I Need a New Kit Bag

My kit bag is seven years old and has served me faithfully & well. There are a lot of memories in that bag; I've taken it to Europe to play in the Amsterdam 7's and too many road trips to count, but it's on its last legs. My bag has no strap, almost all the zippers are busted, and to say it smells like ass is an insult to stinking asses everywhere. So I need a new kit bag and since the last time we did a team run of kit bags was seven years ago, I suspect that other guys may need one too.

I'm volunteering to take the lead on getting new kit bags, but I'm soliciting input from the team. Here's what I'm looking at right now:

Since we have so much fresh gear from Canterbury, I thought we might keep heading in that same direction by getting a bag like this, but obviously we would have to get this customized with our crest and colors.

We could also go traditional and get the regular canvas roll kit bag.

I also like this bag 'cause it has a place for your wet boots and comes with a "free" ball.

We probably need about a dozen guys to commit to make it worth my time to mess around with this, so holla at your boy to indicate your interest and leave comments/suggestions. Once we've reached something resembling a consensus I'll post a follow up message with a drop dead date to place your order.

With You,

KJ

Panek says Adidas is the best deal. It sounds like its engineered well, and I like a bag with some good engineering! Huzzah

In for 1 with a boot compartment.

Not to throw more options into the mix, but I really like the Under Armour bag that I have. It has a wet boot pocket and the ground cloth that pulls out of the bottom. I also like repping UA since they are a local company, but that is neither here nor there...

You gotta link to share to the UA bag?

I just like the idea of having an area to put wet clothes or nasty boots. Count me in as long as we get one of those.

Since I play three games a year, I want one that will stand up to dust and cat hair.

But, the canvas bag will fill a void in my life.

I like the canvas bag best.
