Front Row
The main change for Front Row is Front Row Collection, a spin-off of the main brand which brings exciting new additions to the garment options for 2008. Front Row Collection was born out of the desire to create a selection of garments that retained the smart/casual feel of Front Row but with a separate personality and function. The garments in the range have an ‘emerized’ finish, which means they are super soft to touch and super comfortable to wear. There are four garments to choose from: FR43 and FR41, men’s and ladies’ long sleeve rugby shirts; FR42, a smart jersey unisex polo shirt, and FR40, a quarter zip sweat shirt.

The colour palette for the FR1 original longsleeved rugby shirt and the FR3 short-sleeved rugby shirt have also been extended. There are now 20 FR1 colours available, including chocolate, vibrant orange and airforce blue, and 8 FR3 colours, including dusky pink, fashionable slate grey, vivid red and eye-catching royal.

Tombo
Tombo’s big news for 2008 is its image change: the new look Tombo logo is fresh, eye-catching and combines a retail feel with clean lines and a contemporary design. This coincides with the introduction of two Tombo ‘sub-categories’ for 2008 – Tombo Teamwear and Tombo Football, and within these a whole multitude of new products, styles and colours. Tombo has decided to concentrate on two main areas of improvement for 2008: colour-coordination and performance wear.

There will be three new colour stories available for 2008: navy and white, black and white, and black, red and white. The performance range is made from ‘IQ´ performance fabric, which wicks moisture away from the skin to keep it cool during the most intense exercise. Highlights from the range include the TL64 and TL68 men’s and ladies’ performance wicking polo shirts and TL63 and TL66 wicking sports tees for men and women. All four garments are available in at least two of the new colour stories.

Other new items for 2008 are the TL70 Tombo Teamwear Long-Sleeved Body Kit and the TL71 Tombo Teamwear Short-Sleeved Body Kit, base layer tops for warm and cold weather. Both tops are skin tight which provides aerodynamic lines as well as preventing excessive muscle movement. Performance is thus optimised by keeping energy waste to a minimum. Manufactured using the highest level of craftsmanship, they both include self fabric neck binding to prevent discomfort and cover stitch seams to avoid chafing.

Tombo’s other new products include fleeces, jackets, polo shirts and football shorts for women. They’ve also separated existing tracksuits TL40, 40B and 43 tracksuits to make them available to buy as separate tops and bottoms.

On the garment side, new products are the OK31 Unisex Premium Certified Organic Drop Shoulder Hoodie and the OK30 Unisex Premium Certified Organic Drop Shoulder Sweat.
