New Kit Cock Up

[The Wookiee]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before.

I have just heard that there has been a major cock up with the new home kit.

Apparently the club has ordetred the wrong colour by mistake.

There is currently 30000 on order from the manufacturers who wont change the order because they say that is what we ordered, so we are stuck with it.

The blue stripes are the wrong blue, it is more of a turquoise, very similar to the Argentina kit.


Anybody else heard about this?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

no

however im sure the manufacturers would change it

 

[Scotty Mac]

hahahaha

I heard the cock up was to do with the logo of skint being wrong

 

[Uncle Buck]

Bearing in mind we are not the greatest payers, if the cock up is true, then I do not blame Errea for being difficult.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Why would they have ordered 30000? Seems a bit high to me.

Can we have that many loan players

 

[Northstander]

I have heard the players numbers have been printed on the front, so fans think we are always going forward!!

Perhaps were making a move for Maradona Jnr then !

I would also say it was complete nonsense....however after the past few years of replica strip nightmares it would not surprise me in the slightest!

Think of all cash generation the club is currently missing out on. Say if we sold 3000 shirts at £35 each over the summer break that would generate over £100K. Of course only a small % would be profit, but just keeping the cash flow moving along before the first game of the season is important. Things like this could be making it difficult to free up money to sign new players.

The real missed opportunity was not bringing out the new kit for the play off final. The number of floating fans that would have purchased one for that day alone.

At £35 quid each someone must be making money. Take out the vat - a fiver for the govt, leaves £30. How much a unit do they cost to make, I'd be surprised if it was anything like half that.

I heard they were thinking doing away with shirts and just playing in skins, like down the park as kids - shirts v skins - that way they would save money on the kit as well as the laundry costs.

The replica kit would be cheap to produce and therefore have a good profit margin. All that was needed is temporary tattoos of the seagull and Skint.

Also we wouldn't need the expense of two away kits.

oh good god, can you imagine messrs butters and piercy wobbling round portman road or wherever, self-consciously covering up their man-breasts, getting massive red patches on their backs when the ball hits them...

would be funny.

I heard that due to a spelling error we had ordered 30,000 Blue & White striped Kilts

Inept or inert?

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I heard from a friend in my English class who went on work expreience with the Albion and met Paul Rogers and said thad that he said that on the new Brighton shirt, the stripes were going to be lighter like the Argentina shirt anyway.

(im not sure if that made much sense, my gramma bad, me had to stay @ skool till 5 to exam do, den I walked home, knackered me am, me now sleep! )

even more like tesco,s bags then

Shirt like that would probably cost the retailer something like £20 per unit, maybe slightly less if they bought tens or hundreds of thousands, like say Manchester United or Arsenal do. Not much profit in this sort of thing.

VAT on the kids' shirts (in fact all kids' clothing) is zero-rated.
