At Champions of the World, we are proud to offer one of the largest ranges of New Zealand rugby products in the world. Our selection is curated to ensure that we provide high-quality, official merchandise that represents the passion and spirit of New Zealand rugby.
Where Do Our Products Come From? #
A majority of our products are supplied to us through trusted partners, ensuring that what you buy is authentic and of the highest quality. Here’s a breakdown of where our key products originate:
- New Zealand Teams in Black:
All products featuring New Zealand teams in black, including the All Blacks, are created and supplied by adidas. This includes jerseys, training gear, and accessories. - Super Rugby:
Our Super Rugby merchandise is supplied by Classic, a well-known and reputable brand in rugby apparel. - NPC (National Provincial Championship):
NPC products come from a range of suppliers, allowing us to offer a diverse selection of gear for fans of provincial rugby.
How We Stock Our Products #
We work on an indent model, meaning we order our products in advance based on an order book. This allows us to prepare for new releases and ensure that our shelves are stocked with the latest gear. However, due to the nature of this model, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Limited Stock:
Popular items may sell out quickly, especially during the initial release period. We may have deliveries scheduled over 2-6 months, but once an item is sold out, it’s gone until the next range or variant becomes available. - Selection Criteria:
Although we strive to offer a wide range of products, there are times when we may choose not to stock a particular style, colour, or range. These decisions are based on our previous experience with certain items and our knowledge of what our customers want.
Why Might There Be Gaps in Our Range? #
You might notice that certain styles, teams, or gender-specific products aren’t available, or that we don’t stock exactly what the players are wearing. Here’s why:
- Strategic Selection:
Based on our knowledge and experience, we sometimes decide not to stock specific articles that may not resonate well with our customer base. While we do our best to make these decisions, we acknowledge that sometimes we might get it wrong. - Supplier and NZR Constraints:
In some cases, suppliers and New Zealand Rugby (NZR) may create bespoke ranges exclusively for their own selling channels or just for the players. Unfortunately, we cannot receive or sell these items through Champions of the World channels.
