News Puma - North's new apparel partner

[Passmore]

It’s a reflection of where we’re at as a club. Ideally you want to be sponsored by a brand like Nike, Adidas or Puma but Kookaburra is so far off, off Broadway even for a struggling club like us. Screams of irrelevance that we can’t attract one of the big 3 or even a lesser brand like Under Armour or Champion. Not upset just very disappointed.

How many teams have Adidas, Puma or Nike?

I can think of Collingwood, Sydney, Hawthorn, Carlton, Richmond and GWS of the top of my head.

And the quality of the Puma merchandise has been hot garbage since day one. They've been a massive disappointment in that regard.

The best looking supporter gear is actually Cotton On by a fair margin. The W polos look like good quality.

The financial aspect of the deals none of us would have a clue about. Some will claim to at some point, but they'll be lying.

It appears to be a range of generic merch for all clubs. I wouldn’t worry yet

Not sure what there is to worry about but it's a guarantee

The Kookaburra stuff looks generic for all clubs.

Nothing I can see indicates they will be exclusive North apparel suppliers.

Doesn't really matter what you can see! It's a fact!

If it is Kookaburra, I would assume they are wanting to make a splash so they should be putting their best foot forward.

And it isn't like all these manufacturers have their own manufacturing sites, if they get a decent designer then they should be able to produce good quality products.

Asics? I don't think they have an AFL link at this stage.

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

IF this is true and we're downgrading from Puma to Kookaburra, that's a pretty poor reflection on the current club administration, not going to lie.

I'm willing to give them a shot, considering the high hopes we had with a "big" apparel company and they (IMHO) produced the crappiest, blandest most uninspired gear the roo shop has ever seen.

Also, does anybody legitimately know how the process works in terms of who makes the design decisions? will Kookaburra just more or less make what our PR people tell them to make?

If Puma is the discount bin of sports brands, I’d hate to think of what Kookaburra is. Really disappointed

Maybe I imagined it or the post was deleted to avoid breaking a commercial in confidence deal.

Under Armor do good gear, it looks good too. I could go for that.

 

[Mr north man]

Ringers Western and we can dress up Jy and Luke as a rodeo clowns

They don’t need dressing up

 

[DuckYeah]

They don’t need dressing up

I fixed it.

I prefer Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Ralph Lauren. But wait, are we listing off fashion choices or hoping for the best commercial deal for the football club?
