Love the jerseys. Hate the socks.
Wish that away kit was what we ran out with against the Brumbies back on the 10th Feb 2006. Fantastic.
If anyone is looking for ideas for a Mother’s Day gift for a Force mum this year, look no further than the Paladin online store! They are doing a pre-order offer for a ladies replica 2020 home or away jersey with a box of chocolates thrown in.
Be quick though as the pre-order ends on Sunday 8 March!!

Is it available at the shop at HQ? I still have to pick up my membership, I can kill two birds with one stone
Sadly not. The Force didn’t arrange for any ladies jerseys to be available for purchase through the normal channels as they reckon they’ve not sold well in the past and they didn’t want to be left with unsold stock.
This is a special run that Paladin are arranging at my request. The only way to get one is through the Paladin website.
You should be able to get men’s and kids’ ones at the HQ shop though.
That's good, I was after a men's one for myself. :redface:

Does anyone get the impression that Alison might be excited about Paladin making Ladies Jerseys?
Kinda disappointed about the tshirts:

Why are jerseys made here but tshirts not?
Gahhh. You guys know me too damn well!
I’m particularly excited about the ladies jerseys as we are massive supporters of the game and the team and it saddens me that we weren’t catered for in the main order for the second season running.
I know it’s important for the Force not to make a loss on the merch and I totally agree it doesn’t make good business sense to order stock you don’t think you can sell. BUT, the Force could have done what Karen and I have done and ask for a pre-order set up if they didn’t want to actually carry the stock.
I’m surprised that the polo shirts sell better than the replica jersey. I know far more women who want the jersey rather than the polo shirt.
The answer is simple, price. Jerseys in this country cost $150, polos cost about $50. No wonder teams struggle to sell them don’t attract bigger kit deals. Our provincial kit deals are woeful.
To add to that they release a new one every year.
There is a reason why teams like Munster and Leinster attract Adidas. People buy the jerseys as the prices are reasonable. The quality is so good they keep.
Pretty sure the Force stipulated that their jerseys should not cost people more than $100. Hence why they are sold at $90 plus P&P. I agree it’s still a lot for the amount of wear they get but it’s another way that teams like ours have to make much-needed cash.
I have to say that Paladin have been absolutely awesome, both to deal with and in their willingness to do whatever they can for the sea of blue. They are approachable and incredibly responsive. Plus their designer has done a stellar job this season!
