Don't mean to be a grinch but it looks exactly like the same stuff from this year. Not fair to put the polo up as that is extra dosh.

Meh again from the Club particularly considering the coin for the level of membership.


It's like they don't even care that our colours are black and WHITE and have again gone the cheap route in making the caps and polo's predominantly black.

You can be sure this is a production cost cutting decision rather than a design one with the net result being a supporter base decked out in apparel that doesn't stand out in the grandstands compared to most of our opposition.

Add a decent splash of white and brighten up the Colingwood army Ed.

If that's the case, they can alternate between black and white each year, keeping the cost cutting, but achieving satisfactory grandstand aesthetics as long as some of the supporters are wearing old apparel and some new.

I like the black... wouldn't buy one that was mostly white.

When players & staff wear the shirts, it's the shininess that I find more remarkable than the dominance of black (rather than black and white). Are those shirts water-proof by any chance?

Same here.
Once white gets dirty or a bit aged, you can't get it back again.

A polo shirt having short white sleeves, white panels on the sides or a couple of white stripes of differing thickness along the front wouldn't make it predominantly white.

What the club produces for members is just dull.

Another way of remaining "cheap & nasty" but having both black and white would be for some of the gear to be black and some white. e.g. black shirt and white members' cap or scarf.

Received my membership pack on Monday.

Liked the stickers and the social club and legends member badges. Not impressed with the fabric of the scarf as it looks and feels cheap.

It's a bit of a bug bear for me. Legends member for nearly ten years and apart from the keyrings I haven't kept anything. Didn't even open the scarf this year. A pin with years of membership to put on my scarf (only ever had one) would be nice. Something even a bit fancy for 10, 15, 20 year members.

Chance to go into the rooms? Discount to the Copeland? Signing session with a few players? Just something of value.

Don't get me wrong. Happy with my reserved seat and a GF ticket. That's what I pay for. I just think the club could do better.

I agree

Mine haven’t arrived yet! And we are only about 30k from the club!

Personally I like the gear in the membership pack. They listened and made the magnetic fixture bigger so you can read it now. The scarf is practical. I like the badge. Overall I think they have done a good job, but some people are never happy unless they have something to complain about.

You'd be attracted to the fixture magnet, bothead.
