Really? It's that bad?

As you quite rightly say, it is down to people's opnions but to call it market feel is a bit excessive in my humble.

On the main Wolves site there is a poll to see if youre buying the new shirts .....

Don't know how the figures are shaping up to last years.

I think the replica kit is not up to quality again, and i will look to the training range or possibly the players shirt for this seasons kit. The shorts and socks are nice

You honestly think the club made a conscious to decision to instruct their kit supplier to make (what you say) is a sub-standard product because they thought it would make more money? Not only is that harsh but there is not a single shred of evidence to support it.

The key thing for me is in spite of the collar, quality etc. is why do the two shirts have or need to have different designs.

Surely when samples were being looked at, someone would have pointed out that they don't look the same?

Shouldn't a "replica" shirt make you feel pride in your club?

What are the sizes like with the ISC shirts and stuff, is large a true large etc, or do they tend to be a bit on the big/small side compared to your average t-shirt or polo shirt????

If last year is anything to go by, they are a bit on the small size - well I hope thats the case!

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....

I walked past the new Wire kit in Asda today. It looks truly horrendous up close. Garish colours and just has a scruffy look to it, despite being brand new on the hanger.

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

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 saidthe club have seen an opportunity to make profit by selling substandard items at top whack'"

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?

Leeds shirt is 100% polyester
Hull FC is the same 60% Cotton 40% Polyester as us.
St Helens also the same 60% Cotton 40% Polyester
Don't know about Catalans.

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?
