Futtocks Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Wigan's armed forces tribute strip for the match against Leeds. Part of the money made from sales will go to the Royal British Legion. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Will Leeds also have a special shirt? I hope so. This is another move towards the Australian model of multiple special rounds, and I don't mind that at all.

I’m all for the charity shirts but they can bin off the Marvel rubbish and kits for the Super 8’s. A ‘charity’ round or a heritage round would be fine with me.

EastLondonMike Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Seen on Facebook today that no Hummel Jerseys were available to purchase in Denver, due to shipping issues. Looks like they also had non-Hummel produced logo tee's. Produced by American licensed sports brand '47Brand', or printed on plain '47Brand' tees. They really don't help themselves do they.

Whippet13 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 On Saturday here was an assortment of plain t shirts with England badge printed on or Denver International League Rugby Football or similar. 30-35 dollars. Two stalls in the ground, dull looking stuff but they were doing a decent trade. I bought a very good qualty and very smart Denver Broncos gym top for 11 dollars from the club shop instead. Going to the semis at Bolton, so maybe they'll have England gear there, if so I'll be getting a shirt. Looking ahead, given how seriously the RFL seem to be taking the 2021 WC then hopefully they will have a deal to get the England shirt into a major high street clothes or supermarket chain.

Great idea. I’m obviously not from the heartlands but has it ever been possible to buy England/GB replica jerseys on the High Street? Not a slight on your idea, just curious.

I think the last WC shirt was in Sports Direct. Though that may have just been in heartland areas (I saw it in Leeds and Wakey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Having the shirts alone in the supermarkets isn’t going to entice anybody to buy one unless you’re already a Rugby League fan and that’s just another case of preaching to the choir. I think this is why I’m pro-new Super League and a breakaway from the current RFL. The game needs more recognition, more hype and more marketing and to do that, we need our best, Super League or in this case, England, to be built up as superstars. We need the game marketed and we need to make the game exciting and gripping and if this can be achieved by a new Super League, i’m all for it.

There are plenty of people with a casual interest in RL, as we see from the TV viewing figures - particularly the internationals on BBC. In any case, even if you are just maximising your sales from your existing base, that would be a huge improvement on now. At the moment, buying merchandise even as a loyal RL fan it is very difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the 1995 England WC jersey being available, along with the Welsh and GB one. Pretty sure some club jerseys (Leeds, Wigan, Bradford) were stocked too, though you had to go to Scrumdown for Huddersfield RLFC gear. Minä rakastan rugbyliigaa!
