Look closely and you'll see the player numbers are actually velcroed on so Carlos can change the squad without needing extra shirts. Genius bit of money saving that must be doing wonders for our FFP situation.

N0rtherner Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 1 hour ago, DeeJayOne said: When, as a club we ditched a mainline 'kit manufacturer', we lost access to the pretty much the only large-scale regular kit manufacturing plants in the world, because those big-name manufacturers book the ones that exist out pretty much fully months and months in advance. So, we have to look for smaller scale manufacturers with their own plants - many of which will struggle with such a big order (for retail) in such a short timeframe, which means getting in much earlier in any case - thats why my alarm bells started ringing when the previous 'deal' collapsed as late as this Spring just gone - it should all have been done and dusted and we should have been in production well in advance of then in a small-scale plant anyway, so we were bound to have major delays. Of course, I don't know the full ins-and-outs, or what OnTheGo's capacity actually is (or the previous manufacturer which fell through), but it doesn't feel like good preparation on the club's part to me and the buck should reasonably stop there. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame OnTheGo for the deal, of course they would jump to such a deal knowing probably we are in a sticky situation since we're far too late; I solely blame the club for getting themselves in the position this was the option they had to go for. If they had been quicker to move ahead with finalising shirt designs, etc. we could've got a deal with a big manufacturer. I hope someone at head office has put in a reminder to start working on Shirt designs for '18/'19 already now in November so that these are finished by January/February and ready to go.

Eaton_Swfc Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Fairly sure the big clubs will have already ordered next seasons shirts already, in fact they're probably already in production somewhere. Meanwhile, at S6 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sounds like this guy is trying a slightly different model to most kit manufacturers. Not ideal so far, but it'll be interesting to see if it works out better financially for Wednesday in the long run to source the manufacturer like this and separately sell the sponsor slot traditionally used for the manufacturer.

Tyto Alba Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 If Chansiri was so bothered about FFP he would have ordered a striped kit. How can he throw away shirt sales just based on the fact that he doesn't like stripes but then insist on charging top dollar for tickets and shirts appealing to fans to help with FFP. A striped retro kit made by Umbro, or a recreation of the most popular shirt...the Bukta....would have sold all summer long making huge profits. This situation is part incompetence and part stubborness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Personally I'm not bothered about replica kits, always find them a bit uncomfortable and largely unsuitable for any occasions other than matchday, so they never seem decent value to me even at £30-40, never mind £50-60. However, I would love some official Owls clothing to wear to games that would add to the sea of Wednesday colours in the home end. My problem is that, in a leisurewear category of more than 30 items on the official website, we sell literally NOTHING in our club colours. Everything's navy, grey or cream. https://www.medocmall.co.uk/cgi-bin/live/ecommerce.pl?site=theclubshop_sheffieldwednesday&state=products&dept_id=22&sub_dept_id=10 (Ok, there's the arguable exception of the weird cycling jersey, but that's downright bizarre and looks slightly too light blue to me anyway). That's got to be unheard of anywhere else in the football league, surely? Fair enough if the replica kits debacle hasn't been entirely the club's fault, but browsing our Megastore and not being able to buy one single item in our proper home colours is just...I mean...how does that even happen?!

Mr. Tom Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Oh god, the women's section is even worse https://www.medocmall.co.uk/cgi-bin/live/ecommerce.pl?site=theclubshop_sheffieldwednesday&state=products&dept_id=22&sub_dept_id=20 FFS, how hard is it just to order in a few different basic t-shirts, hoodies and jackets in the famous Wednesday blue (or even something remotely close to it)? I could order a box of 'em on Amazon in three minutes. Absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My kid just asked me for a Sheffield Utd shirt. Because he can't get a Wednesday one. Feel dirty and upset and also a terrible father.

Kids were more divided between the two than most adults when I was at school! Has there been some sort of shift to an 'ah well it's all Sheffield innit' mentality since I were a lad?
