Another warning from Paul Barber

[The Large One]

Could they not take orders for larger sizes although Nike only make up to 2xl. Whether or not they would be able to commission another supplier for such shirts is possibly a problem.

Are you not comfortable enough within yourself not to wear something the club has bought out?

Reckon most people buying snide shirts genuinely can't justify spending the cost of a shirt from the club shop but love the club. So it isn't a lost sale for the club shop as it is folks that can't afford to buy from there in the first place. If it's possible to buy a snide shirt for £12 with delivery from China then the club's mark up most be ridiculous.

Your guess on the CLUB taking the mark up isnt right. A Guardian article covered this subject last year - Nike/Adidas grab 85% to 90% of the value of a shirt sale, even at clubs such as Manure. Which also dispels the urban myth that signing a mega star is paid for by a huge surge in shirt sales. So the vast mark up on the Asian sweat shop production cost is grabbed by Nike and Adidas.

I would be very suprised if the club were paying less than £12 a shirt from Nike. If they are, Barber earns every penny of his wages.
Vat would be £8.33 on an adult shirt also.

That's not how it works. Nike sponsor the albion, pay the albion a huge fee, and take the vast majority of money from shirt sales. So it's nike's markup.

No as they are not large enough. The actual supply of shirts is not a problem as many companies make them the problem is commissioning the company to embroider the badge on and granting them a licence.

If you need a larger shirt, then I'd consider a diet. Seriously.

I am on a diet to reduce my weight to 18 stone which I havent been for about 30 years.

It is not only the weight as I have a 56in chest.

I have to buy a 4xl shirt to feel comfortable and it is not loose just fits perfectly. Premier Man 3xl (56/58 in chest) are too small.

True.

 

[McTavish]

The first thing that they should do is make the clothing available in sizes people want not cowtail to Nike.

Cowtail?

 

[timbha]

Cowtail?

urban dictionary definition ......might not impress Nike

Where do JD Sports fit into this. Apart from being one of the added badges.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Forgive me if this has already been asked somewhere, does the Churchill Square branch of JD now stock our shirts?

I had you down as a doddery old fool, now it appears you resemble Giant Haystacks (Google it kids).

Love BG, a twist and turn every 10,000 or so posts!!!

Just been online to buy the girlfriend a ladies home shirt. None in stock and no message to say when any are likely to be in stock. The club should sort its ability to meet the demand for shirts before criticising fans for looking elsewhere.

Seariously, don't buy a ladies shirt without seeing it, I assure you, they are terrible, they look far faker than the fakes on eBay, nothing about them looks correct. The neckline is awfull, and sponsors logo looks like a rejected iron transfer from a kids shirt
