Re: Puma End Ireland deal
I've heard rumours that Adidas might be stepping in. Possibly could see new kit for 2014 6N. Granted their ordinary clothes can be somewhat chavtastic but in general their rugby kit seems decent clobber. All Black, France, Italy, Lions and NZ Super 15 sides all have quality kit options and the stuff wears well down the gym etc.

Am I right in saying that the new jersey is on sale in the shops and was worn in Tblisi but the old one was worn in Canada?

Re: Puma End Ireland deal
Shocking jersey, it couldn't have been any worse had they deliberately tried to come up with a garish option. The IRFU obviously hoping for a 6N from Joe to give them some bargaining power with any new potential sponsors.

Re: Puma End Ireland deal
I would think that the new supplier would want to get in before the six nations. people dont buy jerseys for the autumn internationals in the same way they do for the 6N. New coach, new kit.leinster4life13 wrote:Shocking jersey, it couldn't have been any worse had they deliberately tried to come up with a garish option.

Puma is a safe bet. I can think of far worse jerseys than this current one, i dont like the current FRA/ITA jerseys.
I would cream myself for an underarmour jersey. They are incredible, and their apparel is pretty cool
Is Nike still on the scene?

I like the Lions test jersey. Although I could probably do with a bigger size, it's incredibly tight.mtleinster wrote:Puma is a safe bet. I can think of far worse jerseys than this current one, i dont like the current FRA/ITA jerseys.

I haven't seen much of the UA jerseys but I'd be interested if Ireland signed up with them. Their hoodys are really nice, much better than CCC.
Nike were only doing Saracens and Toulouse last I saw. I don't think they are too pushed about rugby. Certainly since they stopped making rugby boots (although the prop boots still pop up now and again), that must be 10 years ago or more now.

They could clean up with charged cotton ( almost waterproof but normal feel) hoodies.mtleinster wrote:

Re: Puma End Ireland deal
Any word on what is going to happen the O2 logo on the front?
Hutchison Whampoa ('3') have bought the Irish Arm of O2
will we now have the same jersey as the Used car sellers?

Re: Puma End Ireland deal
Asked them that question on twitter when the takeover was announced. Conspicuous silence was the only response. Of course a cynic would say that the reason for that is so they can sell as many 'new' o2 branded puma jerseys before it emerges that the team will never wear itmtleinster wrote:Any word on what is going to happen the O2 logo on the front?

Elverys posted on Facebook that the Puma jerseys are apparently for the full 2013/2014 season and not just for AI. God they're shite looking. Worst jerseys we've eve had as a national side.Dave Cahill wrote:Asked them that question on twitter when the takeover was announced. Conspicuous silence was the only response.

Branding of o2 wont change for a couple of years at the earliest I'd say.Dave Cahill wrote:Asked them that question on twitter when the takeover was announced.

The O2 brand will remain on our streets for a while, with a spokesperson saying it would be phased out over the next two years to be replaced by Three
