JoeQuince Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Went into the club shop today. The quality of the umbro stuff is shocking. Was going to buy shirts for the boys and honestly it's like crepe paper. The le coq sportif stuff was far better quality. Haven't bought any of the Umbro kits (even though we've had some nice looking ones). But, the LCS shirts are the ones I wear most. I've got a few Nike ones, but they just don't compare. The fabrics in the LCS shirts were unique from year to year and the cut of the shirts was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to hear they're letting themselves down, their designs have been good for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'd assume the fabric would be same high performance stuff the players shirts are made of... That being said, that yellow shirt is fooking orrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Got to disagree with you there Haf, I think the fabric is great quality. Lightweight and comfortable, even when sweating all over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Brought the home shirt and it feels like o need to be very careful what I touch just incase it snags or rips. Sports wise it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Why don't they change it up and bring out the home one last every now and then? We know what colour it's gonna be. I always buy the home kit as they bring it out late when the summers nearly over for my son but then prefer the away kits.dont know why we need a third kit anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 From a sports perspective they are certainly "light".... just feel really cheap. Nearly every player will have the under shirt on come November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 If that Chang logo was in blue id have bought one. It's just so close to being a great kit. Looks good besides that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalkpie Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I might buy the yellow kit, I'll definitely get more "WTF is that guy wearing??" looks when walking down the frozen food aisles here in 'Murica. pretty much every American football jersey is way uglier than this thing will ever be.

Not a Michigan man, actually! I grew up in Erie, PA (just an hour and a half from Clevo), left for grad school in Buffalo, and now I'm back teaching at a university in Erie. The wife is in Buffalo for work though. So, I'm pretty much "translocal." I've always enjoyed Cleveland. Used to go to shows at the Grog Shop, Beachland Ballroom and the Agora. It's a solid city. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Grog, Beachland, Agora all solid venues for rock n roll. Truth be told i've never been to Erie before, but driven nearby many times on I-90. I've been to Buffalo a couple times, nice city, all the rust belt cities get crapped upon, but they are all nice in their own way. I used to go skiing all the time in southwest NY to Peak N Peak and Holiday Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go skiing all the time in southwest NY to Peak N Peak and Holiday Valley. Peek n Peak (or is it Peak n Peek?) is now owned by a jackass from Erie who owns a bunch of hotels and chain restaurants. I'm sure the skiing is still good. My friend had his wedding reception up there a few years ago. Such a nice (and expensive) place. Erie and Buffalo are both great for different reasons. Erie probably has more bars per capita than any city and there's no open container law. So, basically, you can just walk around drinking if you like. And, there's an awesome state park in town. It's a big peninsula with tons of beaches, trails, ponds, wildlife, etc to have fun with. I've got my little cottage by the lake, and I'm pretty content. Buffalo is full of excellent neighborhoods and has done a great job in recent years of making the city appeal to young people again. So, it's having a nice little renaissance. Even though it is full of issues, I love the rust belt. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Catholic thing is a bit weird, but it's got a good campus community. Mike and Romey, why all the policing of threads? Is a tangent going to ruin the forum? I know it isn't my call, since I'm not the one paying the bills, but I feel like more conversation leads to more sociability and a more lively forum, generally. Just my two cents (pence?).

Yep i know Gannon. I had an ex-girlfriend that went there, really enjoyed her time, said she loved the school. A decent amount of Clevelanders attend there just because of proximity and because it has a good reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
