He's a Dragon whore.

I can imagine the signs in the shop already.

"Out of Stock, Cala Millor Rhino got here first"

don't be silly, i don't pay for kit!

further sponsors will be added to that jersey!

Of course you don't. You're a Liverpool fan.

I thought in addition to the AUP, that John had added that all Manc's be banned from this forum!

Very nice shirts think ill have to invest in one of those,prefer the away red shirt.

I've always prefered the red shirt, defo gonna go for one of them when the Dragon's UK operation is off the ground!

That photo is unintentionally hilarious.

He looks like a kebab shop owner who has been given a sports shop because it was the last dying request of the previous proprietor.

bet you don't when you see the prices are €80 or roughly £70 given the poor exchange rate!

I cannot believe that Nike have sold this old design to Catalan Dragons.

What do you mean 'old design'.

This is probably one of, if not [ithe [/ismartest shirt of 2009 so far

meh, I don't like it. I hope it's a training jersey.

This is the same design of jersey that Widnes had last season and Newcastle Falcons have used in the past and it was also worn by the England Rugby Union team a few years ago.

I khnow that this picture isn't the biggest but it whows that Nike have just provided Catalan Dragons with a stock design.

Which is what Nike do. It's what pretty well every company do, come to think of it, regardless of sport. There's one design and the colours differentiate between clubs. Either way, it ain't something that's going to keep me awake at night. Club needs kit to play in. Company supplies kit. Job done. As non-issues go, this is the biggest (or should that be smallest? I dunno. Whatever).
As long as they don't use the ISC sizing guide, everyone's happy.

took the words right out of my mouth, given the substantial amount of cash that Nike are paying, they are more than welcome to give out stock items!

Really? Any figures or anything?

Well, yeah, your right and wasnt the ISC one from last couple of years just a stock design?
very similar if not identical to the Parramatta shirt design, also made by ISC IIRC.

i'm sure it will be made public (if the club wants it to be) at the announcement and launch next week!

8 billion dollars. Give or take.

bwahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Did Jason Croker give you his permission to use his photo?

i'll never forget the day i had to drive to a supermarket to get some suntan lotion for his bonse!

Awesome, cheers!

I don't know anything about this sort of thing, so I always imagined that the sponsorship might work as the shirt manufacturers making the shirts for free and the club got all the cash from the sales - or maybe the majority of cash and the manufacturers got a small cut.

no, there is a certain amount of jerseys that are given to the club for players, also a certain amount of training wear given for players and coaching staff. The club then have to buy the replica jerseys and the other merchandise from, as it is now, Nike. That is why it is such a high price this year! It's is an expensive tick on those shirts!
