Reebok it is then (new 3rd shirt p51)

Got my 11yr old the Jamaica one at xmas (full price argh!) then the fish and chip one on sale a couple of months back. The quality isnt amazing but he has been living in them and theyve not fallen apart, yet. Still a bit of mileage in them to get through the summer id say!

I think it's only us and MK Dons that had Reebok this season and the quality of their shirts looked just as terrible as ours. 

I assume it's down to the license holder in the UK as some of the other Reebok brand shirts look better e.g. this Panama third shirt for the World Cup looks a thicker material

Reviews for UK licence holder don't seem to be good in anything that they do.

Think they've got the licence for New Balance too .

Reebok don't actually produce anything anymore. The company that owns them owns over 20 different brands (including Reebok, Eddie Bauar and some other relatively well known 90s brands) and describe themselves as a "brand custodian". They simply outsource and license all the brands.

What a great world modernity is

Anyone know if/when we're likely to do heavy discounting on this season's shirts? Usually try and grab myself one around this time when they're cheaper and would love the Jamaica colourway 

Just seen that the official reebok shop have this shirt in stock: 

https://www.reebok.eu/en-gb/products/third-mens-shirt-chattrma-8880?variant=56716592644444&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=awin&utm_campaign=alwayson_uk&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=176013&source=aw&awc=121516_1778012395_8881d923f551f4d1277c17deaf13a457

I'd wait for more than 10%, surely being end of the season it'll drop soon.

Remember guys, dont throw footy shirts in with your regular wash. Fabric conditioner will ruin anything thats been heat pressed on. Wash separately on a low temperature delicate cycle, with no fabric conditioner, ideally inside out in a wash bag so it wont rub against the drum and rip off anything not stitched down. 

Would love to go back to Hummel one day now they've sorted everything out with their distribution after the previous UK one went bust

Didn't buy any of this years kits because the quality looked really poor and more like the fake shirts you buy on holiday. 

Have brought Castore stuff in other sports and their quality was pretty shabby too. 

I bought a home shirt in the end of season sale. Definitely cheap materials and the sponsors logo is peeling off after one wash. Not impressed.

Sanguard didn't get much right as an owner, but his deal with Hummel gave us probably the best shirts of the last 10 or 15 years.

It was under Roland that we signed up with Hummel. We moved to Castore under Sandgaard.

Well, I obviously mis-rembered that - I thought it was the Danish connection. I stand corrected.
