I'm assuming no but I figured I'd ask because like many here I'm not going to pay that much for such a bland Nike Canada shirt. sportchek every now and again has them on the clearance racks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Watching the pre-game show and the long Christine SInclair love fest (well deserved) but the child who idolizers her just hammers home how little the CSA does to market their players or support their fans. The jersey the kid is wearing is unavailable, the posters and pictures on her wall are all home made or small hand outs from games. There's nothing I can buy today for my daughter to support her love of Canadian soccer. red card and Lofty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent exactly what I wrote above to them through their website contact and my money says they won't respond, again. If you have any other suggestions on how this can be fixed I would love to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't force them to print posters for you, sell youth jerseys or market their players in way you approve of. And posting the same thing here multiple times won't do anything either.

I'm sure you know how to block me if it's that annoying. You actually have to choose to read and respond to my posts. That's on you. On the other hand, maybe my complaining will get a few more people to complain and something might change. I remember quite well being told to stop complaining about the CSA's funding of the women's program in the '90s, being told that nobody cared. Obviously some people did care and things did change. Maybe my voice was really small but it was still there, and still heard. red card, Lofty and Nello 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on this thread is also asking the same thing - great ad but where can we buy a customized jersey.

Yeah, it's not like Canadian fans won't buy stuff if it's priced remotely fairly, and I am very happy to see the CSA get roasted for the lack of buying options. I note the CSA twitter feed has not responded to the questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto Ruffrider Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 This thread reminds me of that History of the Kits thread from years ago on the board. Any way we can access that? It would be great to directly compare all of the kits over the years made by Adidas, Score, Umbro, Nike, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 So, uh, just in case anyone is still looking there are some very nice "replica" jerseys available on DHGate at a reasonable price. But you didn't hear that from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nello Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I wrote to Canada soccer in February about where to buy jerseys that could be customized and other merchandise and they emailed me back saying keep a look out for stuff at the end of May. I wrote them back a couple of weeks ago saying that I thought they were missing an opportunity to sell merch with the world cup and the gold cup going on, and that the list of sportchek locations on their website felt like a pathetic bare minimum. Still waiting for a response. Is the CSA overwhelmed or just out of ideas? Maybe there will be something more for WCQ but I'm not holding my breath, or spending my money.
