ISC going bust

[avocadoontoast]



Some of their stuff

To be fair they actually don’t look bad at all.

Steeden is quite disappointing if true. More mediocrity coming our way. May as well go back to Blades and the cheap crap they would make.

Why were Blades cheap crap ?

P.s I don’t do any laundry .

The polo shirts would barely last a year without fading or going fuzzy. The quality wasn’t as good as ISC I don’t think.

I don’t trust my mrs to wash anything decent .
I take it to mum ?

Don't look that bad

Are these designs meant to look retro?

I used to have a shirt and the Washing instructions on the tag said “give it to your mum she’ll know what to do” ???

It is an interesting situation. If I was to be offered some of their non clothing products I would jump on it, but if it was their clothing I would avoid it completely.

What else do they manufacture?

That is a tricky question to answer. Let’s say that it is products in the sporting landscape.

Looking at some of Macron's jerseys, it fits with the concern about their designs that @Craegus raised 

Not so much as I've liked some of their stuff, and their templates (mostly).

With that being said though I like some of the designs that company we are going with have made, but not elements of the manufacture, especially in the last couple of years.

I'm enjoying this guessing game lol, just a shame we can't get an answer from you at the end lol

You will. But not for a long time unfortunately.

And it may keep you happier the longer you don't know, because the longer I know the less happy I am about it.

Local or international company?

All I can say on that is that they have an international presence.

What hope have we got with a decent jersey ?

Yep he did.

I do hope my source is wrong (though he was basically certain of it), but as others have now mentioned it, it seems like it is all but confirmed.

A real step backwards for the club in my opinion, especially when I have also heard that Puma, New Balance, Castore are all likely to have one club each. Classic have probably picked up 2 clubs (one of these is not an ISC club), Dynasty may have 1 more club, and Under Armour may have snagged a team, but that one could also go to Puma.

My source was not 100% certain on all of these, but had some confidence. There were others, but he couldn't remember them off hand and I haven't been given an update.

Maybe we are judging too soon, but I would have taken any of them before what we have likely ended up with.

As I mentioned before, I really hope that they are either paying us a large amount for the rights (and I mean way over our value), or this is just a placeholder deal (for maybe a year) as we were left with having to make a quick decision as perhaps we still had time quite a bit of time left with ISC, and them pulling the pin at this time of year meant we didn't have a chance at any other manufacturers so late on.

Problem with the big brands is merch is a limited run. If you are having a good season, it is unlikely that they will suddenly ramp up production to meet the relatively minor demand that is a league clubs following.

Very true, but it could also bee looked at quality over quantity.

Also though, these manufacturers tend to outsource manufacturing to others, so production could be increased if they wanted to.

So I'm. Confused is it steeden or Gray Nichols?

I think Grays group own Steeden, Gilbert and Gray Nicolls, but I could be wrong.
