In the past few years I have purchased two cardigan style jackets and an outdoors waterproof coat, sadly the quality did not match the price it was purchased at...... Zips buggering up and stitching always fraying!!!
Until merchandise like this improves I shall not be buying anymore from.this range.

How about a quarters polo shirt inc badge (no sponsor)? Possibly with 12 on the back as Phillistine has mentioned. Like the sound of this a lot. I'd buy one! Same here !

So that's three sales, and probably would already make it one of our highest selling pieces of merch! Get on it, Baz.

Rovers is in an enviable position in that there are several unique and potentially 'cool' aspects that could be exploited - the quarters, the pirate thing and the gas. Until now though it has never been done in a way that that appeals to me, everything I've seen or have been given has been very old fashioned and unimaginative and generally very tacky. I get the impression that most of the designs are heavily influenced by Barry himself or certainly someone of his generation - the type sets and graphics etc are always very dated.
I have issues with the club badge. I guess its ok if you're under the age of 6 but it doesn't appeal to me and I wouldn't wear any merchandise with it on. I'm not proposing we replace the badge as I know there are a lot of people that like it but I would love to see another alternative more contemporary badge which could be used on caps, hoodies, t-shirts, bags etc. Something along the lines of the Orlando Pirates maybe - the Americans are very good at this sort of thing and often clubs over there sell a large about of merchandise to tourists and other non-fans purely on the strength of their brand. Why not get some local artists involved and produce something a little more cutting edge - imagine a range clothing / posters etc with Banksy* type images playing on some iconic Rovers imagery in a slightly more though provoking and less in your face way than the standard club shop wares.
*before anyone says anything I know Banksy isn't an option as a) he wouldn't do it, b) is reputedly a sh*thead and c) would be too expensive but I'm using him as an example that most people know of the type of imagery i'm thinking of.

Hoodies is a great shout. Just plain zip up or zipless ones with the badge in white on would look great.

I like the sound of that too, and maybe an alternative in the Black Arab design as well? and as Henbury says, in sizes for the fuller figure as even with the 5XL replica shirt I still look like a Zeppelin in a condom

The Cheltenham Wanksy has now got Gas, amongst other things, sprayed all over it pmsl.

I'm not sure if it's been covered already but better selection of phone cases. The iPhone one you can get isn't a great design and it's the only one, no other designs or cases for different model phones. I don't expect to see a Nokia 3110 case or anything just enough of a selection that Samsung Galaxy or HTC Notes or whatever can also have luxurious Bristol Rovers cases on them.

I've wanted a pair of Rovers' shin pads for ages. Not really sure why.
