Maybe something with a hint of style perhaps, crazy idea I know. Them 'designs' are a joke and you know it but for some reason are so keen to praise anything and everything the club does.

I'm generally positive and give the club the benefit of the doubt but it's getting too far now, how long has the website been under construction for!?! And speaking of the website where is there only one or two stories on there a week, I know it's in the off season but look at other clubs; they manage to put stories up on a far more regular basis.

Couple of points here that need addressing from the first part of your post.
First up, I am not praising anything the club have or have not done. For 10 years I have openly lambasted the club and I will continue to do so if I feel they are failing to get it right. What I have said since the announcement is that I am willing to give them time......rather than whine about every little hiccup that occurs. I agree that the website is farcical, but I am not defending anyone blindly and neither am I praising them.
Next up, the Joke designs? How is a hoodie, fleece or a rain jacket in the clubs colours, predominantly the reverse colours, black with blue piping a joke design? I own various items of London Broncos stuff pre-2006 and these include a plain blue poloshirt with the club badge on it, as well as a white one. I never purchased a hoodie as I am not sure they used to have them, but I did have a rain coat that was predominantly blue, with piping and the club badge.....so the polo 2012 and rain jacket 2012 are both exactly what was available in 2005.....just in different colours.
That said, I am not praising the designs....but I am not slagging them off either. Please do re-read my comments about delivery to New Zealand and explain how that is praise for the club.


As I said in my earlier posts, I too am concerned by the lack of communication from the club, but you were obviously too busy frothing at the mouth at my blind praise of everything they do to notice that...



Website = farcical...I have said so from day 1.
Comms = farcical but no different than before.
Merchandise = average but not a joke and I agree with no shirts being available until a sponsor is secured.
Club colours= OK IMO....black shirts will probably out-sell the blue ones
ST/unallocated seats = possible mistake but remains to be seen.
Squad = spot on...best pre-season line-up I can recall.
Future = 3 more years.
Ground = until we can afford our own, what's wrong with the stoop?

see...not one word of praise for anyone, but neither is their inane ramblings about the lack of a chevron on the shirt or a whine about the sun in my eyes.

Garbage - boooooooooh from Wire quin!!!!!

Sorry but I'm a little confused by this thread

i hardly ever post here but always read.

Anyway I'm coming from point of view that the name change is a total waste of time! But the club bashing that going on here is a bit ridiculous! Yes the club should be getting the basics right but actually as far as the off season is concerned the club is playing a blinder!

We have an expression at work you can roll a turd in glitter but its still a turd! And the club are dealing with this basic problem, the team has been far to weak for the last couple years! People are not going to turn up to watch the team get dick week in week out! So the crowds will hopefully improve as the better team wins more often at home.

A big push of brand awareness IMO should start mid January when we have a product to sell!

They are just mock ups! that is what is wrong, they should haven produced some samples and had them on players they have had enough lead time!

I think that's exactly where I stand and have stood since the relaunch. Rubbish website, rubbish communication, (limited and) rubbish merchandise, no sponsor, but I like the colours. Season ticket sales that no one dare publish. Same old, same old. There's no basis for 2012-14 being any different from any recent year - 3,250-3,750 average crowds, losing £500-1000k over the year and facing a crisis at the end of the licence period. Depressing for the realists among us but apparently not so for the optimists who think it will be different this time because of a marketing push in late January (that may or may not happen) and a squad that might finish 8th rather than 13th.

I do so absolutely genuinely hope to be wrong.

Yes.

Lets all hope you are very wrong.

I with you but I hate the colours (mainly cos I don't think of black as a colour - it's just black)! I do think that the squad should finish at least 8th not might finish 8th.

and a boooooh for you Paddock from east stander

As a new brand, and because I like it, I would have thought that the club would have made it blindingly obvious which club the range applies to. A small club logo doesn’t do it – I’m wanting to have “London Broncos – Rugby League” in big letters emblazoned across it. There was no doubt which club you followed when you wore the last Harlequins RL fleece.

On one of them the MKK badge looks bigger than the Broncos badge.

See I don't like that BIG letters I want to wear my gear wherever I go! so I think it is right, no one will ever please us lot! but it just looks like it has been put together quickly and not a lot of thought, perhaps they had been reading the forum! the MKK website is not the most inspirational! it looks so basic.

As does ours temporary thing (although how long is temporary)!

The only defence is MKK have been around for a while longer! but yes I felt our New all dancing website should have been up by now, I was talking to a real young tech wizard yesterday who has several companies one doing websites and they were asked to do a Desert Island Discs website for people to set up their top discs, top book and item they could not manage without and then share lists with friends, even the tracks of the songs you pick and he said they worked overnight on it for a client and had it up in 24 hours!

3 years ?

I do agree with you that its not the most obvious branding on the merch but maybe this is just the official MKK stuff and the club will do its own range of supporter / leisure wear that is more clearly branded . Not all the stuff sold as H********s RL was Kooga or Puma? I really think the club has missed a trick not having stuff like hats, scarves, gloves in the shop before Christmas. Surely there's got to be a small local clothing firm who could have made us a run of a couple of hundred woolly hats or baseball caps in black with a Broncos crest, or some black/light blue scarves? Maybe it'll all happen in the New Year.

On the plus side, none of the stuff on the website is multi-pastel eh?


Roll on Feb 4th!! C'mon London!!

Somebody is listening email from the club just arrived in my mail box.

As if by magic....

At this festive time of the year could people keep the faith yours the reverend Windy

No mention of the fantastic merchandise though.

Maybe there's another email coming on that subject.......

Oi Windy - when are you going to reply to my PM?

Yes! and I even got my copy of the Bronco's Bulletin! it looks good and is informative, good image, a screensaver, how about an iPhone App next! lets get ahead of the rest of Super League and show we can do it right!
