| I've been trying so hard to convince myself to get a new home shirt: growing on me, don't mind thrBFB sponser logo, don't look that bad etc - but I have to give in and admit its an expensive rag this time. Going to dig my old Bukta out

| Quote the flying biscuit="the flying biscuit":DOH: no they almost certainly didnt instruct the manufacturer/supplier to make a sub standard kit...nor did i suggest they did anything of the sort...
its a fact though that this kit is not as good as the canterbury shirt yet it retails for more. now either the buyers have cocked up and the cost price was so high they have to charge £45 to make a reasonable profit.
or the cost price is the same or less than the Canterbury kits, and the product is of a poorer quality and the retail price is higher thereby profiting by charging top whack for a sub standard product.
I have no evidance of cost prices thats true but my allegation that a sub standard product in comparison to previous years is being flogged for top whack still stands....
had the reduction in quality been matched by a reduction in price i would be fine with that....'"
On the basis you don't know what you're talking about RE cost prices (as you've admitted), why accuse the club of deliberately trying to rip people off? You certainly suggested that when you said:-
Quote the flying biscuitthe club have seen an opportunity to make profit by selling substandard items at top whack'"
That's almost as silly as suggesting the club will receive a batch of shirts and say 'you know what, some people don't like cotton. Some may even call it a rag. I know, let's drop the RRP of these shirts accordingly'.
You have every right to your opinion on an item of clothing and to vote with your wallet. However, again, it's out of order to accuse the club of deliberately trying to rip supporters off.

| Has anyone seen the Leeds / Hull / Saints rep kits? As in - is it a Warrington decision to have a cotton and different style shirt as the "replica" or is it what ISC are doing across the board with all of their rep shirts?

| just out of interest popped into the leeds shop today, and their replica kit is a perfect example of what a replica should be, brilliant feel to it, sponsors all looked good and material was nice, shirt matched the players exactly aswell, also no extra price for the larger gentleman!
all that i can see being the difference in the situation is the clubs, our club has messed this up, because isc, are able to make good quality kits, and are doing for leeds, so why are we allowing them to make anything different for us?

| Just had a look while in ASDA, the shirt looks and feels cheap. Worth nowhere near £45.
At least when the club had the lower quality Halbro shirt for 1 of the Alfie years they gave it away free when a season ticket was bought. The club and ISC really need to question what they've done.
1st mistake is spoiling the designs with sponsors logos having backgrounds and the 2nd mistake is having that material.
