They've been awful with stock. They seem to cancel or limit orders almost immediately after launch to stop them being left with the old stuff.

But these Adidas jerseys are absolutely putrid. Doesn't look good for Leinster

Lifestyle pick and choose what they want to stock.
This season's training gear is a beauty but they only stock in in player's fit.
Which is handy enough for training / gym wear but not leisure.

Presumably he meant the exclusive rights deal with Lifestyle.

The jersey are not great compared to Canterbury. But then the club has to sign off



But the other sportswear with branding is better. Tracksuits etc with addidas are a lot better than anything Canterbury came out with

You reckon? I got the jacket and one of the jumpers last year and they just felt cheap and were very expensive.

Canterbury wasn't great either there in fairness.

Track suit bottoms and stuff like that.....decent quality but look a lot better than anything Canterbury had

Don't look great now at all.

Agreed thanks razorblunt! Other retailers such as independent sports shops would be getting my business or other online retailers that can offer more merchandise.

No 2 stars on the jerseys?

I haven't bought a jersey for years for this exact reason. The prices are outrageous.

davo2001

"Old" jersey is now €40 if anyone is interested and if you're a member of the MRSC you can get it for €36.

They've never put stars on the jersey.

I'm not really a jersey person but I like them, the away one looks great but if I buy a Munster jersey I like to buy a red one and I really like the new home jersey with the full coloured logo.

The collar isn't a huge issue for me but I can see why people might be annoyed that it doesn't have one.

I might ask Santa for one this year.

We don't put stars on our Pro14 gear

€80 (€72 for MRSC) is madness for a jersey, how much do they even cost to make? I do like the 'PSG' one.

I have no idea how people are taken aback by the prices every single year. It's not like they haven't been extortionately expensive for years.

I doubt they cost that much if you can buy a knock off with a sewn in crest and Adidas sponsor for less than 15 euro

How much does Munster make from those knock off jerseys?

The pre-order for Leinster is up at 75 quid.....


All us poor Leinster fans can afford to splash the cash like you rich Munster fans

They should introduce quality control at the stadium.....


Anyone with knock off jerseys out the door.....


You dont need to buy the newest and greatest, they always reduce last years stock. At least the stuff from last year will still count towards jersey sales

They have their deal with Lifestyle to back them up surely? How much money that Lifestyle get for the jerseys goes back to Munster?

That deal is surely dependent on what jerseys are sold by official retailers and would certainly not include knock off jerseys

I think it was the same poster who had this discussed on the Munster thread last year.......its the same argument been used now as it was last time....


The deal is based on how many jerseys the company can sell. So buying knock off's mean that next time Munster try to negotiate they get less money. He/She posted the same stupid things about Lifestyle the last time as well.

Mr Mclove knows this already but anytime a jersey is mentioned on thread is fires up the same thing.....

I think the necks will be fine, it just doesn't help that the pics are of two skinny lads with long necks.
