petesmithfan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Having seen the orginal pictures of the shirts, I was quite critical of the design. Now having seen the shirt up close on Sunday I feel I was a little hasty, I think apart from the over generous collar and the fabric the shirt design its self is very good I love the red accent lines and stiching and the army logo is spot on. Shame the origianl pictures didnt do the shirt or the designer justice. So Im now the proud owner of the snazziest shirt in the league VIVA THE FEVOLUTION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Im now the proud owner of the snazziest shirt in the league i was same, the design looked plain and boring on the picture, you couldnt make out the red detail on it, but having seen it in the flesh its a very smart shirt. havent bought mine yet waiting to see what the away shirt is like.

So Im now the proud owner of the snazziest shirt in the league after seeing it proper for the first time on sun i could have probably lived with the design but I'm afraid the quality for the price is poor for me, like i've said before 'a glorified T-shirt' There are no strangers at Post Office Road, only friends who haven't met.

HARTY Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 quite like the design but the quality of the shirt is very poor feel a bit ripped off tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesmithfan Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 quite like the design but the quality of the shirt is very poor feel a bit ripped off tbh It was the design I was praising, the material is a little flimsy for a rugby shirt. I dont feel ripped off as I see it for what it is, a limited edition/production item with only a thousand or so being produced. It is also a way of th e club making money and if the club didnt make money from fans there would be no club. If i were buying it from Jon barrie then yes I would feel that I was being ripped off, but buying it from Rovers I am just helping the cause.

ROVERS83 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 dont we just buy the shirt to give the club much needed funds otherwise they could drop the price of the shirt by a fiver and put a quid on the turnstyle fee the shirt is only designed to last for 10 months anyhow is there life beyond fev--- andy thorpe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I wonder how much it actually costs to produce the shirts in a batch? Can't be much more than 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportbilly Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If it was a tenner a pint I wouldn't even enter the ground Think I agree with you Sportbilly, just because we support the club it shouldn't mean we are expected to pay for sub standard stuff "because its helping the club" for that reason alone. i was trying to compare summat.....all i could think was if my chippy(who i think sell lovely fish) was to start selling sub-standard fish, then pump up the price to a tenner for F&C, I wouldn't keep buying them just to help the chippy's cause, I would still use it, I just wouldn't buy the fish......am I making sense here?

There's nowt wrong with the club making a profit on the clobber but if the quality is shiiite folk can't be expected to buy it just because "its helping fev" or whatever.

DMS Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) I can see your point however the thing with a shirt is it has a much longer life than any of the above, and costs alot more to produce.

Steve Smith Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Personally, I can't say I like these new (new?!) nylon shirts, the heavy cotton LinPac shirts were my favourite. Unfortunately, I can't see those ever making a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
