Junk Smuggler 3,051 Posted June 30, 2018 Some of you 'may' be more informed than others but what do we reckon the cost is to produce each of our new shirts? Forget the retail price for a second, focus on how much you think it cost to produce and then decide if you think it's worth it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justbeanz 1,552 Posted June 30, 2018 Some sweat shop will be knocking em out for next to nowt. The mark up is ridiculous. Just look at how the last lot of kit was reduced by fifty percent n they would still have been bringing in a healthy mark up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You only have to look at retail For instance that green thing that the grunters had for an away shirt a couple of seasons back Adidas shirt £15 put a grunter badge on it and sponsor thank you sir that'll be £40 The costs bear no relation to price when it comes to merch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torryowl 9,338 Posted July 5, 2018 buy it cheap sell it dear is good business in the retail world and if the consumer is prepared to pay the vastly inflated price then you cant really blame the retailer …...I know it's a flip answer but if you don't think a product is value for money then don't buy it .if everyone worked on that premise the prices of anything would come tumbling down …..that the economy may crash and people would lose there jobs though is another matter . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamsandwich 3,380 Posted July 24, 2018 1) the club have to make money. LOTS of money. Otherwise FFP fizzes us over 2) Chansiri came out a few years ago and said the club only made a few quid on each shirt sale £9 was it? - the manufacturers took the lions share. 3) We decided to make our own / get an independent contract for the shirt production 4) I recall that being £12 per shirt to produce/pay the supplier. BUT THE CLUB GOT TO KEEP THE REST OF THE INCOME. 5) the club need to make money. LOTS of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelerian 36 Posted September 12, 2018 These shirts will be costing no more than 3 quid. I live in Thailand, and I can buy AAA quality copies of most larger clubs or England shirts - where you would not be able to tell the difference between the genuine article and the copy - for 300 baht each (about 7 quid), with discount for buying several. So what cost are they buying them at? Producing their owns shirts is a great peice of business for any club that isnt getting paid the big bucks by Adidas, Unbro, Nike etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darra 8,601 Posted October 21, 2018 Way of the world int it? Watch Dragons den when the Dragons say how much is retail and how much is cost sometimes the gap is ridiculous Knock a bit of plastic out for a few pence and sell it for a few quid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal M 8,356 Posted November 5, 2018 Don't forget. 20% of what the punter pays goes straight to the government as VAT. So the mark up isn't as high as it may appear. The owls are not what they seem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching tonight some punters were knocking out wooden photo frames you could fill with whisky made from old barrels. Cost £8 to produce they were knocking them out for £45 without whisky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
