The new Munster jersey for '09/'10 was released recently, and amid initially hostile reaction from fans, it would be prudent to examine the process that led to this Santa suit being created.Unfortunately, when Munster joined up with adidas, they appear to have lost a large part of their connection with their much lauded supporters. When such die-hard cohorts of the Red Army are willing to siphon off some of the kids' savings to see Munster in action, is it really fair or responsible to present them with exorbitantly priced monstrosities such as last season's alternative jersey/Ulster soccer kit?
This season is nearly worse, while other teams such as Leicester take their supporters' views on board, one cannot help but feel that adidas will happily churn out jersey after jersey, not giving a damn about their demographic...
What they don't realise however, is that this very same demographic scared potential sponsors off renaming Thomond Park, and potentially adidas could rue their mistakes, feeling the wrath of this passionate band of supporters...
