Just come back from Parma having spent some time with Errea looking at some plans for development etc and brought a couple of these bad boys back with me.

Could be a nice idea for an away shirt for you lot

AAAAGGHHH!!!

My eyes.

What the hell is that?

Did you buy any nice ham?

Perpignan's 3rd Jersey!!

Didnt bring any back but I had some top notch stuff whilst there. And the best Lambrusco I have ever drank

Never been to Parma, but I love Italy, great food, great booze, great people. It's the only place where my awful driving fits in, I recall a drive into Florence where Ms. pmh was more or less in tears!

It is the only place I have ever been truly scared in the car!!

The guy from Errea who picks us up is nicknamed the Stig, it kind of says it all!!

Put that in your window with the Harlequins ball if (for some reason) you want to scare all potential passing trade mate.









Joking apart not a bad shirt, very unique eh.

We had a green one with a similar pattern in the mid nineties didn't we?

Mileeeeees better then this one!!!

Aye, fantastic shirt IMO:

Got some crackers to fill the window with



The New Vellenuve RL shirt is pretty nice

You are joking, Roofs? That's on a par with our Sharks one as the the most Hideous in History.

(Apart from the Riding bitter sponsor - nice beer.)

Paid about £20 for it off that popular auction site last year.

Pic?

They aint released a pic of it yet, I dont want to be in trouble with them garlic munchers

Fair dues.



Hey have you ever thought about linking up with Matchwinner to do some class Rovers gear?

Matchwinner



I only deal with brands with European factories and offices, it makes the meetings a bit more worthwhile

Look there's a market for retro gear - tap into it.



Had a look on Octopus Sport (Retro Rugby's site), they managed to sell out all sizes of the Hanson White Print retro shirt they did, Rovers fans (and Hull fans) love classic gear, you know it makes sense.

There is no money in it, trust me, otherwise Hull and Rovers would of made retro shirts pal.

Best thing to do is hope that Kooga design a decent shirt sometime in your lifetime

I'd buy retro.

But I [uWILL NOT[/u, =#000040under any circumstances buy off the internet - too much fraud - so rely on shops.

But, of course, you don't find retro Hull gear in Pauline's Gift shop or Chinese Laundry. If I could visit a shop supplying clean, used Hull FC kit I'd buy all my Christmas presents from there. Gap in the market, methinks.

Hull have on a few occassions, + presumably they've sold out their stock each time, otherwise they'd still be stuck with it which I don't believe they are.



Obviously that's never going to happen, so IMO there's a golden chance for someone in Hull to pick up the ball and run with it. Take it and sprint Digger.

Hmm, partly agree about fraud, although it is possible to weed out the dodgy sellers on auction websites, e.g. if you buy from a seller with 100% positive feedback it's usually quite safe.

By the time we have buggered about designing it, making it and shipping it the mark up would be rubbish unless you charged around £75 a shirt and who is going to pay that for a retro jersey?

Plus there is the small matter of the clubs stamping their feet and complaining about use of badge/design etc.

I don't want anymore emails squeaking threats at me

Fair dues, you know your business better then me mate, shame though.



Mental eh, IMO you'd be doing nothing wrong - if Rovers want to continue having a very poor range of merchandise in this area I don't see why independent businesses can't give fans what they want.

100% got that part right, i honestly and truely think i could do a better job myself.

do any of you remember nick halafihi? i was in his office the other day (he's a university lecturer of mine) and saw a matchwinner KR shirt!

was he ever any good for you?
