Irish Rugby gear in Lidl from January 24th

kn

Some really good value stuff ranging from €9.99 to €19.99. You could fit yourself outside out really cheaply. The polo shirt and long sleeve shirt which are 100% cotton and the hooded sweatshirt 80% cotton (the same as the likes of Nike) at just €12.99 are really great value.

I thought it would be clear to people that its not 'official' gear, but good stuff nonetheless.

The "duh" is unwarranted.

It's ok to point this kind of thing out. Many people would not necessarily know or notice this and might buy it for someone who will then not wear it. This may well be ok quality stuff but it looks nothing like the real thing.

You would be much better buying last seasons official stuff rather than unlicenced rubish like this. high levels of stock on this below

Can you clarify why this Lidl product is 'rubish'?
Also ensure you contact Lidl and let them know they are selling 'rubish'

Because it says Rugby Championship 2013, which is the new name for the Trinations. a tournament between AUZ NZ RSA & ARG

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Rugby_Championship

Because it says I support Ireland, not the Irish rugby team. You wont see too many of these around the Aviva come match day

That does not mean the product is rubbish.
Not everybody splashes out on official IRB parapharnalia. Lidl is encouraging more rugby/sports participation at a reasonable pricepoint. That's a good thing.

Lidl sell alot of officially branded stuff from various companies so its not "clear" and isnt blatantly obvious from the description in the thread title.

To me it looks like the rubbish they sell in tourist shops.

I have used Parel motel so £2.50 for a UK address and free via ParcelMotel

total price about EUR 21 (£17.50 given a 0.84 FX rate)

This Lidl rugby range is very high quality, well made and very comfortable. I bought some last year.

clothing-wise it looks fine, but it might as well say "Irish Sports Team" on the front, as its current livery bears no resemblance to any team or tournament that is in existence (in this part of the world in any case)

Just saw the ad on tv. Have to admit its very tacky looking indeed, looks like it came from O'Carroll's on O'Connell st. Aimed at American tourists. Couldn't imagine a Man Utd fan buying a footie shirt from there or a Dublin gaa shirt. Maybe a pressie for your granddad is its target market

The jackets looks good to me, worth a look

You'll be buying two then?

The jackets would be grand if they didn't have the dodgy "logos" and misleading references to tournaments that the Irish rugby team don't play in. See above.

T-K-O

no definitely not but I will take a closer look.

Everyone is well aware it's not the real deal but it's a nice jacket for game day, what ever the game may be

the ad is dreadful. They are walking towards the london olympic stadium at the end, which has NEVER hosted a rugby match, let alone one that ireland played in.

Only Branded goods allowed in a branded stadium. It is and always be Lansdowne road to me regardless of what corporate monolith slaps their name on it.

Ahh FFS lads this was a BA - get over yourselves.

He's extracting the urine, there is no dress code at the AVIVA stadium. Bring your lidl finery if you wish

I know hes taking the piss, I just dont understand why he decided to rant about the name of the stadium and why he thinks we should care.

nowuckenfurries

I'm sure people will notice it's not official! Ideal for tourists etc...

Just wear a Celtic Jersey to the match :pac::pac::pac:

T-K-O

We should force Declan kidney to wear this unofficial gear

Was in a Lidl the other day. Still loads of the rugby gear available. Wasn't even ripped to shreds the way the running gear usually is.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do something for the Lions, although it might be harder to do without infringing copyright.
