Hey Guys (and girls)

I'm looking for a few of these for my family (myself, wife and two toddler daughters). Perhaps personalised as well.

Can anyone point me to a place that sells these? I don't really care about quality so it doesn't have to the official replica. Just cheap!

Regards

Parade
You find anything & everything there.
 
Try the WP Rugby/Stormers store (surely there must be one). They'll more than likely sell some there.
 
Thanks guys.

I'm in Bellville and I see most of the sports clothing places that might have is in the Newlands area (who would've guessed :) ) so its a bit of a distance

I see a few ads on gumtree as well, but I'm not too keen on getting ripped off...

I paid almost R 700 for my official Jersey. The one with the Cup on the right sleeve with the dates and the Springbok on the left shoulder. ABSA on the front, RWC logo with the year 2011 on the right chest, Protea on the left and the 3 kiwi's (Canterbury Logo) center under the neck.

Love the material it's made out of so I'm happy with it even though it was a pretty damn high price.
 
How is that pricing justified tho? Can't the non-die-hard fans get the same gear at a cheaper price? :p I don't own any rugby tops. Me and a couple of others really are the odd ones out come Bok Friday :D
 
My original RWC wrist band I got in my Bokkie lucky packet broke !

I just e-mailed Laceys to see if they will replace it :D

I got a very nice number 11 long sleeve bok jersey as a gift and I have a short-sleeved one with the Bokkie on it (Ackermans R80) lol

You needn't be - supporter gear can be as cheap as R200 for authentic stuff, although not replicas. I have an older long sleeve (bok on heart) shirt (R150 at the time) and a newer SASOL (2010) shirt (R300) that suits me just fine - Tekkie Town carries them.

Now, where to get my argentina shirt.

I bought 10 jersey's for a client from a guy selling the fake ones.

200 bucks embroidered as well, most amazing knock off i have seen :eek:. SA made not chinese and you can tell by the amazing quality.

Branded the numbers for them as well, i did mention it was a knock off and they were a bit worried until they saw the shirt. Just goes to show badly we are getting ripped off, the same jersey is 700 bucks :eek:. Branding of the number is a bit expensive, we charge R 40.00 bucks for a name and number.

Putting absa on the shirt is expensive compared to the other logo's. You want a an absa logo though, it just makes the shirt look better in my opinion. I will upload a picture of the shirt i bought from this guy and i am buying another 80 for a client from him today.

SA is a free enterprise.
Where theres money to be made, someone will make it.
Sold 20 of these knock offs last week a buddy of mine was selling.
I see they even selling some at the street corners now (dont know if they the same).

It's the R 299 and I feel raped now :mad:

Mine does have the ABSA on the front though and the WEB cup with the years 1995 and 2007 under it on the right sleeve.

From my understanding it's not a replica but the official jersey. I might be wrong though.

Still feel raped though :mad:

Nope i don't, if they never charged so much knock offs would not be an issue. If they want to get rid of knock offs they should ensure it cannot be replicated for much cheaper, even the knock offs at 200 bucks are making are making a killing.

Don't blame me or people making the fakes for the massive market created by high pricing. Many people have 200-350 to spend but not many are willing to blow 700. If you are willing to rip people off you should not feel upset when your product is ripped off :D

Karma bitches!!!!!!
 
There was an article written last year that mentioned trucks being hijacked for this kind of cargo. That was soccer tops tho, but I would the same is going on if the story was true. Corporate greed was also touched on with reference to the obscene prices retailers ask. Manufactureres make a 300% markup and retailers 100% I think it said.

SA Rugby shop...

But now I'm pretty confused. Checking on their site now the RWC has no ABSA on the front and those that do doesn't have the RWC logo on the chest but the Springbok...

I'll have to verify this with my wife first, so please this doesn't mean the above company is at fault. Wife might have slukked the balance and bought me a knock off somewhere else :D

Will get back to you guys.
