You reckon... fair enough if you gave them what they didn't ask for but it's a tad harder to stomach IMO when you did.
But what do I care I don't buy them anyway. Just my opinion but unless you are under 21 or a player you tend to look a bit of a wally and smell like a wallaby in them.

| The three times I've been near the shop they seem top be selling plenty of them and I reckon they'll get rid of a fair few for Christmas. Just because a few on here don't particularly like them or won't buy them won't stop hundreds of others who don't come on this forum doing so.

You're right the design and colours are perfect. Its just a shame the quality is so poor, but then it seems the standard of most sports kits these days aside from the specially produced cotton versions ISC make.

I reckon he's ok with the fact that some people will always moan about something - it's the way of the world. I wasn't over-keen on last years, but I still bought two, as I suspect most people on here will do - so long as the money goes in the till, I don't suppose he'll be too fussed.
As for the styling - I agree they're not especially flattering if you're not rugby player shaped, and the fabric makes you sweat like a fat bird in a nightclub, but what can you do?
I wish they'd produce a cotton replica for fans, but I expect the reality of production costs vs likely demand mean it's not viable.

You might smell like a wallaby in it! Personally never had that experience, pm me for details about anti perspirant retailers.

| They seem over priced for what you get. How much do they cost to produce and ship? The profit margin must be huge and I bet most of that doesn't go to the club either.

I think that your wrong on that one. The profit margin will be pretty good, but this will go towards the clubs overheads/ costs.
As I mentioned earlier, the fans have saved a packet on season tickets, so buying a little more than usual in the shop shouldn't be unreasonable.

| Can't believe the amount of moaning. The club have listened to the fans and asked the supplier to produce the kits to their liking. The material and I'd imagine general shirt design (ie collar) are probably out of the clubs hands. tried one on at the shirt launch and I didn;t think it was of particularly poor quality. Admittedly the Kooga shirts were probably the highest quality we've had but for me they were a bit too thick for wearing during in summer months. Get behind the club and buy some merchandise, even if its a T-shirt rather than a playing shirt, lets fill the terraces with masses of red white and blue!

| Have to admit that despite not been overly impressed with the quality it didn't stop me buying one of each! They aren't that bad by any means, just for £45 could be a little better. Still doesn't detract from the fact that its the best design we have had for years.

| Shop was packed yesterday! Loads of people trying to pick up season tickets without receipts or letters though, which ended up causing massive queues. I think both shirts look better in 'real life'. Staff were saying the shirts are selling out fast, think James Elston also said that shirts are selling faster than ever.
Looks like the club have made a good and popular choice with the fans. Obviously you can't please everyone though!

| Went yesterday too - business looked very brisk !
Picked up our 3 tickets & then went on a spending spree ...probably spending more than the tickets had originally cost
Bought both shirts - prefer the home one myself - but they'll be spot on in the summer

This was a right pain when I went in. Don't go into Wakefield much these days so just called in for my season tickets whilst shopping but didn't have a piece of chuffin paper on me with my address on it! Dozens of credit cards with my name on though, including the one I purchased the tickets with. For any other purchase in my life I would've just told them to stuff it and get my money back! Having already ignored the Agar issue before renewing my membership this was another chuffin obstacle!
Club have lost the potential shirt purchases though. Mixture of madness and lack of discount vouchers.
I'm not sure how to get these tickets in the future but I certainly won't be trailing into the Ridings again for them.
