New promotion shirt

[Roygbiv]

What a bloody beautiful shirt. Unfortunately it's £60 and I have a serious drug habit to see to.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Exploitative, no?

A money making lark?

There’s always a bottle of (promotion) Hendo’s as an alternative

 

[Champagneblade]

What nonsense.

Front page tells you in stock. Payment page tells you insufficient stock for one shirt.

Rinse - repeat

Can't even volunteer to get fleeced without them making a balls of it!

This is an investment opportunity. Fewer drugs now, but more drugs later on when you flip it on eBay.

What's exploitative? No one's demanding you buy it.

I just tried to get myself a medium, appears either they've gone already or the websites fucked

Perhaps not for me, but there will many others who feel they need to have it, or who's children are desperate to buy one.

Money making lark, as in, cashing on promotion and charging a higher price for a shirt that will never be match worn and that costs more than a regular home shirt.

For what it's worth, I like the design, and I'm no fan of Errea. There's just no precedence for this in footy, is there? Milking pennies out of fans. There's plenty of it in my other love, the NHL. Limited edition jerseys left, right and centre.

"dad, can I have one of these promotion shirts?"

"No, sold out son"

Aye, cos the 620 before them were exploited first

 

[Sithblade]

Blades Facebook page says there's only 620 shirts been made.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Quite like that. Gold accents are a nice touch. Not sure I'm a big fan of the pattern but I'd have to see it in person.

Does it have 'Ultimate Runners-Up' on the back of it?

 

[Jimmy23]

Nice, but seems like a another money making scam from the club

What's a scam about it?

 

[Russ]

They must know there’s 620 mugs then.

 

[Rodders]

Just been on and bought one - when you get to the payment screen it then chekcs the loyalty point database for “22/23 games attended”

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

The fact that these shirts appear to have sold out already indicates the club could have sold them for much more than they did.

I'm with Kozzy on this one. It's a complete cash grab by the club and £60 is an absolute joke to say it won't even be worn for a single match! But the club know they'll be enough people willing to buy it and we need the money I guess. We finished 2nd though, so the gold does seem a bit much no?

 

[S64 Blade]

I wonder how many out of 620 were actually on sale though?

It's like Rotherham away, all over again...

 

[S5Blade]

People claiming its a cash grab... 620 shirts, 60 quid each, so 37,200 quid.... yeah, thats really gonna make a massive upturn in our finances. Thats assuming no one bought kids sizes which are 50 quid, or to factor in the other costs that go with it.... photoshoots, marketing etc etc.... honestly people love a moan.....

I heard Kell Brook, Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker got one.

HOW MANY LOYALTY POINTS HAVE THEY GOT

Once again, no one is demanding you buy it.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

590 at most if the squad is wearing them on the bus.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Bet that cunt Toddla T is wearing one tonight.

Indeed, the profit of this in terms of top line numbers is hardly going to be massive.

 

[S64 Blade]

Do we know why it's 620? Am I being thick about the significance of this number? Or is it purely, that's how many they could make.

It's how many Doris got up to before t'Singer packed up

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

So Errea can have the design made, shirts printed and shipped out in 3 or 4 weeks but couldn't deliver any shirts until a week before the season started.

Absolute shite firm.

Although that shirt is nice.

Not got one. Bit gutted. Over it now.

Amount in pounds that they will be listed on eBay for.

Yeah…I mean the maximum £37k in retail sales (£30k profit) will be all the difference for us eh…maybe get us through the summer without needing a loan to pay the staff wages.

If anything, they’ve underestimated demand.

Not a scam…you get what you’re paying for…

Of course this could be a prototype for next season's shirt?

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Got a confirmation email through for mine finally thank god, good excuse to use up my final Club Cash.

Exploitative yes, but as they've only released 620 and they've sold out already there's clearly a market for it.
