While I agree that away kit isn't great Macron seem to be doing well for themselves with the amount of clubs now using their stuff. Will be picking up the home jersey anyway so will have a better idea of the quality when I actually physically get my hands on it.
Also for the last number of years it has been impossible to get Limerick FC jerseys. It was always a year later the fans could buy them and always long sleeve only so this is definitely a step up. If they can keep Limerick well stocked and have some kind of a decent range we are flying to be honest.
Very few clubs can afford to get special jerseys made for them by the likes of Umbro. Most teams have to just go with the stock gear and their crest on it.

Maybe new Macron will last the pace but it is pish poor otherwise Washing Machine seperation disaster !!
I think our stuff is being made up at the moment. The aim is to have at least some of it on sale coming up to Christmas.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Shelbourne's Home and away Jerseys have been on sale since the start of November - both in the shop at Tolka and online at www.allmykit.com/shelbournefc/ A delivery was received last week end of Atlantic Jackets (a very light shower jacket in Red), Terranova Jackets (Padded Manager style jacket) and childrens away kit (sky blue jersey with navy shorts). This Friday, we expect delivery of Satyr Tracksuits (Red top and navy bottoms - as used in the FAI Cup Final), Logan Polo Shirts (Navy/Red - as worn for Cup Final; Red/White and White/Navy) and hopefully replica home (Red) jerseys for children.
The shop will be open during the Airtricity Under 19 Elite League game v Pats (KO 7.30pm) and again on Saturday from 2pm to 5pm. Other opening hours can be found here - http://www.shelbournefc.ie/news.php?id=2014
Of the other 'Macron Clubs' - Limerick seem to have their home and away(?) jersey available in their shop in town, not sure what else, Bohemians have some training tops for sale online (again not sure of shop) but seem not to have the jerseys for sale yet (on line anyway!) - and Longford don't seem to have unveiled any of their new gear yet.

New Limerick Store open in town. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Offici...183182?sk=wall
Can see on the Facebook page for the Store what new Macron gear we have. Our Academy teams have been wearing macron gear for months now and they seem to have supplied the shop with a decent amount of gear which is a good start anyway.
I was hoping for something along the lines of the Bologna kit (aka Limerick's away) for our away. Still haven't seen our away in the flesh.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Here's a better glance at Limerick's gear for the year. Fairly nice stuff, enjoy.

Get into them! ( They're easyyyy! )
Yeah, Jofspring, the Macron gear looks to be of good quality and they have a good range available.
Our Young Reds have been wearing Macron since the start of their season and seem to be very happy with it - and its being admired week in, week out.
In my comments about availability above, I had been on to the Limerick FC on-line store and couldn't find Macron there - will it be available on-line?
.
I don't think the club are pushing the online sales at the minute, and I think the opening of the store will only further reduce the urgency I'm afraid. If you have a Facebook account, log on and Jof posted a link up there, or look through the links I posted there for the full range of gear!

Their stuff kind of reminds me of Masita who we used in roughly 2003-2005 in that the jerseys themselves aren't anything to write home about but they have a good range of other merchandise that should sell well. We sold a large amount of stuff in those couple of years, aided by being in and winning the cup finals obviously. Even now you still see a people wearing the jackets and tracksuits they got then.

What's with the two stars over the crest on Limerick's shirt?
One for each bankruptcy.

Limerick's away jersey is class. Nicest jersey I've seen in this league in a long while.
