New Club Kit Supplier

New Club Kit Supplier

Alastair Gray16 Mar - 00:07

Announcement from Club Chair

I’m pleased to announce that we have agreed a new contract with Gilbert to supply our Club Kit from next season.

Many of you will recognise the name, mostly printed on balls and tackle pads, but they are a proven supplier of playing and training kit.

I’m sure this announcement has sparked a number of questions so I’ve tried to anticipate these and answer as many as I can below

1. What will the new kit look like?
The new playing shirt and socks will be the same as the current design and our club colours and logo will remain the same

2. Will I need to get rid of my Mizuno Kit
No absolutely not – as the playing shirt design and colours will remain the same and part of the new agreement is that there is no demand for us to stop wearing Mizuno. I appreciate this is particularly important to parents who’ve bought kit for their children to grow into!

3. Will there be new items of kit available
We are going to start by offering a similar range of kit as we have now, though there is scope to grow this in the future and if anyone has something they are keen to see added please let me know.

4. How can I order kit
Gilbert will run and manage an online shop for us and all kit can be ordered via this, they will deliver direct to your home and also manage any returns that are required. Via Newbury’s online shop you will also have access to all of Gilberts other items such as boots, base layers, training equipment etc. so it can be a one-stop shop for all things Rugby!

5. Will there be samples available to try in the clubhouse
Yes we will keep samples of the main kit items so that you can see sizes before you order

6. What about kit for the remainder of this season?
Currently we have stock in the clubhouse of the following items and these will be available from the bar at the weekend

• Shirts,
• Splash tops,
• Shorts,
• Socks.
• Various coats,
• Hoodies
• T-shirts / tops

7. Can I get special items for Tour or other occasions
Gilbert will be able to provide unique items for tours for all age groups and we’re also in early discussions about special items for our upcoming centenary season

I’m really excited about this new partnership with Gilbert and believe it will make the supply of kit to all our members much more efficient and open up new opportunities for expansion of our catalogue.

If you do have any questions please let me know

Thanks
Sarah
