Tahs apologise to members over cap clanger




NSW Waratahs have been forced to apologise to their fans after a team cap was sent to thousands of members bearing a tag emblazoned with "Team NRL" and "Official Licensed Product".
The Waratahs have sent out a letter of apology to all their members and the licensee for the Chinese cap manufacturers have also sent a letter of apology to the Waratahs as well as instructions on how to remove the tag.

It's only the members' caps which have the NRL Team logo stitched under the washing guidelines, with all other Waratahs merchandise sporting the Super Rugby logo.


The stuff-up was the talk of social media last night with the Twitterverse having a good old laugh at the Waratahs' expense.
It's hardly the start to the season the Waratahs were seeking after a horror 2012.
The Waratahs finished well out of contention for last year's Super Rugby finals after a terrible campaign which ended with coach Michael Foley departing for the Western Force.
NSW have signed Michael Cheika to turn around the team's fortunes on the park and added young breakaway Michael Hooper and AFL reject Israel Folau to their roster in the off-season in the hope of returning to the pointy end of the competition ladder this year.

A good indicator to the state of the NSWRU.

 

[Sydney Knight]

I dont care if he was there when this happened or not but Bill Pulver should be fired for this!

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Waratahs gear will sell like hot cakes now

 

[Hutty1986]

Poor old Waratards. Terrible on & off the field

 

[BranVan3000]

So Folau did come back to the NRL

 

[Desert Qlder]

What a bombshell for Pulver.

[Dragon2010]

It's a troll at Izzy. Damn Chinese!

 

[soc123_au]

Pretty poor journalism if you ask me. "The cap was sent the thousands of members" Thousands? Pffft....

 

[Parra]

" instructions on how to remove the tag". FFS.

 

[KiamaSaint]

"Code in Crisis"

 

[Perth Red]

Just what Sydney needs, another NRL team!

Hardly the first merchandising booboo. Kaspersky Sea Eagles had a jersey saying they were Manly Warringan or something like that

 

[Matchball]

Those funny chinese. They dont know shit from clay when it comes to sport.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

As if Union needed more embarrassments to deal with. Classic stuff.

What a surprise Yawnion can't get any PR without using the NRL in some way, shape or form.

:lol: I remember that! Chinese obviously dont give a sh*t about Union or Manly - but obviously take great pride and honour in never defiling Parra merchandise!

Speaking of which, I remember Parramatta issuing their framed and signed 50th anniversary Eels Greats jersey. Saw one at the local sports memorabilia shop in Port Mac which listed "Bill O'Reilly"!
