room0035 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 We go to the factory who make the shirts for adidas and nike and place an order for 20,000 shirts, Nike order is for 5,000,000 but we are expecting to get the same price and priority from the factories. Can anyone think which order the manufacture will be more bothered to fill DC's or Nike....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manipulative Chansiri delayed the release of both of these; to maximise the sales of his preferred all blue sh!T home kit.

They are press releases - no more no less - designed to paint the club in the best light possible. All businesses do it - Wednesday aren’t uniquely bad - just accept them for what they are and take them with a pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F. Spiksley Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Question: What's blue and white striped? Answer: Sheffield Wednesday's Football kit. I really couldn't give a tinkers cuss for anything other than stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I agree that there's clearly going to be two sides to the story. Either way, I hope the club has learned from this experience and long-term we are better for it. The whole kit thing was a bit of a shambles from start to finish. Releasing it late was bad enough, but then when we do it comes out as the 5th most expensive kit in England. Not good. Just had a look on Sports Direct - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City and Spurs shirts selling at £55. Burnley knock out their Puma shirt for forty fecking quid. Owls fans getting mugged with the excuse of FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't buy it then you have not been mugged off. People who have bought it or going to buy it obviously do like it and can afford it and again don't feel mugged.

Of course it wasn't.......... No idea if that was sarcastic or not but just for the purposes of clarity; the contract obviously wasn't in place at the 11th hour. Otherwise we'd have sued for breach of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, at the 11th hour and after he states that everything was agreed, there was either a poorly constructed contract, or you may be right, no contract, which would be stupendously naive. Either way it displays poor business acumen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in business do suppliers get away with suddenly demanding double the cost? It regularly happens, especially if other major companies put threats in to the supplier... IE - we buy/ sorce kits of of you for 20+ clubs, why are you offering these upstarts cheaper kits just cos their boss is from Thailand? Or possibly summat like that..

Don't think that would work really. The manufacturer for e.g. could make the shirts all in for £6.50, then sells them at wholesale price or whatever to SWFC at £12.50 and then CC marks them up to £49. Therefore, if say the manufacturer is left with thousands of shirts at a value of anything upto £49 ish... that's a little more than they stood to make at the above example of £12.50. In essence that would be the best outcome for whoever would be left with 1,000's of them... once any obligatory legal case is out of the way of course, which by then, they could well only be worth £6.50 a unit... or better still for some freakish reason, they gain value and are worth a ton. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty confident that some fans didn’t buy because the kit doesn’t have stripes 9 hours ago, @owlstalk said: I can assure everyone that the process for next season’s kit has already begun and there will be no repeat of the events of this summer. This will result for sure in all sale dates being achieved in a timely and professional manner Already started?!! No fans consultation?!! I’ll bet next years kit won’t have stripes but wil be claimed to be iconic. We’ve had Millwall’s kit and we currently have Ipswich’s - who’s kit for next season? Blackburn’s? Bristol Rovers?

An incredibly long way of saying the suppliers tried to rip us off and we told them to fookoff. but we knew that anyway. Next season had better be sorted, z and if they get it right and the club make additional money then all will be forgiven. but I don't wear football shirts anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
