[QUOTE="Princess Obolensky, post: 150328"] ^^ I know where you're coming from Scuuba... it really upsets me when companies seem to look to exploit a team for their own profits. I was amazed in France to see how much stuff Puma had manufactured with the Samoan Rugby Union crest on it... in purples, oranges, pinks, whites, stripes... it seem to me to smack of "well the Samoa team has a profile, let's churn out some random pieces of clothing with their crest on it to make some cash".

I don't know, it just sticks in my craw. But on topic, I don't know that the silver jerseys will make a difference. Considering France also no longer looks like the classical French team anyway!
