What a stupid gamble, if you were going to do it you'd do it before the final, idiots.

Probably worth what they paid for them as novelty items / window cloths - they look a bit shit imo.

With entrepreñeurs like him there is no wonder the country is in its current state.

In the US, they often create two lots of merchandise for teams in the finals of big sporting events. The losing team merch then gets sent off around the world via charities

What Happens to the Losing Team's Pre-Printed Championship Shirts?

For each year's Super Bowl showdown, manufacturers and retailers will produce and stock two sets of T-shirts, hats, and other merchandise that declares each team the champ. So who gets the losing team's stuff?

They are hideous, if that is the best design someone can come up with i'm glad we lost and he's done his money.

 

[Jack Straw]

I've still got a couple of similar boxes of Shergar t-shirts from 1983 if anyone's interested?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Wow that is monumentally stupid.
Effectively placing a bet on England winning the tournament at a fraction of the available odds.

I have a Heinz 'cupchup' at home that they made for the Euros but never sold as England couldn't even beat the worst Italian team for a long time

Do I smell BS? Bought the shirts 2 years ago? Nike hadn't released any clues to the shoulder design 2 years ago unless that's part of the print - if so not very economical? 18,000?

Although I was living in France in '93 when Les Bleus missed out on World Cup qualification (last minute v Bulgaria lol) and a load of their USA '94 merch suddenly appeared on the sale rails at the local Intersport

There's a whole load of kids in Zambia who think the Stealers won the conference championship in 2011 the shirts were given to a charity, not trying to be sold on eBay.

Stealers? Did Palace get to the final of something in 2011?

To be fair Admiral apparently had England’s 1974 Munich kit all ready to hit the shops for Xmas 73, until Poland knocked us out in the October

It was eventually re badged and launched 12 months later.

Dunno, but they got the badges done...

Wholesale Clearance UK? I've heard of them somewhen, didn't they have some other item for sale.
Checking their site they have only 340 in stock and at £19.99 each. As they cost less than a fiver to produce I think this is a good scam.
Similar to getting 400 Titanic Maiden Voyage T's printed tomorrow and then selling next week at £19.99 saying you'd missed the boat.
Very clever money making plan, wish I'd thought of it.
Check out the Super League shirts by the way. All just within the law in that it says Manchester on a red shirt rather than United and Tottenham but no Hotspur. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City & Arsenal are place names not football clubs. Think about it.

Reminds me of the tat seller outside Carrow Road selling BRIGHTON - CHAMPIONS - WE ARE PREMIERSHIP scarfs. Not sure how many were sold before the match but not many being sold after!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

There's no such thing as bad publicity

 

[A1X]

This is like the kind of stunt the losing team does on Week 1 of the Apprentice
