The Rumours Thread

You would think that the players would notice it as well, jersey would be presented to them a couple of days before the game, you would read the inscription, you would assume..
Back to School for the whole club..

The scary bit would be if the player has read it and thought the spelling is correct.

Our education system has failed...

I LOVE this Tim Webster dude. I did talk to him on a certain platform, and he promised me that the area of recruitment was something he was prioritising from his level and that changes were going to be made. I told him that this was the area along with retention that most fans were concerned about. I thought I was talking to a Bot or assistant, but maybe not.

So far, I am very impressed.

I wish I lived near Wollongong, as I would love to work for him.

So he has given up radio ?

Indie Bostock
Pia Tapsell
Ahlivia Ingram

Perhaps the new CEO could talk to Indie Bostock to persuade her brother to come home to the Dragons.

I do a fair bit of print work (paper not clothing), and its always a challenge when they are trying to get this work done absolute last minute.. and I doubt there is any chance for a review as such... I imagine we are sending the text spelt correctly, but whoever is setting it up to print on the jerseys is making the error..

Regardless its not the first time, might be time for a change of process, or a change of print company..

100% that’s my point as well. Player gets notified Tuesday they are in the team. Probs gets sent to printer Wednesday to be ready Friday for preso. It’s 100% printers issue and there is no margin for error because once it’s done it’s done. The player either plays with misspelt jumper or they have a standard one.

When I play a milestone game for the Dragons I’m definitely not getting the details tattooed

 

[Gardenia]

Tim Watsford I think

[Gardenia]

Yes I’d be changing suppliers immediately.

My wife had a uniform/apparel business including own embroidery machines, so I know a bit about the industry. I would create the simple text embroidery files for like peoples name etc, her but the more complex designs were outsourced. Each name had to be a seperate file loaded into the embroidery machines computer.

So if she had to run 7 shirts on an 8 head embroidery machine then she would load the program into the machines computer, say "St George Dargons Gutho" then hoop 7 shirts on the machine to be embroidered.

Then if she had to do 6 shirts say "St George Dargons Flanno", the the embroidery design would be edited to remove Gutho and add Flanno into a brand new embroidery file to be loaded into the machine to only embroider 6 shirts as St George Dargons Flanno. The spelling mistake is overlooked in this case and will continue on.

For a fair few years now the NRL jerseys are sublimated with all the designs, emblems, player numbers and sponsors no embroidery necessary.

On special occasions, I'd say that Classic outsource the embroidery to a Chinese sweat shop (not being racist, I just know the industry) and if they get the embroidery spelling wrong then it stays wrong as each shirt has to be run individually. Classic as the shirt supplier should be spell checking all embroidery.

My wife learned pretty quickly to always run just 1 test run of a new design with one hooped on scrap material to check for stich quality and spelling. It's really not that hard if you know what you are doing.

With respect, the Pia Tapsell logo on the jerseys look like they've been screen printed
