you are spot on....!!!



this is the last replica I bought and what I still wear to matches....it looks EXACTLY like what the players wear from the collars to badges to sponsors logo's. Its been to Wembley TWICE the south of France once, it had a brush with a blue sock in a washing machine once, but it still looks immaculate..... probably cost £35 when new....



and this is the one I bought before that....again well worn well washed still looks brilliant and an exact replica of what the players wear...


So I'm prepared to spend my money but i'm not a fool
if Andy Gatcliffe can explain how that rag in the club shop is value for money then he's a genious

The quality of all the shirts Canterbury did for us were excellent, still made in China like the ISC shirts but of a much higher standard.

That is one of the reasons why it's disappointing to be with ISC now, the other is that I know how great ISC Australian club shirts are in quality.

If supporters aren't happy they should complain and explain the reasons why they're not buying the shirt(s) the club will then need to go back to ISC and hopefully a better version will be made as the club won't want to lose out on revenue due to a poor product.

Got an email from Warrington a couple of weeks ago. I always get the newsletter twice, at same time so more inclined to delete both without reading but this is a survey I got.
Fill it in.

The club will continue to lose out on shirt sales while they offer us this ISC tripe. I love my club but I won't be ripped off by buying a shirt for £45 that obviously cost less than £5 to make. Get rid of ISC, and improve the quality by employing a proper supplier similar to the standard offered by the late
Canterbury europe.

So what you're saying is:-

- you bought one shirt that lasted ages and that was great value for money
- you bought another shirt that lasted ages and that was great value for money
- you've not bought this shirt, and so have no idea how long it will last, but you are still convincned that it isn't value for money.

I don't get it.

I understand that it doesn't look exactly like the players version. But why does that mean it's not value for money and/or is likely to disintegrate when it comes into contact with human hands?

Delete the link in the quote? I checked it after i posted it and came up with my name. oops

He's probably saying that he's been into the club shop and felt the quality of the new shirt and in his opinion the material is inferior quality to shirts that he's bought in the past, its not hard for anyone to work out what feels cheap and what feels like quality clothing wise.

People on here are already reporting issues with the new shirt which kind of backs up what the flying biscuit is saying, one of the local chavs in our street was wearing one yesterday so i went over and asked him of i could drag him around the street a few times by his shirt and give it a good pulling just to test the quality, he would't let me so i can't comment on the quality personally.

It doesn't look good though when youir close up, i agree withe the market feel comments earlier.

all done!

Really? It's that bad?

As you quite rightly say, it is down to people's opnions but to call it market feel is a bit excessive in my humble.

correct on all points.....
i dont know how long it will last but based on last years kit which was poorly designed with the splitting badges... and the [ufeel[/u of the even thinner material this year...and the way it looked on a member of staff in the club shop, I came to the conclusion it was a cheap rag and I wouldnt be paying over £40 quid for it.
Maybe its worth £20 but nothing more than that....

as I said in an earlier post its like the commemorative end of an era shirt, which I bought as a keep sake and not to wear although i did wear it to a couple of games.... and when the players played in that it didnt last 40 minutes did it? they had to change shirts at half time.

the club have seen an opportunity to make profit by selling substandard items at top whack...and i think its a bit off...

dont get me wrong I'm not starting a man united green and gold boycott the club merchandise thing.... instead of the shirt I bought a hoodie, and one for My son, and I got him wolfie slippers as well... I'm not being ripped off with that horrible shirt thats all.

On the main Wolves site there is a poll to see if youre buying the new shirts .....

Don't know how the figures are shaping up to last years.

I think the replica kit is not up to quality again, and i will look to the training range or possibly the players shirt for this seasons kit. The shorts and socks are nice

You honestly think the club made a conscious to decision to instruct their kit supplier to make (what you say) is a sub-standard product because they thought it would make more money? Not only is that harsh but there is not a single shred of evidence to support it.

The key thing for me is in spite of the collar, quality etc. is why do the two shirts have or need to have different designs.

Surely when samples were being looked at, someone would have pointed out that they don't look the same?

Shouldn't a "replica" shirt make you feel pride in your club?

What are the sizes like with the ISC shirts and stuff, is large a true large etc, or do they tend to be a bit on the big/small side compared to your average t-shirt or polo shirt????

If last year is anything to go by, they are a bit on the small size - well I hope thats the case!

no they almost certainly didnt instruct the manufacturer/supplier to make a sub standard kit...nor did i suggest they did anything of the sort...

its a fact though that this kit is not as good as the canterbury shirt yet it retails for more. now either the buyers have cocked up and the cost price was so high they have to charge £45 to make a reasonable profit.

or the cost price is the same or less than the Canterbury kits, and the product is of a poorer quality and the retail price is higher thereby profiting by charging top whack for a sub standard product.

I have no evidance of cost prices thats true but my allegation that a sub standard product in comparison to previous years is being flogged for top whack still stands....
had the reduction in quality been matched by a reduction in price i would be fine with that....

I walked past the new Wire kit in Asda today. It looks truly horrendous up close. Garish colours and just has a scruffy look to it, despite being brand new on the hanger.

I've been trying so hard to convince myself to get a new home shirt: growing on me, don't mind thrBFB sponser logo, don't look that bad etc - but I have to give in and admit its an expensive rag this time. Going to dig my old Bukta out

On the basis you don't know what you're talking about RE cost prices (as you've admitted), why accuse the club of deliberately trying to rip people off? You certainly suggested that when you said:-



That's almost as silly as suggesting the club will receive a batch of shirts and say 'you know what, some people don't like cotton. Some may even call it a rag. I know, let's drop the RRP of these shirts accordingly'.

You have every right to your opinion on an item of clothing and to vote with your wallet. However, again, it's out of order to accuse the club of deliberately trying to rip supporters off.

Has anyone seen the Leeds / Hull / Saints rep kits? As in - is it a Warrington decision to have a cotton and different style shirt as the "replica" or is it what ISC are doing across the board with all of their rep shirts?

Leeds shirt is 100% polyester
Hull FC is the same 60% Cotton 40% Polyester as us.
St Helens also the same 60% Cotton 40% Polyester
Don't know about Catalans.

just out of interest popped into the leeds shop today, and their replica kit is a perfect example of what a replica should be, brilliant feel to it, sponsors all looked good and material was nice, shirt matched the players exactly aswell, also no extra price for the larger gentleman!

all that i can see being the difference in the situation is the clubs, our club has messed this up, because isc, are able to make good quality kits, and are doing for leeds, so why are we allowing them to make anything different for us?
