Always think we miss a trick not having new Rovers stuff out in time for Fathers Day.Any news on the kit now we have (some) players to put in it
Quote from: roversdude on June 18, 2021, 12:00:37 pmAlways think we miss a trick not having new Rovers stuff out in time for Fathers Day.Any news on the kit now we have (some) players to put in it Those who work in manufacturing will know the trials and tribulations facing the industry at the moment. Getting anything made and shipped around the globe is an actual nightmare.But we did make Fathers Day the year before last, it didn't make the slightest bit of difference to sales at that point, and cost quite a bit in terms of prioritising at the factory and having to fly the product in instead of shipping it.
Does anyone know what colour shorts the team will be wearing next season?

They could make it in the U.K. . Doh!
Do they get the stuff run-up in China?

Adidas and Hummel manufacture fabric for football kits from recycled pop bottles now, for environmental reasons.I imagine that could happen in the UK.

Just look at any sports shirt, golf polo shirt etc and you will see most are made in Vietnam or some other Far East country.

Do you think the likes of M&S etc would be happy that their clothing is manufactured in a sweatshop?
Forest Green make their shirts from Bamboo and this season you have the option of an e-shirt, a completely digital kit you can use on social media
