Quote: Superted "One thing I really don't understand is the insistence of having the plastic/rubber sponsors/badges on kits and vests etc - they're far too delicate in the wash/dry etc - I'm not an expert in that department, but what I do know is all my gear gets chucked in the wash with the kids stuff by the Mrs, and any rugby gear with plastic/rubber badges usually comes out battered.... Why not just have the badges built in to the design or as fabric/stitching (I know the answer is cost, but in reality it's a couple of quid tops).'"
NZ warriors tops do and they eminently more wearable as well...
