Was browsing the merch catalogue that came with my membership stuff. Took a fancy to that "Saints" red hoodie in the leisurewear section...but $90.00?? and its 'lightweight"?
Is that a bit over the odds fashionistas or should I get into the real world and stop clothes shopping at Best and Less?
$100 for the heavyweight one...and it only comes in green
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

I was thinking the same thing with most of the products. definatley on the pricey side.. and i don't even shop at best and less!
Best to wait for end of season sales when they're more reasonable prices.

The lifestyle range is actually really well designed' I'm impressed! compared to previous years these are way nicer - i suppose the price is indicative of this change...
The stuff looks absolutely fantastic, but is unfortunately out of my price range:(
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!
This years (09) designs were better I thought,and a fraction cheaper for memory. Anyhow will probably go the tracksuit top again.
The tracksuit pants at $80 are a disgrace,but I'll probably still buy them..
I like it too. Not that I'll be buying one....but it's quite striking and I like the fact that the club logo is the big focus .
Also like the red hoody...might buy one of them for my 14 year old who will turn 15 during the early part of the season. Maybe there will be a special before then.
Seriously though...the price is in line with other similar brand name clothes. Mum bought him a fantastic black Rip Curl hoody this year - first time we'd bought one in men's sizes. It Looks great under his footy jumper cos it is black with red and white trim with ripcul written hundreds of times in small writing in the hood. Looks great under his saints jumper and keeps him warm. Was definately worth the $90 we paid for it. If the new saints ones are a reasonable quality then they will be worth it.
Plus...we get a discount based on our years of membership remember so my gold membership (10-19 years) should give me 15% off that price....making it $76.50. Could be more or less for others depending on your years of membership. Says on page 7 of the membership brochure that this applies to full price items purchased in the shop, on match day or on the phone or at other saints events.

That guernsey says "f--k off, I'm St.Kilda" which I can deal with during pre-season.
See you at the flodge, Cowboy!
I fear I may be at the Flodge as my wife's antifoxtel crusade stretches into the new decade but... for the love of fashion.
1. There's no sign of our heritage acid wash logo.
2. There's no sign of our heritage yellow. Anywhere.
3. there's no stylized angry saint man on the front.
this is why i buy LAST years stuff off ebay
'oh but no money to club'
thats right
i dont feel like paying 90 bucks for a 15 buck jumper
im stupid enough to pay 50 or 60 but not dumb enough to pay 90
this year ill go the media polo long sleeve (hopefully) and the usual cap and beanie.
thatll do me
havent even seen the catalogue yet, ill wait till the postie gets here

For those of us who don't live in Melbourne, what kind of Saints things does Best and Less have?
