Kooga may,like so many other firms,have had to cut costs in recent times,due to recession.The 2009 home (Wembley) replica was excellent quality as was the white alternative which I think was the same year (The University white one,not the caboodle white one)

What Kooga have come up with in last two years is on a par with what Outwear and Logitog used to churn out.Though must say the Outwear 2006 home (Twickers) shirt was one of the best fitting I had (still got it in fact)

The grey & purple last year were good colours,but were ruined imo by the yellow vomit on the front,otherwise I would have bought it.

Best replica I ever bought was the first GB made by Classic who I believe are an Australian manufacturer,from about 2005.Heavy duty cotton,superb.

Def need more gold in next years home replica.

How about summat like this below.The old claret & amber (gold,ours should remain to be) of Manningham RFC.



Reckon a similar type might design prove popular with our fans.Could even go with slightly thinner claret hoops for a change.

that would be ok but needs thinner stripes IMO

How about this as an alternative,nicked from Mwell AFC

No blue thanks- claret and gold. If you must have another colour then black or white.

You were always anti pufball SG !!
Now we find you sniffing round soccer club gear !!

Really!!

got to say ive bought the last couple of shirts and quite a few polo shirts, the grey one in partucular is really good and ive worn them all a lot and they are all still in good condition, so can honestly say ive no complaints about the kooga stuff ive bought.

I'm changing my user name to p*******fballs biggest fan



Trouble is a black shirt plus c&g,makes us look too much like that lot up the A641,and we don't want that now do we.White I like but we have done that recently.

new shirt hoops, away shirt purple, training gear a little like wigan

ah interesting

hoops for the home shirt then... no v this year.

we have had an alternative purple shirt before..so its not foreign to us, might be quite nice! the other purple one seemed to go down quite well with bits of blue on it?

a lightning bolt on away shirt i have been informed

Going for something very different again then...worked last year i guess!! (sold plenty of the grey paintball one)

I got some right stick off a couple of mates for buying that purple & blue number that super stan is holding.Always liked it myself though.It's one I'm not giving up to the amnesty.

Got that one too but it has seen better days so might well be returned.

think ill be handing in the black away one...the collar on that was a shocker!

Gateshead Thunder circa 1998?

David Brown gears is my favourite of all time. Also the stag kit with the v wore in the last game at Leeds road.

My memory must be terrible i thought it was a purple shirt with a big yellow lighting streak across it. I watched Gateshead all that season and was a proud member of the Thunder Army although i never felt as passionate as i did for Fartown.

thinl that one is the Away shirt, cos i remember them playing in purple and yellow when i went up there.

i got that one too, but signed by the 2006 cup final squad.wonder if it will be worth anything?

yes i remember them playing purple too, will off been the away one.

they had a good team did gateshead...then hull fc nabbed the decent players but we wont go down this route

Are you thinking of the mascot?

Always had a soft spot for Gateshead after spending a cracking bank holiday weekend up there. had arranged to go into newcastle after and was supposed to be meeting some friends- Went into the pub next to the ground for a drink while we waited for a taxi, got talking to a load of gateshead fans one was holding their 18th or 21st in the pub after and invited us to join the party-taxi got cancelled until about 3.30 in the morning!
I seem to remember purple and yellow were their colours too.

Although the design of our shirts last year was good (very traditional) the quality of the shirts Macron supplied was awful. I bought one and only wore it about twice due to it feeling so flimsy. Much preferred the quality of the Kooga ones we had a few years ago to be honest.
See my avatar for what we think this years will look like (very good IMO) but I am waiting to see what the quality is like too. No point having a great design if the quality puts people off buying it.

Fair comment and since I posted that was told Cas had problems with a poor quality Puma kit a few years back so what seems like a decent deal from the outside is not always so on the ground and guess there are pros and cons with all contracts unless you are a real big fish in the terms of their supply roster.
