What do the clubs get out of that?
A % think it might be 5-10% but it’s fuck all anyway. Advantage is the club don’t have to be doing the admin and O’Neills have a load of generic styles to chose from

I think clubs need to spend a certain amount a year through it too. O’Neills are coining it. It’s a pity there’s no viable alternative
I’d say bar the super clubs, most would be lucky to get the price of a few footballs or sliothars off them a year. Which O’Neills end up getting back anyway 
I remember we were told that we’d to spend £1500 but now that I think about it, that was for the first year. Either way it’s some scam they’re running.

Is it a scam though? Its meeting a demand and the quality seems to have improved again after being very ropey for a few years.

Cartel/monopoly is probably a better word

It’s around €1350 for a new senior set now, I priced with a few of the newer crowds when I was ordering a set last year and there wasn’t much in it in any case. If you get to any final now there’s usually an order for training tops or something else so you don’t be long getting to €1500.
@TreatyStones wouldn’t know much about finals in fairness. The only one they got to the stupid cunts couldn’t even get there on time and were scratched.

€50 a jersey for a set of 26 so. Must be a nice margin on that, do they make them in Dublin or how does it work?
O’Neills by far and away best value for Quality of the product you get. I’ve seen so called cheaper gear and it never lasts and it just plain shite in general.

Fact. Their stuff lasts years.
What’s funny?
Ah it’s gas in fairness
Made above in the O6 I’m nearly sure, or at least the lad I dealt with is based up there

Jerseys are made in Dublin and up North. Everything else is done in Asia and then they embroider in Coleraine I think.

The O’Neills factory shop on Longmile road is roaster heaven. Muldoons salivating over discount slightly imperfect club training tops and skinny tracksuit bottoms.
Impossible to leave it without an Asia games 2015 top
