FAW Megastore & new kit

[cymruunedig]

Anyone else having trouble accessing the FAW Megastore? Keep getting a message saying the link is broken! That website is getting worse and worse...

Also, still no news on the new kit? I understand we've got a 6 year deal with JJB Sports, although the Champion deal is coming to end. Not that it will make us play any better, but any chance of a Puma, Nike or Adidas deal??!

Hope we have a new manufacture of kit, not impressed by any of the champion kits or leisure wear. Would love adidas to manufacture the Welsh shirt, the adidas shirt from the early eighties has got to be my favourite shirt.

I love the adidas one with the white sleeves and the other one worn in the mid-eighties (Sparky goal v Spain), Scots have just secured an adidas deal so why not!?

I'm still wearing the second all red Kappa shirt (the first one went pink over time!) and don't plan on buying a new one until it falls apart BUT if we were to have Adidas make us a kit to the standard of the German kits of recent years, I would happily be mugged off for £60 to get one.

yep - the original kappa is the best. my mrs wore it for a shift at the pub during the WC.

i'd like to see an old-skool kit next - something unique and preferably different from the other nations near us.

The campaign to reprise the mid 70s Admiral kit starts here, starts now!

Trendy, the shirt we had before the current one (with the white v-neck and no trim) was pretty old-skool. I have that one.

we also had another Kappa home kit after that - the round neck with a white collar and a red dragon print on the front

I think the the red v-neck was one of the 2 classic Kappa kits - the other being the all-red one we wore in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers

if we could return to adidas that would be superb

I hope the FAW haven't been tied into a 6 year deal with JJB. My experience of JJB stores is that every thing is on sale and the quality is poor. The company seems to be in freefall and is closing more stores than they are opening. The FAW needs to get the new kit out there, stalls at agricultural shows, eistedfodds, festivals, junior football tournaments etc. Not entrusting a chavy sports outlet with supplying our country's kit. I live in England and can see England kits to buy in all the places you would expect. When I was in Wales I wanted to get a shirt to take home, but couldn't find one in the area I was.

I feel the brand of the kit is not important, the FAW crest is what should sell the kits, the style and price comes next. As a personal point of preferance, I prefer the simple kits not the ones with piping,stripes and branding all over them. I think we've had nice kits lately but getting your hands on them is difficult and the FAW need to make sure every welsh person who wants one should be able to get one.

Bring back the dark blue/turquoise jobbie we had under Bobby Ghoul! Reminds me of the glory days of Lee Nogan and Vinnie Jones' captaincy....

You can usually get the old welsh replica jerseys in the welsh Burtons menswear shops
