Yeah isc is domestic league, or atleast local. I remember Fiji being mentioned previously.

At the end of the day they should be able to create enough stock at a decent rate or have someone able to do it like nb does.
The nz super rugby teams have moved to classic because they are able to have a shorter turn around and have more special jerseys in place at quick notice.
Nike branding is nice, but if they can't do it justice or enough it really isn't worth it.
Yeah but the Classic quality was super inconsistent, at least for the Lions anyway
 
FFS I am absolutely over Nike. First they underestimate how much product is required for a club like Collingwood to the point where you haven’t been able to buy a guernsey since what, May of this year? It was embarrassing seeing proper retail Brisbane guernseys being sold next to shitty Sekem Pies replicas in GF week.

Then we have the ridiculous situation where (either due to stock or licensing, I’m guessing the former) all the team signed premiership guernseys, going for $2500 a pop, arent even actual Nike guernseys. They are literal polyester sheets cut out in the shape of a guernsey (watch the videos from signing day) with a Premiership Cup silhouette where the Nike logo would be. This phantom manufacturer also went to the trouble of basically replicating the Nike jock tag without the Nike logo, so it just seems very off-brand to me and not worthy of the asking price.

Finally we have this ridiculous situation where we will be rolling around with heat-pressed gold AFL logos in 2024 because Nike needs to have their stock made up literally six months before the start of the season. I was thinking of buying my first retail in probably five years just to get that nice gold logo; not anymore. What a shitshow. I would rather us be with Belgravia.
Is it me, or have Nike's guernseys dropped in quality?
 
Nike were terrible in their Carlton run, I presume they have at least improved since then. Although I recall their shorts looking constantly crinkled in their first year with the Pies.
I thought Nike had the best guernseys for around 20 years, up until 2018 when they changed to a cheaper looking basic collar. Before then, they had a premium looking collar, nice shoulder stitching and the logo was nicely patched on.

Pretty sure there was an issue with numbers and panels peeling off, a carlton fan might be able to shed more light on the issue though
 
Nike quality is perfect - swans top has and is the best it’s ever been.

Fingers crossed though that Nike get it right for us next season for the club’s 150th anniversary, just as New Balance did for the Saints this year. They nailed each one of their guernseys imo, not just the ‘66 premiership one with the collar but the 150 logo, half back HCB, Indigenous, all of it was class.

Amen. You have a better chance of buying a home in this economy than ever getting your hands on a 2022/2023 guernsey. It's pretty much the reason I've stopped collecting new guernseys because it just isn't plausible anymore when stock is so low because I have a life and am not glued to the Collingwood email/socials like everyone else seems to be when these things drop.

The whole "Swooping Magpie" debacle broke the camels back for me. They starve the supporters and drip-feed us slop knowing we'll eat whatever they give us anyway, and it's just not right.

F*** it, bring back BLK at this point. There, I said it

Looks like everyone's involved, even the newer clubs.
Well this is what they currently have, which is retro in itself, but seems like there'll be something else extra.
