Errea....new kit supplier?

[St Albans Blade]

Having been that way recently? Bet they could film the whole thing at least to the Moor without passing another person.

Don't! When I was back in Sheffield for the Forest play-off game the footfall around Cathedral tram area and Fargate around 9am was like a ghost town compared to the 70s and 80s.

The bustle has just gone!

Training wear on the website. Didn't take me long... And yet more punch holes around the badge. Very poor.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

The holes are that common you could argue its actually a feature of the company to do it. But look at the absolute state of this one between 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock.

That's just shit.

And these are off the website remember.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

More holes around the badge. I just don't understand it.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Alright I admit it. The punch holes are part of the design. There's no other way of explaining why they feature on every item on the website. The designs aren't overly bad. But I'm sorry, the execution of them is dog shit.

State of it. We need to get shut of Errea asap. It was a nice idea, bespoke kits etc but no. Need a proper outfit like Umbro or New Balance.

 

[JT89]

Not over the top at all. Coming soon, different kits depending on which day of the week we are playing. Will proudly wear my Sunday best and seek out the ultra rare limited edition Thursday kit.

Will you be buying the Wednesday kit though?

I'm not saying Errea aren't a proper firm. The idea of bespoke kits obviously got a lot of people giddy. No more templates (although why that actually bothers people I do not know. There are 92 league clubs. How many separate designs do people genuinely think there can be?).

But the actual state of the stuff. It's alright saying its a small sample size but these are the ones from the actual website. You'd assume that the ones they advertise have been scrutinised for quality. Vauxhall wouldn't advertise a car with a scuffed alloy and a scratch down the side for example. Loose fabric and random holes in the stitching.

Bespoke, though.

Erm… Is that good stitching or bad stitching? Please could someone help me form a strong opinion about needlework?

 

[stringjunior]

I'm really starting to get triggered by poor needle work now. I'm supposed to be going to mum's for tea - the whole lots gonna go up if she brings out her sewing bag...

This is indeed appalling.

Just don't let her go on YouTube looking for how to recover from embroidery disasters!

I think you're the only person who.gives a shit mate
Its not a Versace dressing gown

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Will you be buying the Wednesday kit though?

Only if it has stripes on the back and it's described as the 'day after Tuesday' kit.

So we've not even got bespoke shitness FFS

 

[Westran]

Is this thread a parody of some description? Are people genuinely this annoyed?

 

[PurpleRain]

You can glue the badge on if you don’t like stitching

 

[Foxy]

Difference is, are you paying £7 for birdseye and asda own brand.

Or are birdseye more expensive?

My point is, people pay more for brand names than they do own brand. And are a lot less fussy with own brand quality as you know you're getting a lesser quality product.

So when united are selling well known Adidas at the same price as lesser known Errea, I personally can see why some folk have problems. The quality difference is actually quite telling.

 

[Flumps]

Is this thread a parody of some description? Are people genuinely this annoyed?

I think when a shirt is £55 regardless of who makes it, you want to make sure there is quality there. The club at least owes us that. I've got a few of the Adidas shirts and I personally like the quality, can't say for the Errea because I haven't picked one up yet but there are complaints I suppose.

Also, and this is just my opinion, from the cameras I think the kits do look cheap, I can't put my finger on why but from afar, to me, they just do. Personally I'd resent paying £55 for an Adidas shirt with obvious build quality then being asked to pay the same price for a lesser product. I think fans would be more accepting if they were cheaper. We're paying because of what it is regardless of quality.

There are countless of comparisons and counter arguments that can be made and in all fairness I'm not too annoyed about it. The kits aren't quite to my liking but I don't hate them either. Let's see what they come up with next season.

Nice. What's the home brand price?

Twelvety

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

My home shirt arrived. No complaints on the design, I think it's decent, but the material and stitching are a definite down grade on adidas shirts.

It doesn't feel very durable.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Can rant in whatever language you want. Makes no difference. The quality is still shit.

My point was to agree with you

It's a football shirt. 55 quid or not, you're not gonna wear it to a wedding
