It seems like they are chopping and changing players and coaches... is that planning for the long term?

A) You have a deal with Raging Bull and not Halbro
B) You did not lose money, you did not pay the suppliers who took you to court and got CCJ's against you so in fact you only paid the amount you owed. MK ordered a silly amount of Under Armour shirts then remembered you dont have a shop so sold them out of boxes behind the bar.
C) You are correct that every brand worth it's salt turned down the chance to get involved and with Raging Bull being one of the only options the club accepted very strict payment terms and handed over the retail operation meaning they get a royalty on replica sales and not control their own merchandise.

It is a sad situation that your owner and management brought upon themselves.

Where have you heard this about Raging Bull, they sponsor one of our local amateur sides...says it all really.

Yes we are like Faulty Towers, MK is very Basil esque and Martin Vickers Manuel.

To be fair no many casual RL or sports fan could tell you who the bigger brand between ISC and raging bull is. They both have very little presence in the UK

Agreed. Some people get very worked up over who is making their clubs kit.

For me, as long as the replica shirts are of a decent enough quality so fans aren't getting screwed over, it really doesn't matter who makes them. So it's all about the best deal for the club and which brings the most money in.

Obviously Salfords terrible management in the last few years is coming home to roost.

Correct. ISC is to Under Armour or Nike what A Nissan Sunny is to a Rolls Royce.

Surprised anyone can even remember the Nissan sunny, I thought that nightmare has been lost in history and scrapyards hahaha

I nust agree though, ISC isn't particularly great quality. Every year they do the hull shirts with a massive KC advert on the neck and it just peels off after a couple of months. They did one in 2011 which had the sponsors as sown on patches and the material was thicker, really liked that shirt but then they have all been, thin, glossy, cheap nylon ever since.

New Hull FC kit being launched on Friday, on sale Saturday, we are marketing the thing with the hashtag #V4Victory so I think we can say it is gonna be a V design, one of the few teams still with ISC it seems.

Fans always get screwed over with replica shirts and not just in RL.

How much do you think it costs to produce a screen printed 2 piece shirt, it certainly wont be above £10.

BUT, they are a great income stream for ALL clubs and if supporters didn't buy them, the clubs would need a different/new revenue stream.

I know we don't like to talk about the other code on here but, if you want a rip off shirt, an England RU shirt would be the thing to buy, although there may be a sale somewhere near you quite soon
