Well I for one can’t tell the difference. Identical
Just like the leaving roots hall ones forgot what the club called themHave I actually ended up with a collectors item?
2025any idea when the new stock of kits will be available
Do you think
That the lack of new stock is due to us not affording to pay for the new stock, we owe for the old stock, aka same situation as Hummel?
Cash flow issues
They said the same about Hummel thoughOr could it be supply chain issues from a European company that manufacture in China that most other clubs seem to be having?
Thought the club shop was totally outsourced to Macron hence we don't have to pony up for stock and only get the profits on a quarterly basis? Or isn't that correct?
Last few seasons we were truely cooked.Shrimps start off a grey colour, but turn pink when cooked, and of course we are Shrimpers…
It’s a tenuous link, but I like it
We have 3 bespoke shirts (despite some people still not understanding what bespoke actually means).
It takes about 3/4 months to manufacture a bespoke shirt. It's obviously not just sitting there on a shelf waiting for us to place an order to Macron HQ.
With bespoke shirts the club will have to place a pre order (forecast) on certain quantities they believe we will sell.
50 pieces is usually the minimum requirement for a pre order.
I know for a fact we only received a drop of 50 pink shirts.
At a guess, maybe 250 home shirts, 200 away, as I say, that's a rough guess.
But it's sold.
So now we go back into production for a new drop, with the minimum quantities required and this process will take some months to re-manufacture.
That's before we even talk about global delays in shipping still being caused by Covid and Brexit issues.
At what point do the economics of shirt/kit manufacturers in the UK , and sponsorship reach a balance that makes UK produced item viable?
And would not such an item, with a Union flag adorning it have a great cache?
I believe New Balance year is UK made?
They said the same about Hummel though
And we all know what happened there
It was never publicly announced, but there was a Club statementDo we?
Obviously the relationship was terminated - but do we know why?
