Are we stuck with Macron for? I'd quite like ISC to produce our kits at some point as they bring out some top quality shirts.

Not a fan of Macron shirts, nowhere near the quality of ISC.

I have a feeling that we had to sign a 2 year contract with them to dig us out of the hole that the previous management left us in, which means next year Macron then maybe a new supplier can be negotiated after that.

Cas have signed with x blades this year. Some training gear already in shop and replica shirts in early next month. This will be the first time in ages that we've had shirts before christmas.

I like the Macron shirts can't crumble about last seasons and the training gear they supplied was superb. They supply half the football league and a lot of RU clubs so they must be doing something right.

Think the Macron deal was for 3 years wasn't it? Don't like the quality of the shirts they supply to us at all, shapeless, polyester, screen printed rubbish. They have different grades that they supply, i guess to pay back our dues we get the lowest possible quality. I know some would pay 50 quid for a bin liner with a wakey badge on it but i'll be giving it a miss this year unless quality is better than last seasons.

Although the Macron shirts may not be the best that we've ever had, they serve the purpose.
Something to wear on match day's and making a contribution to the club coffers.

Although some of the younger supporters may wear replica shirts for social occasions, most people
who buy replica shirts are happy to display club colours when Wakey are playing, or other rugby events.

Each to their own, I guess but replica shirts are an important source of revenue for the club, so not buying one
just reduces the club's income.

As I said, it's each to their own.

Most sporting clobber is cheap tat that no one would pay £5 for were it not official merchandise. I am hopeful that the much rumoured retro cotton shirt will be making an appearance otherwise it's another year of missing out on purchasing a recycled plastic bag for £50.
