Noticed there is none available in the on-line superstore, surely massive marketing opportunity this week missed?

Sold out a couple of weeks ago when they reduced them. There were a couple of the orange keepers shirts in there yesterday, but majority of stuff is quickly produced, what looks like poor quality, T shirts aiming to cash in/rip fans off
 
For the decade that fashion forgot - the 70's shirt takes some beating a la TC below. Simple red and white stripes, long sleeves - great. Wouldn't work if you're a bit overweight and it only goes up to 2XL anyway!

I have a genuine one of these shirts (not a Toffs Replica) It is a fantastic shirt but cost me a small fortune! I,m going to frame it along with the programme from the day I was born.
UTB!
 
Can't decide whether to wear the yellow & brown shirt or the 70's one that next seasons is based on.
 
I decided last time that it was wearing a football shirt to Wembley that was unlucky... Sadly, it didn't work and I'm about out of superstitions.
 
Story of our club shop for years now. Missed pre season sales and now missed the part timers sale

Same old same old,

You'd think the people in charge of retail at the lane would understand the importance of pre season sales.

While Leeds, West Ham and now Aston Villa get delivery of their Macron tat weeks before United and rake in the cash from fans wanting the new shirts for their summer holidays, United start selling their shirts (short sleeve only) at the begin of the Autumn!

I notice our opponents for the weekend have a full range of replica home and away shirts on sale as well as a full range of benchwear such as polo shirts, jumpers, jackets, t-shirts etc. I would like to know how much extra revenue they will take in this week compared to United.

I keep hearing United are interested in making their own gear to bring price down and avoid the delivery problems they currently have with Macron. I think it's a good idea as long as the amateur who designed the new Wembley range is as far away from the designing of the own brand range of merch.

It is bizarre how, historically, United have never been very good at this sort of thing.

It's something I'd be interested in hearing what Lisa Crossland (who I believe is retail manager) and Dave McCarthy have to say about the clubs attitude towards making money from merchandise sales and why the club is so poor at this.

Also as I mentioned previously Villa will have macron gear starting from August, now making United 4th on Macron's list of valuable clients. So expect a limited number of home shirts to go on sale in October then again in December when macron have some spare time out of thier busy schedule looking after the other 3 more inportant clubs, to deliver a couple more boxes.

As you can tell its something that winds me up.
