40th Anniversary Jerseys
-40th anniversary jerseys are $125.
-The logo will be over the heart on the top left quarter of the jersey
-The supplier is SteamRoller Rugby Supply, and a full jersey render will be in by middle next week.
-The first 25 people to buy a jersey earn a jersey sponsorship.
-For example, if you buy #12. The #12 in the team kit will feature: "This jersey was sponsored by "your name" on the sleeve. You can buy any number for yourself, but if the number you want to sponsor is already taken, we can work with you to find another jersey number to sponsor. So order quickly if you want to be a part of Western Suburbs History.
-There are 2 jersey fits, the slim fit and the supporter fit. The slim fit will be a tight game fit like the jerseys we play in, while the supporter fit is more for a loose and comfortable fit
-The team decided that the design they wanted to go forward with was quarters (Harlequin Squares). We thought of a way to take those squares and combine another design, so we added "Suburbs Stripes" to the top right quarter and right sleeve. The team also decided to like that design over the standard quarters.
-The colors will be traditional Suburbs black and white. The traditional Western Suburbs crest will be surrounded by 40 gold stars to highlight its 40th anniversary as a club
-The 40th anniversary event is scheduled for October 8, 2016. In order to have the kit fully manufactured, we need all orders and money in by August 30, 2016

Western Suburbs and Mail Chimp
Western Suburbs has begun using MailChimp to send out our emails, but one of the snags with that may be that you aren't receiving our emails. Since our email address, WesternSuburbsRFC@gmail.com, is free, some email providers automatically mark it as spam. While we are working to get our own @rugbyfootball.com email address to correct this, keep an eye out for your WSRFC Updates in the Spam or Promotions folder.
Why did we switch? Well, we're hoping to get you better looking emails that take us less time to compose. Also, MailChimp allows us to copy messages to our Facebook and Twitter if we were those kinds of writers. Mostly, we're just looking to make it easier for people to follow (or unfollow) Western Suburbs as need be.
