Just wondering if anyones knows when our 2023 merchandise will be released. Or heard any rumours of colours/style etc. Has the contract with Hummel finished.

Usually mid November.

As for the rest, no idea.

Think Hummel has finished they were selling Hummel gear of cheap in the shop.
Up the Trin

They do that every year, to make way for new stock, whether that be Hummel or not,

No idea what length the deal was tbh but 3 years springs to mind, so one to go, but may be wrong.

Anyone but O'Neils

Hoping for a red home shirt, we dont have one often enough.

On the supplier I heard Ellgren, Although they only supply two 'professional clubs'

Ellgren is my guess.

Its not o niells, or hummell

Ellgren are supplying Reece Lynes testimonial top.

Up the Trin

New shirt will revealed on 31st October

Wed be a big capture for them as their first SL club, so should get a great deal and good service. The stuff they have done for the Championship looks pretty decent but not ISC quality IMHO.

[list[/list:u

I think they had Leigh in SL last year, but I think that was signed before Leigh were given the green light.

Definitely agree about the quality, nowhere near ISC standard yet but for a relatively new company they've come a long way in just a couple of years. Incidently, they've just been taken over by Gareth Moore who played for us a few years back. Think he also own EV2 Sportswear so be interesting to see what they come up with. They've done some nice looking retro gear recently.

They are actually a really old company, used to be the biggest in RL in the early 90’s. Wigan, Leeds and Cas to name but three. Then totally disappeared for 25 years. No idea why.

The brand is really old, but the company is relatively new. Like you say, I've no idea where they went but then a Wigan fan bought the brand as a hobby and sold it to Garry Shofield's son who brought it back as genuine kit manufacturer a couple of years ago. He seemed to be doing really well but for some reason decided to sell up recently and Gareth Moore has taken it over.

From what I've heard, a few bits of merchandise drip fed on Fri 21st Oct and new shirt launch Fri 28th Oct in the Ridings at 5pm.

Rumours are it's Ellgren due to supply issues with Hummel. I was at the England game in Newcastle on Saturday and saw a few bits from Dewsbury and York fans. Looks a little cheap, thin material and all printed badges - hope I'm proved wrong!

I've really enjoyed the Hummel stuff but nothing will beat ISC...

I don't know who is supplying this years kit, but there have been no issues with Hummel, so why the need to create a non issue?

Supply issues with Hummel I've heard - taking too long to send new stock hence the move to Ellgren.......could be completely wrong however!

Who did you hear that from?

The only issue with Hummel will be the bottom line. If Elgren or whoever take over it will be beautiful it’s a better deal. I’ve certainly never known of a supply issue, quite the opposite if the amount of stuff on sale is any guide.

I was told directly by the club shop that have had problems with Hummel stock. The amount of stock we had especially on the Magic Weekend range was due to supply issues at Hummel, apparently uncontrollable but issues all the same.

That's exactly what I had heard plus the 'possible move' to a more 'local' supplier may ease any stock issues going forwards.......we'll have to wait and see who we get!

Lorimar anyone?

Nowt wrong with those 1992 shirts.........

That may be the case as it is with most suppliers to be fair, Macron were the worst.

However it won't be the reason to swap suppliers, that will be down to margins IMHO.

Looking forward to new kit coming out to see what its like hoping we go traditional.i do know what make it is but not gonna say,the lad is also looking forward to it coming out he gets a fair bit given as he got to wear it at all training etc but been a fan its like early xmas to him

Hope it’s something like this

Yes would be good

Wonder if we'll with a retro shirt with it being our 150th anniversary.
