Kooga!

Post by chipnchase »

Kooga will supply Tigers next season following kit bags decision not to renew with Canterbury again.

A mix of poor sales and a failed sales plan saw Canterbury looking to leave the deal and Kit bag have chosen to go with Kooga following a closed tender process.

Rumours are a return to a two year shirt cycle following Canterburys failed attempts to introduce an annual change which saw overall sales figures fall dramatically.

I don't get it? Saints have Burrda as a kit provider?

In terms of quality I'd take Kooga gear over Nike or Adidas.

We'll wait and see on the design

as long as it isn't anyway similar to the glous kit I hate the thick hoops.

Koogas kit quality may be better than Nike or Adidas but Quins and SArries kits look so much slicker than ours. It's like comparing Coke to own brand cola. Having said that, as long as we are at least making the same as other top sides. Canterbury haven't really delivered anything up to standards so my tip to Kooga would be green, scarlet and white stripes. Just do it!

If we could go back to green, white, scarlet hoops, white shorts and black socks with a red away kit id be happy. Traditionally and heritage is what this club is built on so lets start with a traditional iconic kit at least.

Yes, between 1891-1895.

Hi,
Sorry to jump in..couple of threads I'd like to comment on if that's ok - this is one - I'm a Scarlets supporter, and we have Kooga this year (Burrda previously). The 4 Welsh regions signed up with BLK (effectively Kooga Australia) for 3 years a few months ago -- not sure how or why but the Scarlets are 'Kooga' and the other regions 'BLK'...anyway the kit design has generally been well received but the replica gear and general merchandise not so...prices are low (replica shirt is £45) but material and make up reflects the price too..

The Scarlets shop is also run and staffed by Kooga...those of you who were at the ground last weekend can comment further, but the offer is restricted and un-imagaintive in my view...

Most of the rugby brands (Kooga, Canterbury, Kuqri) are owned by the same parent company these days and tend to be a bit 'samey', only the likes of Adidas, Nike, Burrda and Under Armour trade alone..
