Again, another very ordinary output of Carlton merchandise this year, both in terms of design and range.

When will the club stop accepting the metrosexual and/or 'trendy' looking stuff that is crap.

Lift your game Blues.

Hopefully the replica premiership cups available in September will look good. :wink:

hopefully they'll have the training singlets in just in time for winter when it's too cold to wear them for footy training.

Must admit, I was looking for a back-pack, and was told to go to the AFL to get one ..


great


I've since bought another non-football bag (not a back-pack) elsewhere

Be nice if they put together a decently professional merchandise brochure/site to go with the new look....

Isn't the merchandise regulated by the Fatty from the Big House?

what's wrong with it. Neat layout, not over done and simple.

Wow! I agree with Melvey! :shock:

I think the logo is too small, but apart from that, for people who complain about the "trendy" designs of recent years, I can't see what more you could want?

I think the merchandise would sell a lot better if two things were to happen

a) Twiggs was modelling

b) Twiggs spent an afternoon in the shop serving.

All discussion on what the merchandise looks like would then be irrelevant.

I like the shirt FWIW, but the diamond studs are naff as it comes.

I just can't understand the delay on the jerseys and training apparel. You'd have thought new jumpers with #5 on the back probably would have sold alright over the Christmas period, it's very unlike the new administration.

i would wear that t-shirt to a game. The design is nothing over the top and looks neat.

'KISS' keep it simple stupid.

The logo only looks small because of Walker's massive tank.

He's going to smash it even more this year.

Not a bad idea at all TBB! :idea: I think it would also increase the sales of the female merchandise if Rebecca was modelling. So guys would buy stuff cos they want to look at Rebecca and chicks would buy it cause they want to look like her. Sounds like a plan...

It's actually probably better than a lot of crap they've pumped out with print everywhere that's fashionable with the Cragieburn elite. I still think a small emblem on the booby would be far classier. I also think top-notch quality polos (outsourced to one of the better companies) plain coloured and not with the shitty cotton of the AFL shirts, again with a smallish emblem on one side would sell great. Not all of us want bodgy cheap shit to wear, it's embarrassing. I only have my guernsey (class), scarf, and a mugg as memorabilia I actually use.

$50 vs $75

interesting that the Collingwood one is sponsor free and clearly promotes inclusiveness

I would rather pay the $75 for our one than their plain crappy one. As a matter if fact I have one of those hoodies and it's fantastic. They should give members a discount at all times though not just when you ask them or when they feel like it.
