This may sound naive, but what's the big deal about sublimation printing?

It's cheap and you can make lots of practice gear and stuff for fans

Has there ever been a worse strip, in any sport, than what the North Queensland Fury turned up…

Hadyn, wherefore art thou? BoP beat Wellington and Usain Bolt is some sort of Demigod, but still no post?!

Sorry, was on holiday. Have done the Bolt post and rugby post to come soon. Don't worry I've got plenty of gloating to get in before BOP finally lose one

It is cheaper, people seem to feel more connected to it, in part due to their provincial identity they carry around or have…

Has there ever been a worse strip, in any sport, than what the North Queensland Fury turned up in over the weekend?

Norwich City have their work cut out for them in making a strip look good, but the 1992 was a doozy. mind you, there's a lot of competition.…

Because JD's market value prior to that was something like $700m so that's a massive purchase.
Also, they got the brand goodwill etc for $11m. To then pay $2b for the stores and operations seems amazing.

You’re the expert.

Yeah, but when you hang them on the washing line your flatmates are all "ooo, Amy's got legwarmers".

Ah see that's where you went wrong. Washing and ice hockey gear don't really go together.

Us ice hockey people care about socks.

Also why doesn't anyone care about socks?

Us ice hockey people care about socks. Can't play ice hockey without socks over your pads. Over the summer I'm going to go shopping for about 50 pairs of socks like this (like this on the players]].

The new Black Caps uniforms will be without the unusual "robo-boobs" across the front.

Oh, thank Christ, that's the best news of the week.

Let's hope they get rid of the sailor-suit test match shirt too.

Also why doesn't anyone care about socks?

Because they can't keep up?

Sorry. Friday. I know where the door is.
