[2013-2014] Avec quel maillot ?

[Le Cardon Grenat]

Concernant le nouveau logo à tête d'aigle choisi pour trôner sur les maillots... Le hasard veut que cet été, entre 2 baignades, je me sois justement amusé à imaginer un nouveau logo. Un truc bien g'nevois, avec une grande gueule.
Et voila pour le fun ce que ça donne :



Il en demeure pas moins que je trouve le nouveau logo très réussit. Ça amène du neuf !
Quant au mien... Ben j'en ferai un T-shirt à mon neveu

[Captain Iglo]

Il est vrai que du coup, c'est de nouveau le LHC qui a la plus grande gueule de LNA.

Les nouveaux maillots sont exposés dans les shops..

A noter que Tobi a aussi un nouveau casque, sur lequel figure le nouveau "2ème logo" comme il faut l'appeler

Yet again the club miss out on a perfect opportunity to create a stunning set of uniforms! When will they learn, until they get rid of PG SA they are doomed to being worse than an NLB club in terms of merchandising.

The home uniform is certainly a step up from last seasons and while still not perfect, it's a good starting point. The placement of the eagle logo on the sleeves is a nice touch and the lack of sponsors on the front creates a very impressive appearance. However, the idea to NOT continue the centre band around to the back (like the Montreal Canadians or even the PreSeason jersey) is just a STUPID ploy to get people to buy the jerseys with names on the back. Not nice when the jerseys already cost 150+

As for the away... how lazy were the designers at PG SA?! Well we all know how lazy they are from the fan items they keep releasing. The design is the EXACT same as last seasons, apart from swapping it out the main logo and replacing it with the Eagle logo. How hard would it be to go white as well? A colour that has been in the history of GSHC since the merger of UGS and SHC!

Let's hope they don't mess up the special jersey for the "winter classic" at Stade de Geneve this coming January. Try to involve the fans this time eh?

Update: Ok rant over, and I do understand that everyone has different tastes... but this something that the club needs to address! Try getting http://www.icethetics.info involved in a competition to design the winter classic jersey!

Why don't they sell jerseys with the logo sewn on rather than printed? I mean it looks horrible when it's printed.. Anyway those europeans jerseys with adds all over it are so ugly!!

I prefer our ugly jersey than having 10 minutes of advertising during each period...

Mouais, je pensais que l'aigle aurait été posé au milieu du rond à la place du logo GS en 3D et que le maillot extérieur aurait été blanc.
Dommage, par contre, pas sur que ce soit PG SA qui font le design du maillot. Mais je rejoins l'avis de swissgripen que cette société pourris le merchandising du GSHC, et rajouterais même que des équipes de 1ère ligue ont de meilleurs produits que la daube proposée par PG.

The jersey deisgn is Chris McSorley's idea only. PG SA is responsible for the merchandising.

As for the printed jersey, it's only recently that player jersey received sewn part (i.e. logos, numbers and namebands). Before that, they were all printed. That's because it cost, for the team, 120+ per player, and lot more for part-sewn or full sewn. Just to remind you, a real NHL jersey is sold 299$ without name and number (unless there is an offer)

Yeah sure, but I'd rather buy my jersey $300 instead of buying a cheaper one that looks horrible. But oh well, I hope that you'll have the good idea to release a throwback jersey for the Winter Classic WITHOUT advertisements.. There's also something else I wouldn't mind seeing in the shop, player tshirts, like in the NHL. You could do some of the well-known players.. I'm sure you'd sell quite a few of those because it's a lot more cheaper than jerseys.

Also, we could do like NHL and have a 120 billion annual budget...

Moi je les trouve cools ces nouveaux maillots de bleu de bleu...

Well, as much as I love Chris, and think he's a fantastic coach for GSHC... maybe leave the designing of the jerseys to people who actually know what they are doing. After the Eagle Jersey of 2007/2008, The simple jersey of 2009/2010 & the first jersey after the rebrand in 2011/2012.... we've not had much luck with the our jerseys. Let the fans decide on a jersey. Plus, for christ sakes, do a proper launch for the jerseys. The sponsors will appreciate it, the fans will get excited and it will look good for the media. I mean, last season we found out what the jerseys looked like on the night of the opening game. Would you ever see an NHL team do that... no chance. They spend weeks building up to a launch event, or do a teaser campaign!

As for the merchandising, the products that we keep getting are awful. There are STILL t-shirts left from when PG SA took over the merchandising and I can't remember once that happened with the company we were with before. The T-shirts are basic screen prints and could be made at home by anyone who has a printer and an iron... and they are charging 29.00CHF for that?! I still have my Zip-Up GSHC top (the first one that came out) and it looks as good as the day I got it... my PG SA one, well the zipper broke, the colours faded and less said about the sticking the better.

Oh also, you say an NHL jersey is 299$, well in the UK the Nottingham Panthers use a company called CH Sports who offer fully stitched jerseys to the fans, for the same price as a fully sublimated one. How do you work that one out then? I don't think the fans mind about the stitched jerseys, just give us better quality merchandising and jerseys we can be proud about.

I know I must sound like a nag and certainly a pain in the ass... but there is SO much that could be done for the club in terms of merchandising!

^ This man speaks the truth

[LEMIEUX66]

Je dois reconnaître que je ne suis pas fan du maillot avec cette bande blanche qui n'apporte à mon avis rien du tout et si le retour de l'aigle faisait partie de mes souhaits, son design fait quand même un peu "cheap".

Question prix, pour avoir une la bonne idée d'acheter un maillot NHL, avec le choix du numéro et nom du joueur brodé, de mémoire, il m'est revenu à $420 mais la grande différence est que ce maillot, même si chaque année les clubs changent quelques détails, permet de s'identifier plusieurs années à son équipe... ce qui est loin d'être le cas du GS.

Sur le fait que PG SA a fait une gamme de produits disons pas terrible, je ne connais pas les données du contrat mais le GS doit avoir sa part de responsabilité car logiquement et de manière très basique, il doit y avoir un fourchette de prix d'achat ainsi qu'une ligne générale des produits à fournir et ensuite, il doit y avoir une validation des produits... et il faut admettre que le résultat est pour le moins pas brillant à moins que ce ne soit le budget qui ne permettait pas de faire mieux !

Il est vrai également que le tournus au niveau de l'administration du club ne doit pas faciliter les choses et que peut-être, certains contrats "bloquent" un développement du merchandising (ce qui semble être le cas pour PG SA) et j'ose espérer que M. Stucki et sa connaissance des produits de qualités, à défaut de nous sortir une montre Tudor au logo du GS en série limitée à CHF 5'000, sera également à même de trouver des produits "basiques" pour le fan de base, que ce soit au niveau d'une écharpe, d'un t-shirt ou autre...

Alors pour cette saison, je vais encore laisser le bénéfice du doute aux personnes en charge du merchandising et me dire que c'est tout ça d'économiser dans mon budget (et de pas gagner pour le club).

Au passage, pour suivre quelque peu l'autre club grenat qui doit nous céder fort gentiment son enceinte en janvier, il me semble qu'il y a un fournisseur d'équipement qui pourrait être une alternative et dans la mesure où il y a quand même passablement de supporters qui suivent les deux clubs, une ligne "grenat" ou "Genève" pourrait être une option à creuser ?

Maintenant, si on devait être champion suisse avec ce maillot, je veux bien mettre quelques piécettes pour un souvenir
