EastLondonMike Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I would have thought the RFL will purchase from BLK as they are the customer, and supply/re-sell to the retailers, depending on the deal they have with BLK. Or BLK have produced a minimum order originally, sold out, and not produced more initially. Id be surprised if an Australian company would produce 5-10,000 jerseys without any financial commitment from the RFL to purchase. If if there's a minimum order on the kits, which is likely, maybe BLK aren't prepared to order more until they are certain they will sell them. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Well if you go to the official shop they are not available. If you find other shops that dont appear on the first page of a google search you may be able to pay over the odds. Its really a joke.

Bert1 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I would have our kit like the centenary strip we played the aussies in a few years back dark socks with a white top white shorts and just a plain white shirt it looks classy. England shirts with just white and red remind of that 2007 Union WC strip which was tonk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can either order one or you can't. Pre-order is a nonsense word. It deserves a rant thread all its own.. HTH. ? I almost agree. I can go to a McDonalds and order fries. They will be delivered to me straight away. If I order them before I want them, then that is now know as pre-ordering. Though, if I tried to order some fries for tomorrow, they might find it strange.

The complaint is about buying from the RFL. The fact that a small shop in Wigan has Small and XL shirts and an online shop many wont have heard of have some at a premium price does not make it acceptable.

If you casually google 'england rugby league shirt' the first link takes you to the official store which says its coming out at the end of October. I guess it depends how much you want that shirt whether you'll keep on looking. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Of course we can keep making excuses for the RFL, or we could hold them to the standards that they should be. A quick search for Football, Rugby Union and Cricket shirts shows that all of their official stores have shirts and other merchandise available on really professional sites. They also have their merchandise available in an abundance of third party stores. The fact that the RFL are not selling England shirts through their store in advance of the World Cup is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
