ATEOTD I'll be getting one, as a show of supporting the club, it always takes a while to get accustomed to the new shirt whatever the design.

The design of the shirt is certainly better than last years but I'm afraid to say as per usual the clubs marketing leaves a lot to be desired.

Why?...... well from my experience this week here goes.......I attended the shirt launch on Tuesday all very good and it was good to meet the players. So after the launch finished the club said the shirt was available to buy from the shop - trouble was there were approx 500 people who attended (well done to the club for attracting that many to attend by the way) however seeing as the club shop is hardly that large you couldnt get near to have a look at the shirt anyway. When I finally did the quality is absolute garbage for £47.99 oh I forgot minus the £5 discount. I wont be buying it for that reason and as a previous poster has stated the quality is as good or bad as the outwear rubbish of a few years ago.

So I decided to ring the Marketing Department to see if I could buy a players shirt (ie made from the material that the players shirt are made from) so I rang the Marketing Department to ask. So I phoned 3 times on Wednesday at varying times, 5 times on Thursday and twice this morning............................guess what no answer - the phone just rang out - there was not even an answer phone message asking the caller to leave a message.

Look I am not having a go at the club but why can you not speak to anyone when you ring Marketing?. Why don't the club offer a players shirt option even if its a little more expensive please give us the option to buy one if we so choose? ALL ANGLES COVERED?. That'd be a no then!.

Its poor.

Look, my grip with this is simple, I've paid £375 in Season Tickets, and I don't believe paying another £100 for 2 shirts is right, especially if they're minging and bad quality. I have feck loads of shirts in my wardrobe, so I don't really need one, but I'll feel bad if I don't get one. So why not have a special offer, more than the £5 discount on the shirt, half price for season ticket holders, 25% of, 2 for £75 of something instead of £47.99 for one, poor, shirt.

I think it is a bit of a p**s take really, after all the club know the fans will buy them but they are really ripping us off with this latest offering. I like to the give the club some of my hard earned cash, but I do feel like a mug now for buying the shirt which is hugely over priced for what you get. Let's be honest it probably cost 2 quid at most to make and yet they are selling for nearly £50. Now I don't have a problem paying the money, but you need to be getting good value and this shirt is a really pathetic offering. We should write a letter of complaint. Did anyone really have a problem with the weight of the last few seasons shirt's? Surely not.

l think we all share the same view re marketing/merchandizing. During the centenery year l got 30plus people interested in a shirt, l went to the marketing manager, who gave me a home and an away shirt to show, people where l worked, some who had no interest at all in rugby or the Giants bought them, l negotiated a small discount, When l went to collect the shirts, the manager and l were counting out the money, just short of a grand, when ln walked Les Coulter, when he found out about the discount , he tore into the manager right in front of me, l felt really bad,Seems like nothing much has changed.

Agree with a lot of people, quite like the design, but quality is awful, unlike the great Kooga offerings of the last few years which I thought were great. They're having a giraffe with the price too!

No thankly, i don't 'have' to have one, I'll wear one of my (many) others for a year......

Shaun Lunt metioned the yellow - got pulled up for that. Didn't know we were now the Purple and Yellows!

What do you expect from a club that has 4 members of staff in a commercial and marketing department.

I know Richard Thewlis reads this board so lets hope he takes note.

Failing that online petition anyone?

Went down there today to collect our season tickets and had a look at the shirt, and the quality compared to previous years looks very poor.

The shirt is expensive anyway but at least the quality was good, not this year, it looks like someone as spray painted the logo's on - sorry I'm not impressed.

i wont be buying it, even if i did like it,i just dont think 47.99 is justified, i have to laugh at people who complain about having to pay so much when the shirt is crap. . dont buy it then!!
i will be wearing my old shirts again until the club produces a decent replica shirt, wouldn't it be great if a retro style claret and gold hooped shirt was brought out rather than the purple/yellow monstrosities we are seeing lately

went to look at club shop merchandise yesterday and the new shirt is a disgrace.

For a club to even accept reciept of these goods is absolutley appauling.

The quality of the kits being sold on the teddy bears is even better than the quality of the shirts being sold for the fans!

I have bought a new shirt every year for the past 10 years but i will NOT be buying the new home shirt unless the quality significantly improves before the season starts.

Lets hope the away shirt is a better quality!

And to top it off a new delivery of shorts had arrived so i asked if I could buy a pair. I was told they were not for sale as they had not been priced up yet!

I left the club shop feeling very angry!

I will buy one ONLY if I can get hold of a PLAYERS VERSION. I hope Richard Thewlis does read this board - we don,t need an on line petition just someone to hopefully realise that the standard of the new shirt is not worth paying nearly £48 or £43 for and to offer a players version of the shirt. Maybe rather than just reading this board it would be nice to know and have some feedback from the club on this one. I hope Mr Davy reads the board or at least someone could inform him that the club will lose sales due to the inferior quality of the product. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the weight of last years shirt nor the year before so why the change.

It's sh[ii[/ite.

not this year for me i think

£48 for this piece of rubbish

why are all the other kooga sellers selling for less than us

Is this the KEN DAVY revolution
