I was speaking to one of the Lads in BLK and he said that there were some big orders coming from the U.k for the Connacht gear. Which if filled would have left them very short on product. The new gear looks class even if the Lifestyle logo looks like it was added as an after thought.

The new @connachtrugby Away kit will be revealed next Tuesday - 30Sept! #strongertogether pic.twitter.com/H74RKix0gv

Does that mean it will be on sale too? The 20% voucher all season ticket holder got runs out at end of the season. I might get to pre pay for it and use my voucher. Otherwise I might not even bother with the jersey this year

The only team we play in the league with the same colours are treviso anyways aren't they? Even then they've hoops, could potentially get away without a change....

the pretext, I guess, will be : it's a blue and/or white one, and Glasgow has these colors, so home jersey again... :whistle:

Approaching Gameweek 4 and still nothing in regards our away jersey..

Bit of a farce

Ask the branch if they needed a bailout last year because they completley overestimated how much they were capable of selling. The branch, like most professional sides, certainly has a massive influence on the jersey design and the range. A number of options are presented and the organisation makes their preferences known.

It was no mere coincidence the online store shut down last year.

One thing that I noticed during the opening of the premiership game was the change in kit for London Irish, they have gone all green from top to toe !

In fairness they use an Irish company (O'Neills) and I am always surprised that some of the Irish provinces do not use them and all the outlets that they would have as the main supplier of GAA gear in Ireland.

It's not the Branch it's the effing stores, they decide what range they take from BLK and how and when they promote products.

The lack of ambition to promote our kit drives me absolutely cracked, there's a bigger market out there than these clowns (Elverys/ RugbyTech/ LFS & BLK) believe. They're all just cajone-less when it comes to going the extra mile.

We may be one of the smallest teams in the UK & IE in terms of attendances, but our gear sells fairly well, not just to our own supporters but among other clubs fans too as generally we always have decent kit...

2011-12 we sold more jerseys than the likes of Bath, Saints and Wasps,and with the sort of marquee signings being brought in now that should be increasing if the our suppliers buy into the Connacht Brand and really market it..

I bought 2 jerseys last season, probably one 1 this season. The 20 per cent runs out at end of September so I'll have my jersey by then. I want see all 3 jerseys before I choice which is nicer and buy

I seen pictures of the under 20 game vs ulster. Thought oh black jerseys, then copped they were rugby tech jerseys

I saw that in the 20's game.......... wearing kit that was two or three years old, pretty shoddy. BLK must want us to be in their kit, how can they not have it ready. Really poor form

seriously, whoever has the job whether it's Connacht branch HO or BLK, or both, it's a complete cock up again. I used to always blame rugbytech for the jersey delays. Can't be that BLK are the same. The office is the common denominator here. Just saying

More typical than sad.

Sad
And If 'Burgh team plays in black, will be hard to see the difference with the navy blue back on Connacht jerseys

Branch said on FB in a reply that team playing in home strip on Friday and the away jersey launch will be soon

anyone got a pic or link to a pic of the away jeresy all i can find on Lifestyle sports is the home jersey or even if someone could tell me what it looks like, i won a competiton for a new jersey which is the reason I'm asking

announced in August "The Connacht away kit will be revealed in advance of the new season while the third alternative kit, worn for European games, is due to be revealed in October."
