News Puma - North's new apparel partner

[Orange Peanut]

Based on what I've just been told, its certainly NOT Kookaburra lol, its far better. Stay loose.

Does your source mention why the deal with Puma was wound up so quickly?

 

[Orange Peanut]

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?

Fair enough to hope for good looking supporter gear though yeah? Unfortunately the commercial reality is that North aren't going to bring as many customers as just about any other club so we don't get to be as "choosy" as we'd like.

I mean what is the ****ing point of merchandise if nobody outside the 4 walls of the club that is getting it for free wants to buy it?

Also, just a reminder that the players this year hated the navy blue off-field kit.

So yeah... no one was happy.

I liked it. Bought the polo and hoodie. Duck the players, they get it free anyway.

Yeah I had hoped for some good things from Puma but the off field stuff has been at an all time low the last few years.

It's pretty clearly Gazman expanding into sports

Works for me hitches chinos

Hopefully Gray Nicolls do a better job.

New Balance?

My guess would be stock limitations and lack of input to the design process. Puma run on templates. You’ll see our stuff is similar to what Carlton, Richmond and gws were all getting. They are also bringing in Essendon I believe, so stock levels may get even worse. There has been a lot of delays on items over the last few years.

I’ve liked the Puma stuff, I can understand everyone not liking the dark blue this year, i didn’t mind it. But the quality has been really good from my experience. So will be disappointed if we move to a low tier apparel company especially sekem/kookaburra but not the end of the world. Will just jump on the puma stuff once it’s on clearance if this ends up being true.

Side note but it really pisses me off how rarely North is represented in these AFL products.

My kids are always asking me why there’s never north gear in shops overflowing with Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, etc gear.

They always walk a bit taller when I tell them the Roos gear is in high demand and sells out quickly.

 

[CURVE]

Anyone, even Target has to be better than Puma, I didn't buy any of their gear outside of a home jersey and a Bounding Roo jersey, their off-field garb was worse than shit.

I still walk around Canberra in a Canterbury Hoodie from about 5/6 years ago.

Our new brand ambassador.

 

[Makeshift Park]

I don't really care whether Honey Birdette is the new apparel partner, so long as they ditch the angry cartoon roo for the bounding one.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Puma made the best NMFC guernseys we've had. They didn't try and overcomplicate things, just made great looking jumpers.

Don't care enough about the off field stuff, just nail the on field attire and that's all I want.

 

[Danni_Benson]

lol Puma is like the discount bin of sports brands, one rung above Fila

Tell that to Manchester City!

I must be one of the only ones who liked it i.e I’m one of the few with very good taste!

 

[shinboner magic]

Kookaburra very apt as we’ve being copping some cricket scores against us
