Hi Gutters from a cold & frosty Biggin Hill.
In answer to your query about Polo Shirts, I bought one of the light blue & white bold stripe ones & am very pleased with the quality.
The material is proper Polyester/Cotton & the club badge is embroidered not a poxy iron on transfer.
I am normally a large size in the shirts & this one fits snugly. Can definately recommend these shirts.
As for the Shower Jackets, they looked good quality & I saw a few of those being bought.
Enjoy the BBQ's.

Salutations and appreciations young William......I'll thrown another shrimp in just for you

I got a black /blue hooped Polo and the quality seems good, nice fit, embroidered badge - acid test will be once I wash it. Likewise the hoody I got seems good quality too, it kept me nice and warm on Sunday anyway....

Hello all

My thoughts on the stock having had a rummage around

Match Shirt Away £50 - same material as last year unfortunately, plenty of sponsors, but no deal for me. I wondered what adhesive had added the sponsors on and thought they might come off in the wash
Match Shirt Home £50 - perhaps worth the trade in, but reluctant to pay £35 for the sponsors logos
Hooped Polo Shirt £30 - the second nicest polo shirt, embroidered, also what the players wear after the game
White/Sky Polo Shirt £30 - really decent polo shirt, embroidered, I bought one, very happy with my purchase
Polo Shirt - £30 - seems nigh on identical to last seasons black polo shirt, a tad overpriced for a plain back polo
T-Shirt - £25 - a silky material, seems very wearable, might not suit the chubbier guy as it will probably be figure hugging
Hoody - £35 - the blue piping and general quality make this seeem a good deal, but have last seasons so reluctant to buy a second very similar one again. If you had bought nothing since we changed back to London Broncos this would top the list for value and quality.
Fleece - £47.50 - not that impressed with the fleece, happy to sidestep this, material not what I was looking for, if it is warm it did not give the impression of being so to me, looked like a slightly thicker tracksuit top
Shower Jacket - £45 - bought one and very pleased, sure to get genuine wear from this, MKK logos minimal and out of way on shoulder which is great - don't want to advertise an unknown manufacturer prominently
Tracksuit Jacket - £37.50 - looks identical to the Shower Jacket but slightly thinner material, no point buying this if you took the Shower Jacket
Tracksuit Pant - £30 - I don't need a tracksuit but the design looked ok, though thought £30 was pricey
Shorts - £25 - same as with the tracksuit, not really interested, thought the price was probably a tenner too much
Vest - £22.50 - I'm not sure many supporters would really want a vest, design seems ok though
Cap - £15 - bought one of these, seems like a generic cap with the badge, not a great deal, but badged properly
Beanie - £15 - thought this was overpriced and the quality didn't justify a premium price
Socks - £6 - didn't notice any, seems quite cheap for socks though

All in a vast improvement to last year when in my view the Hoodies were ok, plain but useful- now most items are a better quality and the new blue piping a lot better than everything being plain black.

If MKK can probably manage the shop this year, get their finger out on a proper design for the shirts and orders sizes for the bigger supporters then I wouldn't be too against renewing with them.

Cheers
Rammo

Agree totally. Was going to get the fleece, hat and socks but only got the socks. Didn't like the material of the other stuff.

How much of the merchandise tells anyone that the London Broncos is a rugby league club? it could be basketball or any sport, I did raise the point and was told that they tried mocking up with rugby league club but it did not fit!

Wonder if they will ever get around to someone wearing the gear and take some photo's rather than weak illustrations?

One of his mates down the pub could just take a picture of him.
