Black Jerseys

[StevenBletsoe]

Just out of interest, are we unbeaten in black this year? Not that I'm superstitious or anything

 

[DevilDom]

Yes, I believe we are.

Weren't we wearing black jerseys when we won the Challenge Cup in 2006/7??

 

[Have Hope#35]

Need to sort them for the Final... Bet Sheffield will be wearing this though: http://www.store.sheffieldsteelers.co.uk/index.php/featured-category/adult-replica-shirt-9.html

Even their jerseys aren't as good as ours. It's on like Donkey Kong.

Let's invade Sheffield and bring that cup back to South Wales

05/06 yes. We were wearing black when we won the Burger King cup in 06/07

Can see us wearing white in the final. Won't Sheffield have first choice of kit as the home team?

They probably will yeah... Just depends if they go for their Orange Home Jersey? If they do it leaves us open to wear our Black!

Steelers played in their black Challenge Cup jerseys in the home semi final leg against Nottingham so unless there's a sneaky campaign to orange out the arena then I would assume its likely they will play in black in the final.

We've also lost finals in black jersey's (I think the playoff final v Nottingham was the last one).

Can anyone confirm whether the club are selling any replica black jerseys? I’m not one for bidding on game worn ones but I do like this year’s black ones and would be interested in paying for one if they were.

I don't think they are, just the game worn ones in black.

As much as I want one of this season's Black Jerseys part of me thinks that there'll probably be one for sale in the shop next season... The demand has been pretty phenomenal!

I understand the value of having a set of jersey’s only available for auction (typically black ones over the years) but I think there is always a market for game worn jerseys, even when replicas are available. I wonder whether 3rd jersey’s sell for a great deal more than Home and Away Jersey’s. Perhaps they do.

At £65+ a replica jersey, I think the club could make a fair amount of money on making 3rd replica jersey’s available for those who don’t necessary have a desire for game worn or indeed can’t afford to bid on game worn. The merchandise sales this year appear to have done better than ever. Having said that, the club will have no doubt weighed up this option and come to the conclusion that there is a bigger profit margin to be made doing it the way they have.

Nottingham sell all their (4?) jerseys every year, but then with the size of their fanbase it probably negates any benefit seen in having a third, gameworn only colour for auction.

Steelers have confirmed on Twitter we're wearing black as the home team

I knew the Chris Culligan jersey last auction was a real bargain!

Tonight's jersey has been seen on the NHL network and on all of the North American hockey feeds, that must have added value to it

 

[Lee92]

Thought Jones's would have gone for more than £230. Delighted I picked up Buglass for £210. Wanted Martin's. Not a chance. :roll:
Just wanted a black jersey to be fair.

Supply and demand and the prices were dictated by the audience. Everybody wanted then black ones and tonight proved it. Few of us got caught with our pants down but it's great so much money is going back into the club.
