Certified Legendary Thread Winged Guernsey Petition/Letter - #ReturnTheWings: WINGS RETURNED, PERIL RETURNED - JOB DONE!

[MKMatty]

Trying to find a post/thread of someone that went to a WC event (may have been club champ/an auction) that said they announced a Puma contract extension, it was only a couple of years ago iirc.


Anyone remember this post?

Someone from the board was at the medal night when they announced the wings jumpers in 2015, he may have posted in here at the time?

Pretty sure it was the season launch of 2015, and it was for 3 more years. So that's 2015,16 & 17, so makes sense if true that we're ditching them.

 

[Barrybran]

Still not cool though. 20 year partnership, just picked up Richmond and we're moving on?

 

[MIKE85]

They've actually been with us from the very beginning, so it's even more disappointing.

 

[Freight Train]

From what I've been told, the decision to leave Puma is based on shit turnarounds on merchandise/apparel, especially after the debacle with stocking the new wings jumpers start of last season, which has burned the bridge.

ISC on the other hand are loved by suppliers because of quick, reliable turnarounds and are more affordable.

Now, I'm not defending leaving Puma but I can understand the reasoning.

wasn't this because a train toppled over?

 

[Barrybran]

If that's the reason then I can understand that. But ISC? I dread what they'll do with our guernsey.

Maybe they'll have a snazzy new collar and all will be well. I doubt it though.

I don't think any of us will like the cut of ISC's jib.

Please just don't sign on for 7 years like Essendon. If we are to go with ISC, do a short 3 years and then get a big apparel brand again.

Anyone seen the recent efforts for the Puma merch for Richmond? Pretty classy and would probably snap up a WC version if it was Royal/yellow.

Spoiler: Richmond player

That pisses me off so much. ISC won't have anything Close to that.

Those are nice. Soccer-esque. Ours wouldn't look as good because of our logo. If we had a shield style logo it would work.

 

[Barrybran]

Both our current logo and would-be logo would look just fine on both the jacket and shirt.

 

[MIKE85]

Too soccer-y for my liking.

 

[MKMatty]

I'm sure the bogans in Rockingham would love walking around with puma on their chest.

I gotta say, I actually give zero shits about what our non guernsey merchandise looks like.

Seriously, who buys/wears that stuff? (Don't answer).

As long as our on field jumper looks good I couldn't GAF about the other shit.

If it looks like shit I wouldn't be wearing them to places like the gym or when I go out on walks etc.

I don

Polo shirts are good for gameday. Jumpers (not playing) too.

I'm not too fussed on the branding as long as they look good and wear ok. Some of the Puma stuff has not been great once you wash it (polos mainly).

Fair enough. I usually wear a parka to the footy as it's always cold af

I also just wear old tshirts to the gym and when running because I would feel like a twit wearing official afl merch as if I rate myself a future mature age rookie prospect!

I don't really wear sportswear in general though so maybe I'm an outlier

West Coast wouldn't want you anyway. Just sayin
