Anything can happen. What I meant is that adhering to a template is first and foremost a financial (efficiency) decision and in order to set up a new design production line sufficient sales volume has to be expected.
Going “off template” usually means sub-contracting the production and/or plastering a logo on a locally produced shirt which sometimes carries tradeoffs (not the same “technical fabric”, different quality of embroidery or sublimation instead of custom application of details) or using a lower tier or older template.
Adidas took the former approach (until last year of their contract I think), Puma took the latter.
I’ll use this opportunity to put in my annual complaint about that fucking massive, incongruous red Kennards logo on the back which totally does the opposite of tying the room together. I get supporting your team and everything, but I’ve got to wear it, so nah.
A navy would do.
