Hats off to our retail department once again. Some fans might not like the shirt or the colours, which is fine, but what really matters is whether it sells, and it sounds like this range has flown out of the shops.
I understand what some are saying about us not pushing our irregular hoop brand out in Aus (we are playing in the home kit vs Wigan), it's a valid point. I suppose it's a case of weighing it up between short term retail success, and what could happen further down the line. Personally, I think they've got the balance right playing one game in each.
Also, the one colour that should NEVER be on a Hull FC kit is red, not green

Yes, absolutely "hats off" to our commercial department who didn't send me my season pass, charged me for "recorded delivery" and then told me to pick it up in person, utterly fantastic!

Whilst 12k replica shirt sales is a fantastic achievement I am disappointed with the lack of quality merchandise, particularly polo shirts, in the shops.
I really like the polo shirts the staff wear which were launched late last year.
Went in to buy one in January for my birthday and they only had size small left. Asked when they would be getting more in to be told they wouldn't be. Once they have gone that is it until they launch a new design.
That was two months ago and I'm still waiting to see what they launch.
Appreciate they don't want to buy in so much stock they are left with loads at the end but feel they are losing custom at the moment.

You have to be quick off the mark when the ranges are replaced, which is pretty frequent. I'm a big fan of the training shirts tbh, particularly the more expensive ones.

So it would seem this season but not sure that has always been the case as they were often selling things off cheaper.
But it must be 3 months nearly since they had polo shirts in large or extra large and I think will be missing out on custom.

White collar and white shorts with primrose and blue hoops have never been seen with ISC.
You get some really decent kits off them though. Well done on the numbers sold!
That's down to your retail department surely? We meet with ISC regularly and give them specs on what we want, often several years in advance.
