News Puma - North's new apparel partner

[kool kangas]

No, no, no. You must judge entirely based on the feels.

I guess we don’t know? I’m assuming the club has done the sponsorship $ vs merch sales $ and decided it’s worth it. I assume they also take into account the marketing/positioning hit… Collingwood wouldn’t partner with Anko for instance

From my POV it’s a shame cos I like buying merch but won’t just for the sake of it.

Collingwood turned their back on all leading brands at one stage and set up a partnership with Star Alliance to create bespoke on field gear.

But it takes forever to dry on a winter morning. And don’t get me started in windy days.

That's what my hair used to look like but now when I grow it long, it's more like Einstein.

Kookaburra ain't happening fam. Everyone needs to chill.

Not next year as New_Roo has already informed us.

I’m more like that with the grey I guess. But the grey is on the sides.

Why is this thread so hostile lol?

 

[numchuks]

lol at people talking down Puma as low grade.

It’s literally one of the top 3 sports brands globally, after Nike and Adidas.

Our kits home + away, have never been better.

The fan gear is the best it’s ever been. Hoodies that I can actually where out. We even got a limited edition retro sports jacket out of them too (can they please do another run, I missed out on my size).

If we end up with Kookaburra we are stuffed.

Given that this has turned into a fashion thread enjoy the critique of Nick Daicos’ Brownlow outfit …

Star made some truly awful gear.

Puma is fine, the guernsey looks good but man I really don't know if they're comparable in the brand stakes to Nike or Adidas these days. Other than the retro jacket (which is mint) the supporter gear has been okay but certainly could be better. I dunno. Kookaburra would be so daggy I'm kind of into the idea?

Yeah that's a valid point you have there. If the only good supporter gear out of the Puma contract has been a 90s throwback jacket, then there's no danger going to a potentially daggy company as everything they offer will be 30 years out of date and therefore desirable.

Having said that, I do think one or two of the hoodies from Puma have been pretty sharp. I don't rate their polos but the guernsey has been first rate.

Because they are Bigfooty Norf Nuffies.

The sh!t supporters we get at games, but hidden behind keyboards.

Went to the Roo Shop around three weeks ago and picked up an Indigenous Jersey for only $40 after using my voucher. Looks great.

Yes it's a carefully designed bib to catch all the drool from the adoring media types

Why do you come here? You clearly despise it.

Another reason we need to switch away from Puma...

Essendon is now Puma for 2025 and beyond as well.

 

[CURVE]

Where are the moderators when you need them. You should be banned for life for posting that God awful piece of shit jersey on the North Board.

New collar for us and different coloured puma logo bottom right of the jumper. Otherwise everything looks the same (stripe width etc.)
