Storm Supporters Gear
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:58 pm
I would like to raise something that has been bugging me for a number of years now. The issue is the quality of the supporters gear that is put in front of us by the ongoing apparel suppliers to the club. Also what the club put in the members packs.
Firstly, the members pack:
Just how many scarves do I need? I have about 6 of them now, all in excellent condition. If I add my wife to this then we have 12 scarves in our house.
The bumper stickers are gawdy and not something I want to put on my car. I would love to display something something that is Storm, but they look rubbish. Why not a classy little club colours sticker that is subliminal in nature and makes passing traffic think about what they are looking at. Like what Melbourne AFL club have.
The junkie seat cover of recent or the silly diary and all the other rubbish. I don't know what they spend on this stuff but I think they could do something better for the members.
Here is my big beef. The apparel suppliers have been putting out sub-standard jackets for us in Melbourne to wear during the cold months. My wife and I bought our jackets back in 1998 and we still wear them because everything that has come out since is not representative of our proud club colours or of a quality that protects you in all the seasons we get here in Melbourne.
The club gets a lot of revenue from merchandise sales, but most of it leaves a lot to be desired. Other NRL clubs have some fantastic supporters gear; we seem to be the poor cousins.
Any thoughts or comments?
