Really does look like they’ve gone to a Poundland shop, then ironed on a badge transfer. You’d think that having won a contract a company would initially try an impress their client with their wares. OK when you’re running a contract down with no chance of re-engagement take the p*ss, but this is just shocking at this stage of a client relationship. I’ll just give them the benefit of doubt that they just aren’t geared up to supply quality clothing - which makes you wonder why we engaged them in the first place - but come the Summer and retail sales time they will significantly raise their game (and product quality). It has been a totally underwhelming start though and if I had entered a contract with them, I’d already be reading the riot act. In all this mess, I do wonder where our new CEO is and why he hasn’t issued a statement about the (lack of) quality of their products. Could it be he’s a bit embarrassed about how this relationship is working out I wonder? Not a good start. The quality of it all looks so poor, yes granted I haven’t seen any of it in person yet but i think just from the pictures we get an idea of what it’s going to be like. My only hope is that the club will realise their mistake and we only stick with O’neills for a season or two at the most. I wonder what length of contract we signed with them? I can’t remember actually seeing anything about that on the OS when it was announced.. As others have said why we rushed to ditch Hummel when seemingly every other club in the country has managed to sort the supply issue out with them is baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do prefer the hummer adidas kits but if more people can get their hands on the kit all year old round with O neils then I see this as a better deal for the fan, although we are yet to see the away kit and training gear . Not much point having a plentiful supply of a terrible quality product that no one wants to buy. Wish we’d done what Coventry did and negotiated a new supply chain for Hummel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory the announcements stated that the kits would be for the rest of this season and next. No mention of anything after that, which also includes no mention of how long a deal has been agreed. This could imply that we have signed a contract until the end of next season, and anything longer could depend on whether they can fulfil the kit orders as needed, and/or feedback from supporters. At the end of the day if the product is shoddy and nobody wants to buy it, that's a hell of a lot of lost revenue. Of course I could have just missed the bit about the actual contract derails, but can't remember seeing anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 You just know they’re going to flog this stuff for the same price as the superior quality gear from Hummel. They’ll want £50 for a poor quality polyester home shirt, £35ish for a kids one, £60 for a hoody. Piss poor. Hope I’m wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s hoping “multi” just means two - the rest of this season and next season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we’d done what Coventry did and negotiated a new supply chain for Hummel. Perhaps keeping with Hummel was the preferred option, but maybe they were too slow to agree details, or confirm if they were able/willing to carry on supplying kit. Perhaps we gave them a deadline and they didn't meet it. If that were the case then fair play to the club. The new kit may not be great, but at least it meant that we were able to get something finalised on time, rather than waiting until the 11th hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the meltdown if it turned out we couldn't organise a deal for the new kit while running out of the old kit. No shirts available for next year? We don't know what was happening with discussions, obviously the new shirts weren't organised and made overnight. Those conversations could have happened and been given up on several months ago, long before Coventry managed to do their deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 A lot of comments on here talking about the quality before it's even been seen first-hand. One of the comments was about how the data vests could be seen through the yellow shirts but here is a picture of Joe Low playing for Wales in his white Adidas kit with his data vest clearly visible through it. So are Adidas also rubbish quality? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Well after seeing the quality of the shirts in the shop on Saturday, I won't be buying one that's for sure. It really does look like one of the fakes on the Spanish market stalls. Goalkeeper top looked better than the red one to be fair, although even that looked cheap. The original TFG shirts were better quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Got the home shirts at the Rotherham game. Sons back of shirt name printing started coming away after one wash (following instructions of not washing for 48 hours, washing inside out and no conditioner). Took it down on Saturday and they resealed but the number is now crumpled to hell and it’s damn near unwearable. Taking it down this week for an exchange/refund… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 It's disappointing that we couldn't build a better relationship with Hummel, some of their kits were nice, and they've done some great kits for other teams.
