New merchandise

[herbie]

Great to see new merchandise on the club web site.

Biggest plus for me is  the club has  dropped the 25 year "new club" rubbish .

Established 1876! Fantastic.

Very impressed with this range. Need some tee shirts for my hols so will be sorting

I am not averse to the new understated 'all black' range, but I do think I may be missing something here.

I have always thought that the idea of club merchandise, was to enable a supporter to show their pride in the club they support and, in turn, was a way of promoting that club. Some of the items in the new range show only '1876' - that will mean absolutely nothing to anyone outside a core base of fans. Neither do the items that show a 'blacked-out' club badge, promote any sense of pride in Oldham RLFC.

Surely to attract new fans, we need to be 'loud and proud' of our club and reflect that, in the merchandise options.

There are three ranges of merchandise available now giving fans plenty of choice.

For what it’s worth my grandkids love the black range

The club was founded in 1876 and the heritage of the club is now being given the platform it deserves.

1876?...merely new kids on the block. Heritage begins at 150 years…..ask the mighty hornets

Nah, there's a heritage ratio whereby you take number of years,147, divide it by challenge cup wins,3, championships,3, years in superleague,3, which is 147÷9= 16.333333/1 The lower the ratio the higher your heritage. Hornets is probably over 100/1.

With a 150 year celebration in 3 years. Street parties, parades, Wembley!?

Brilliant…..do you work for IMG by any chance? If not you should apply now. They are always looking for blokes who can come up with a formula that provides the answer they want.

I always thought Decimal Place was a cul de sac in Royton.

Have a look at the Elgren website. The Google reviews aren't good.
