And I’ll have a smile on my face everyday I hand wash my mug at work.

After drinking your lukewarm tea/coffee.

I would honestly hate to do the merch as you are on a hiding to nothing no matter what you do. Just look at this thread already, times that by 1,000 for FB.

I’d buy and wear what ever they decide as we are back to back Champs.

Can't agree there - I haven't seen any fb posts about it. Nor have I seen much commentary on any other merch. From my understanding it's generally been well received. I've always just wished we had a bigger range.....even small things like keyrings, stubby coolers etc (I did buy last years champions one)

But if the club comes up with a poor product or doesn't roll it out well then of course we should be free to voice that feedback. Plan black clothes with either a tiny club logo or nothing at all....honestly, looks like the sort of merch you'd see the OSM wearing.

Not having pictures is strange- I presume they have a design already to go. I presume there will be a jersey reflecting the championship. Might just have to wait for that one.

Be aware that there are fb ripoffs/scams going around too.

Last year's Champions merchandise was fantastic. This year's, however.......

Stubby holders and mugs have got images now, for those curious.

They've also added at least one new item - "2024 Champions - Retail Jersey". Not entirely sure what that will mean yet, there's no description or images.
There's also a Cap, I don't recall if that was there earlier today.

Edit: added links

It’s what the players were wearing after the game and in pressers. I don’t see a big difference between last years hoodie and this one other than being black. Writing on the front and players pictures on the back. Too many fashionista’s I feel.

Just hit me - I’ve never been in Australia when we’ve won the toilet seat. The only GF I attended definitely wasn’t in Brisbane, all the wins I’ve watched from overseas. I get the hint fmd

I'm an interstate supporter and tried to get to at least one Gosford game each season for the last 10 years, sat with Big Al and his lovely wife and didn't admit to them that I've never been there for a win. I've seen a couple of draws and many losses.

Jinx broken!

There were people standing on there seats in front of him he was not the only one standing on his seat and there was no need for the idiot behind him to throw a full can at his back

Agree 100%

Don't get me started on beer throwing in the bay. Does my head in!

They've added a Champions Cap. 😀 No picture yet.

Oof $39.95

Albert Einstein: The definition of insanity is "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results maybe Poppovich should take that into consideration.

Do we refer to Melbourne Victory now as Melboune History, Failures or Defeat?

Melbourne Bottlers, thrower of bottles and thrower of championships.

Conceding the equaliser 1 minute after Fallanroli gets subbed truly was spectacular.

Having watched the replay I feel their double sub on the 89th minute was the reason we scored, two new players disrupted their structure and the gap opened up. Was Poopa’s time wasting tactic that bit him on the but big time.

He was really banking on holding out with a defensive structure when he took off all of his attacking a creative talent. Arzani and Machach off in the 75th, then Fornaroli and Valadon in the 91st.

I saw a stat before the game that Victory had conceded the most late goals this season, and I suspect a great deal of that comes from sitting back and inviting pressure to try to seal a result. The opposition aren't stretched or pressured, they just have to find a way through.

Exactly what happened when we played them in unite round

Yeah, Mariners and merchandise is not synonymous. I missed a champions 23 shirt by a day as I had no internet and nobody from the club bothered e-mailing me back. Was looking forward to something similar this year. Nada. I bet even the cap is bloody fadable black. Lucky they have had no time to prepare for this potential treble. For those waiting on a shirt, we are still waiting on the Air Asia kit that we have not been able to buy the entire season. Then you have to buy a XXXXXXL if you are normally a large, so who is spending $120 bucks on that hopefully working. Give us some bloody half decent merch FFS! Maybe even in club colours. Rant over.
PS love this team! Treble winners 🏆 🏆 🏆 amazing! Three gold stars

To the people leaving from 80 mins on.

Never leave early. Ever
