Kukri Playing Kit

[UKLaxfan]

Hillcroft are sporting Underarmour this year imported from LacrosseUnlimited in the states. We paid to get detail stiched on rather than printed so should last longer. Worked out at around £60 for a jersey and £30 for shorts including all delivery and customs charges. Were really chuffed with it!

The Under Armour kit looks sick, good work there, if it was my choice I would definitely use them, if not Nike, although not saying anything against radsheep, seen their viking lax stuff up close and it seems nice.

How come nobody is recommending UKLacrosse?

They don't pay to advertise and support the forum and everyone knows RadSheep are probably the best lacrosse kit supplier in the UK

My Pompey kit is Rad Sheep and it's certainly good stuff. Really want some Fit2Win dryflex from Northern Soul but competing with tight student budgets...

Part of redeveloping the club to bring more players involved pimping the kit!

Could always use our other materials matey

Seems foolish to pay £50 for dazzle when you can pay £70 for dryflex...

Some very fair comments on Kukri, Unfortunately for them poor service and quality has lost them an order.

The problem with the likes of RadSheep, UA and Nike is that it takes longer and it's not as easy to see how the product will look and the price it will cost etc. Not much to account for when you get a long lasting kit in the end but when your trying to get about £100+ from a student - Hard work.

I'll e-mail RadSheep and scrap Kukri for now. I would love a Nike/UA kit though.

Rad Sheep has a shorter production time than Kukri in my experience (even if they say it's shorter the only time I've used them it took an age, a story I've heard quite a lot with them). Rad Sheep used to turn the kit around in 4 weeks from accepting a design, not used them for a long time now but what ever time frame they give I'd trust.

The mock ups they do to design the kit are also very good and are as good as you can get to seeing what the design will look like without seeing the real thing.

Nike & UA kits do look really good but I'm all for a UK supplier and maybe with more business they'll develop what they have to offer in terms of material & technology.

The cost of a full strip from Rad sheep a month ago was ~£53-54 per strip, with printed names. It's a bit cheaper without. the mock ups are definitely as close as you are going to get without directly seeing the design in person.

We use Kukri kit for the uni team, and a few of us also have Radsheep pinnies from the league last year.
Personally I prefer the quality of radsheep as kukri kit feels a bit cheap and rushed but there are some merits to Kukri such as the cost... Looking into a new order atm and it looks like £40 for a full printed strip which isn't too bad. We also bought sublimated pinnies from Kukri for £15 a pop.
It depends really, the customer care from Kukri does let them down but they are cheap while Radsheep have good customer feedback but are a more expensive option.
Long run I'd go with Radsheep

We got our Glasgow City kit from Radsheep.

The turn around, in November was about 2 weeks from final design (got the order two days after paying them the balance). We bounced about 30 emails back and forth with their design department until we were totally happy with it. Tanya had the patience of a saint. The full

The quality is good - we had yellow shorts at uni a few years back for training and they were quite thin, but they seem to have addressed that. Our uniforms have gone down pretty well in Scotland. They certainly stand out. It worked out around £50 for shorts and shirts.

Would definitely recommend them. When we need to reorder kit in the future we'll be straight back there!

How come nobody is recommending UKLacrosse?

Canterbury ordered a new kit from Uklacrosse again this year,
2008's kit was uklacrosse - lovely design but ripped (cant remember the model of jerseys we had),
2009;s was Radsheep - Personally I wasn't happy with the kits, not a fan of the print or the shorts seemed too "fitted"..
2010 - back with Uklacrosse and a better colour scheme to match the university - Lovely jerseys and shorts, comfy and high quality stitching, no ones had any issues as of this season with our team. Bought Varsity vests from Radsheep which look more aesthetically pleasing with the shorts but overall would recommend UKlacrosse to anyone getting kit, well worth getting a quote!

Is the phrase you get what you pay for appropriate to some extent?

costs for turn around times and quality.

personally I think Radsheep win on turn around time and a very competetive price, Uklacrosse strips can be more pricey but are a higher quality imo.

Im suprised Mr. Perrin hasn't thrown in a Fit to Win sportswear. He came back to us with some good prices and turn around times.
