I think you guys will pull a Richmond and get a pretty reputable brand come on board.
Adelaide sell heaps of merchandise.
Was noticeable when I went to Adelaide to watch the Richmond game in 2014.
crow28 I've tagged him about this before, but he's said on here that a reason Puma didn't enact their 3rd year on the contract was due to not selling enough merch.

Puma are still selling Crows hats at Adelaide's Harbour Town. Kinda odd since the contract ended over 25 months ago, and the Puma store only opened a couple of months ago.
They are selling 2013 caps.

Yes. We don't even know if BLK are going anywhere at this stage and I'd much rather have them for another year over getting into a deal with a company that can't get our design right.
I'm hoping that we don't hear about BLK for much longer and we move on. But you are correct I'd rather have them for longer then going with a company that will screw up our jumpers

The only reason that Richmond were able to make the switch was because they already had I deal lined up, we don't have that. Hell we don't even know who is running the show down there at the moment!

I would have thought that clubs were putting the feelers out to other companies as soon as any word of BLK's financial issue got around the in the industry.
Just bhecause we didn't hear about it doesn't mean clubs were not aware... well, unless you're St Kilda but for all we know ISC were happy to move on anyway.

This board doesn't swing that way
Fixed.

I hope so, but I highly doubt that we would have.

found 3 year old eagles gear in one of the puma shops in melbourne while back. Maybe it was shipped from melbourne to adelaide as theres a better chance of it being sold in adelaide.

I went to Rebel in Geelong yesterday. They had new gear for about a third of the teams. Here's what I've got for you.

Essendon inside collar. These reinforced collars feel really quite strong.




A view of the sash from the back. Fujitsu again in a small black box this year.




Close-up on the how the shoulder design impacts on the sash.




Sydney inside collar.
I don't really like this as it just proves that this particular design will only be used for one year.




Collingwood front. The logos all feel a bit squished together; no gradient on the anniversary badge.




Collingwood back monogram.




Collingwood inside collar.




Hawthorn front 'fangs'. Obviously less obvious than last year, but still there. This was on a size men's medium.




Hawthorn material. It reminds me of the Blades 'paper towel' material but a bit thinner.




Melbourne back. They're going sponsorless on the back for their retails, not for the first time in recent years either. AHG still on the front.

Are my eyes deceiving me or are there 2 different sashes in this?



Josh Begley's guernsey has the straight sash.
That'd be helpful... if I knew who Josh Begley was.

FWIW when I had a job interview at Adidas a few months ago, there was a Puma store (this is at the DFO up past Essendon, near the airport) next door that was selling Crows stuff. They also had a few Hawthorn jumpers as well. I noted it to try and impress the bloke interview me (didn't work - they went with some *** chick), and he said Puma gear either sells right away or not at all - they always have heaps of excess gear and they don't discount dead stock anywhere near enough. No surprise this happens at their other shops too.

Gibbsy how did the ISC Collingwood jumper feel compared to (if you ever felt one) Star, and then the Adidas?
Hard to tell considering I never bought a Star guernsey but the ISC does feel of higher quality than the Star. The Pies' 2011 guernsey is still my favourite since we went to black back. Extremely lightweight material, gold logo, lightweight collar and cuffs – the whole thing wouldn't weigh more than 200g. Adidas is still at the top of the pile for me in terms of quality.

I saw the Carlton guernsey and I can't remember if it was '16 or '17 but it was still looking particularly grey.

Is your 2011 PI or retail?
Interesting if it is a retail that is is so light.

St Mark has a ISC PI jumper that he told me was a pretty good material and the only downside is he is a bit fat compared to the player
Isn't that right?
