Absolutely - the design imagination of the goods in the club shop is zero and it would actually be wonderful if the Teegulls guys were able to produce official merchandise with no design interference or compromise from the club.

Yep. I do find this very very strange. There is incredible designers in the city that could create some really cool and innovative garments, but we're stuck with absolute sh*te.

What? You mean you can't just download images off the club website and stick them on some merchandise? Looks like my Brighton and Hove Albion "Guess Who?" game is screwed then.

That was the one - Cult Zeros.

I wonder if Nike have some sort of monopoly on what the club sells? The shop had to be completely refurbished when we started with Nike (to its detriment imo)
Love that. WANT.
Assume they've had to burn remaining stock. Shame.

I'm stuck in two minds here. I can understand why ANY business wants to protect their 'intellectual property' rights, but this is Albion!
This is what happens when you reach the big time, unfortunately.

Proves the point, there are some brilliant, imaginative designers out there. Get them in PB!
If you don't protect your image rights and trademarks against the small guys, I guess it can soon escalate. And club needs to be seen to be doing the right thing by its partners (Amex, Nike etc) too.
Teegulls needed to be more subtle, like TSLR. Name was risky and mentioning the club (and therefore trading off the back of it) on the website was a bad move.
That’s brilliant.
Would be a shame if the graphic file leaked too, of course...

Yeah, it was when Zamora came back and the club started to do T-shirts for him.

You've hit the nail on the head there, Wozza. Let's just say I've had my knuckles wrapped - and as many have you have pointed out it wasn't exactly unwarranted.
Thanks for your kind comments about the designs. It was fun coming up with them.
Teegulls is no more, but something a lot less 'legally compromising' will be coming soon. Don't worry... I've learnt my lesson.
Watch this (and all the usual) spaces!
Cheers,
Craig
Thanks for the update Craig. I look forward to your new direction.

Hi Craig,
Love the designs, have you approached the club for them to sell your product? Or have they asked to stock your designs?
