kni Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) The brilliantly named Jagiellonia of Poland have a fantastic strip - tomasz-waldoch-jagiellonia-bialystok.jpg  Their 2010 strip was similar to ours - Jagiellonia_nowego_4518779.jpg   Here's an older one from 2003 that looks familiar - kadra2003-04j.jpg Edited July 9, 2011 by kni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 With the thinner material, is it just lighter or does it seem poorer quality? I have a nike croatia top with light material but possibly the best material from a football top I've ever had. The puma thistle tops have been too thick and warm for me, but the designs have been superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodMcDonaldJag Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) In fairness, Puma have treated us pretty well throughout our deal. A few of our kits have been unique to us. The salmon/grey horizontal stripes (the colouring, I mean), the camouflage one, this seasons one - I haven't seen any other club with that design yet. Plus, the Centenary top which was cracking.  The quality might not be great, but as I've said, I have a top which is thinner than the norm, and that might be the way kit manufacturers are going from now on.  As i said, the design is great. The quality is not. Again, compare to other strips (from all manufacturers - Puma included) at the same price and the quality is disgraceful.  Centenary top and pink/grey hoops tops have been mentioned above - Both those tops are vastly superior in quality to what we have been dished up past 2 seasons.  If we were being charged £25 for the top then i wouldn't have any complaints at all. However to have our top charged at the same price as top level shirts such as Barcelona or Real Madrid is just ridiculous. Again, wouldnt have any complaints if the material/quality was of a comparable standard to similarly priced strips.   Edited to answer Twinny: Its not some super light, modern new material to make the shirt better to play in - its just cheap and nasty. I actually spoke to guy in Greaves about it to say thats why i wasnt buying it and his response was "Yeah, sorry about that."

1 John Lambie Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Saw the strip in the flesh for the 1st time yesterday & like it, the material isn't as bad as is being made out, I'd say it's the same/similar standard to the tops we've had in recent seasons. Â Â Could it not be the bigger teams get better material, which has a lower mark-up, but as they sell more it makes up for that. We have to go for an inferior material, sell it for the same price & still make nowhere near as much profit? Â Â I don't think the material is that bad, just a typical football top feel.

I actually spoke to guy in Greaves about it to say thats why i wasnt buying it and his response was "Yeah, sorry about that."  The centenary top was of a thicker material to others but i have to be honest and say i have had no issue with the quality of the strips we,ve had from Puma.  I would have edited your post to say the top "in your opinion" was cheap and nasty........it has not been described as that by any other poster to date, or the club or greaves for that matter. I'll admit i don't yet have it but i'll be surprised and very disappointed if i find it cheap and nasty.  As for the guy in greaves....what is he supposed to say to you ? He's just been polite. His response certainly doesn't come across as if he agreed. He just had an unsatisfied customer and said the minimum to keep the peace. You made it clear to him your reasons for not wanting to buy it.....there was nothing he could do regards your view so "yeah sorry bout that" seems the best comment to make in the circumstances.  As for price, they all seem to be around the same price, no matter what teams strip you are wanting to buy. If you think it is worth around £25.00, wait a year or two and get it in the Greaves sale!! (JOKE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy bookcase Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Anyone any idea when the away kit will be out? Or what it will look like.

twinny Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Its a very good strip but no black in it. We shouldn't copy anyone. Â I imagine something like the black Spurs shirt with red replacing the white line. Other potential designs are the South Africa top or the Preston kit in predominantly black with R&Y trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 It's going to be pretty much identical to the away top from the 2nd division championship winning season - 2000/2001. SUPERB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) or the Preston kit in predominantly black with R&Y trim  That's the Germany kits, not the Preston kits. The Germany tops are lovely though.  Edit- There are Preston ones, I just never scrolled. Regardless, the German tops. Mmm.

hamiltonjag Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I was wrong about the new strip. I thought I might like it after "seeing it in the flesh". I don't. Â Still, cannae please everyone! Â Mon the Jags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhulk44 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I quite like the new Thistle Shirt, was thinking of buying it, i have heard the quality of the new shirt is not great, similar to the last jags shirt, (very thin material), is this true, is the new shirt poor quality?

jags on tour Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 No different to previous tops, no worse than I expected it to be. Â the material isnt the problem, I like my strips baggy and last seasons XXL tops were very comfortable over the beer belly, this year i got a XXXL and its smaller (or I've got fatter) than last years effort.I tried both strips on the other night there and I cant believe the difference in the sizes, im going to take it back on saturday.I dont understand how when they are both made by Puma that a strip XXXL can be smaller than the XXL!

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 The sizes are definitely smaller than usual - no doubt about it. That's really annoying especially if you're ordering online. Bad enough different manufacturers having different standard measures but you shouldn't have to anticipate the same manufacturer will change sizes. Football strips are exorbitant at the best of times. You shouldn't have to go to further expence and inconvenience returning them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
