Also: we have one of the amazing Connacht Clan fleeces left, it'll be up on the shop shortly, but if anyone wants to nab it drop me a note!

We'll be in the Clan bar before the game, and for a good bit of time after the match. Don't forget we have Player of the Year post game, so there'll be entertainment too!

Re: the size of the BLK logo, it's a standard size for BLK merch, it's the same as on Connacht BLK polos or 'generic' BLK polos. If it's not your cup of tea, no problems. The committee picked the design and manufacturer of the polos after a lot of back and forth, a lot of thought and a lot of effort. We're delighted with how they turned out,we've had predominantly positive feedback (the comment above was the only negative, in fact).
Don't for a second think that the Committee (we're all voluntary and I've put about 8 hours into Committee work this week alone) do things without reason or thought.
I am not castigating anyone's efforts or commitment. I've been on my local rugby club's committee for most of the last 25 years. I've ordered loads of kit in the past - and the manufacturer ALWAYS wants their marque on our kit - and their default offer will inevitably have their logo (rarely that big, to be fair) on it. I always ask "what's in it for us"? If they're paying you something for it - well done. If they're not paying anything - and you guys all think it's adds to the attractiveness of the kit - fair enough, as you say it's not my cup of tea.

regards,
We;ll have them at the AGM, if you have any plans to attend that. Otherwise we'll arrange to get it out to you.
We should have shipping options up fairly shortly, so bear that in mind.
Thanks

Also: we'll only be bringing polos for those that ordered them - we won't be able to take money for polos on the day (mainly cause it's impossible to lug around the stock with us).

I've ordered one. Ordered a beanie too, but hopefuly won't need to wear that for a while
I'm working in deepest Munster so any Connacht merch is welcome!

Who on earth thought that was good idea? At least professional teams get paid to have sponsors names on their shirts - how much are we getting? When you redesign them, how about Connacht badge on the front of the shirt and the manufacturer's name on the sleeve - instead of the other way around? Of course, you could be very traditional and have the maker's name on the label inside the collar - like most normal shirts.
Think you are being a bit harsh here.
Maybe not your style, would be a better way of saying it?
Apologies - perhaps I could have been a little more diplomatic.
