Patagonia has their ironclad lifetime guarantee. If something breaks just send it to them and they'll repair or replace it for nowt. That's why their shit is worth paying a slightly higher price for.

The owner did just give away the company to a trust with the entire purpose of combating climate change, so you'd think they'd have some level of backbone. Not sure where they sit on murderous regimes/sports washing mind. Isn't mentioned on their website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the reasoning behind the two different sponsor logo's ever been talked about? As a kid I was always a little disappointed as I had the blue star shirt, and in my head it felt like the team wore the McEwans Lager shirt more. I did like how, whilst there were three keeper tops, I only ever recall Mike Hooper wearing the orange/yellow one. Went with his ginger hair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I don't really mind releasing lots of stuff, that's class in theory. The problem is that the Castore stuff is awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time a common theory was that the Blue Star didn't have the same national recognition as McEwan's Lager did. Hence why we saw McEwan's Lager on the away shirts and wore it when we wore the home kit when we played away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I wish people would stop with the Adidas concept kits. Not because it's annoying in itself, but more because it pisses me off we still likely have at least one more season, potentially multiple, with Castore.

TK-421 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) My DHGate snide arrived this morning, and its absoluetly bang on, really pleased with it. Cracking for £15 delivered Reason for getting Burn 33 on it, I 'may' be able to get it signed by him, if not the whole squad (work connection). This seller also did 3XL size, which fits like a UK XL, so unlike the 'Adidas' XXL ones I bought, this one actually fits me!
