Quality wise the stuff Salford have from Kooga is miles ahead of the gear we used to get from ISC. And we've had problems with both suppliers doing late orders and sub standard products.

We used to suffer the ISC sizing lottery, but now we have our shirts made by nike which means others suffer for our shirts and our design is gash.
I think that as a family game clubs should look to local producers with ethical policies and the cost of manfacture going to the local workers.
Not sure who that would be in the UK though.

I just hope the collar is a bit tighter than the Kooga efforts as a lot of times this season my chest hair has come up for a drink and it has looked more like I was advertising the new Wolverine film than watching Crusaders.
As long you lot come out with a decent jersey instead of knicking the Wales RU design!

I have suggested that all the championship clubs should get together and set up their own brand , Best way would be to club together and purchase an existing local manufacturer and then source inital batch purchases from abroad for best economy and then bring in the ' prints ' from abroad for assembley over here
Group purchasing would mean that all the clubs would actually make some income out of it rather than at present where very few if any make a profit from merchandising

great idea.
it's worth noting that proposals were made a couple of years ago for one manufacturer to sign a central contract covering all clubs. I think the companies involved were Puma, Steeden and another one. It ended up never happening because the prices offered were no better than what each club could get individually anyway.
