll be able to get the guernseys with the GF logo on them?

 

[rizzo]

Who cares what they look like? Besides this years jumper was shit quality anyway

 

[CF]

had a look at the Rabbitohs shop and the ISC stuff looks good. I think some are over reacting. Check it out for yourself

That is why they do it, so people keep buying new merchandise.

Agree , there is no use getting carried away until they come out and we see what they offer. There is always the chance we just may like them

 

[Dawn2Dark]

I'm actually pumped about this now, if it means better quality gear. I had the biggest struggle with the cats shop and slazenger to attempt to get a guernsey that didnt look like it had been layed out in the sun for 3 years
