Of course Rebel Sport have the official shirt, but no other retail stores Kmart, Best n Less etc. stock any sort of supporter gear. We are less then a month away from the start, where is the excitement and exposure?

Who is to blame? Do the shops not want to stock any non or office merchandise, or have FFA not bothered to market any gear?

In 2010 and 2014 and large clothing store had a whole rack of Socceroos merchandise more then a month before the competition

11. Andrew Nabbout
12. Brad Jones (GK)
13. Aaron Mooy
14. James Troisi

They've had photos with these numbers. Wright's number 8 not taken, Maclaren not listed nor in a photo {he arrived later, right) the goalkeeper shirt looks mint!

All gold kit.

Ah shit wrong thread. Somewhat relevant with the photos of the kits.

I wanted to write here that Socceroo apparel is abysmal and has been poor for a long time. The shops barely seem to have anything but they're not only to blame. The FFA need to hire creative types to get some good gear going. One can dream. 

Recently I've ordered some kits of DHgate.com

Cheap Chinese or Thai produced. Shipping took 12 days to Germany. Initially I was sceptical but the away kit arrived with the nike logo and dry fit stamps. I got Rogic printing and it looks excellent. Best order with a seller with lots of reviews. 

The gold one is also available but it appears to be a worse material and colour. More a yellow than gold. I ordered one for $15 nonetheless to see as the photos of the jersey itself obviously had used a camera flash. These samples had the real Australia emblem with the coat of arms, the one the players actually wear. Fan kits have the football Australia with a ball instead of the coat of arms

Ever since my daughter was born 3 months ago (and probably before) we'd been looking for socceroos baby clothes. There's nothing. I can get victory stuff and any other club or national team on the planet except Australia.

Haha yea. Our much older 80s tracksuits had the same emblem at the shops. They then created a player and fan edition. 

I don't get why they refuse sell Socceroos training gear. The tops are great. Merchandise tends to connect supporters a bit more with their side. You wear it because you're proud to support them

Just had a look and it's pretty bad this cycle. No training gear from Nike is extremely ordinary, especially considering how shit the playing kits are. The Nike stuff should always include training kits, official polos etc and considering the popularity of the spew kit, the FFA should really go hard on vintage gear.

I'd love a spew top as well as a vintage tracksuit - for all their rhetoric about 'maximising revenue', they do a very shit job of it themselves.

I want them to release a polo. Made of regular cotton or something - not that stuff they make the jerseys out of. 
I want to wear them at work while the world cup is on. Just plain dark green with an emblem would be great...

Go to Mick Simmons store in Sydney CBD. They sell the spew jersey as well as the ‘74 retro top which is very fashionable and 1000% better than the new Socceroos top.

I'm no expert, but you'd think the FFA would turn a profit from a few short term pop up outlets to flog off merch in the lead up to and during the cup without anyone else taking a cut in the major cities (maybe Westfield could help there), but that's just me.

There’s a Socceroos banner with the Sunday paper tomorrow. Apparently 600 Caltex stores are selling Socceroos merch but I went to 3 today and all they had was a small ball for free when you spend 10 bucks on coke products. It’s absolutely rubbish. I’ve got plenty of old gear but was keen to buy my boys something to get them into the spirit. It’s ridiculous not every family can afford a $100 kids replica and yes I know you can get some shit online but not the same as going into a store and seeing a bunch of World Cup stuff on display. Even rebel has more origin shit than Socceroos stuff.
