Lifestyle Sports useless!

Post by El Diablo »

Virtually no kit in any Lifestyle shops. Even online only XS and 3 XL sizes! No baseball caps anywhere.......who wants scarfs in May! F**king useless! They should have their shops stuffed with merchandise for the biggest week of the year!

An alternative view - Lifestyle have managed their stocks perfectly so that they have very little stock of merchadise that will be out of date on Sunday morning.

Or maybe they just don't want your money all that much.

Much like Heineken Cup Final tickets it's also best to purchase Leinster gear before Christmas.

Lifestyle and Adidas both terrible.
Leinster need to sort out merchandising and distribution; leaving a lot of cash on the table

Lifestyle are utter testicles, however this year especially there is no way they were, back in february, going to order, or adidas make, a load of stock for a final we might not be in and will depreciate to tuppence if, as is widely rumoured, Leinster have changed provider

I went into a Lifestyle sports today and not a sniff of Leinster gear in stock or on display. You'd hardly think the premier rugby event was happening on their doorstep.

The rumour I've heard is Castore, they've been really aggressively pursuing big brands across a number of sports over the last few years

I’ve ordered two bits of Leinster kit from them in the last three seasons. First time they sent the wrong size. The second time they send the wrong product.

Hmm see they do Sarries, Quinn’s and USA rugby and some league, looks a bit meh range wise. Shame but hey ho so long as it’s a decent payday to fund facilities.

I was home over Christmas and Lifestyle had nothing. I don't want to buy jerseys, I think jerseys are for kids and people in their 20s and 30s (ie, the career span of a player). Some of the off field Adidas Leinster gear is really nice but I couldn't get anything. That's the second time I've been home pver Christmas with Lifestyle having exclusive rigths and nothing being for sale, so I'm not sure how much the change in provider matters.

Elverys, meanwhile, had loads of IRFU stuff.

I agree absolutely hopelesss. Why they have exclusive rights is beyond me. Every time I go to one of their stores, I am so frustrated and disappointed. Leinster Rugby have made a massive mistake there.
