RevOwl Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Interesting listening to Darren Gough on talk sport yesterday talking about how he'd heard that Wednesday turned down Nike's offer of manufacturing the first team kit and training kit even though they offered the biggest deal outside of the premiership. It makes you wonder what's behind DC's thinking. A bit of egotism maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onge Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Maybe manufacturing them ourselves is more profitable. Or maybe the rumour is a load of testicles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp1981 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm sure it has been said that the club would make very little profit from someone else manufacturing the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack the Hat Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Maybe we were worried that Nike wouldn’t deliver the kits on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be fair, it's always going to be better for us to make our own kit than take a deal with a manufacturer who will want a percentage. Just not bothered...

room0035 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) In all seriousness with the fact we are having to transport the kits 12,000 miles from where they are made in Australia, the time in takes the kit to come out, the thousands of kits left over each season. Does anyone really think we have made that much by making our own kit Nike, Adidas, Puma, Diadora make football kits for a living the cost maybe £5-10 to make and sell for £40. We have made them ourselves, transported them ourselves, had the shipment arrive late every year, then had to order a volume so the order would be made over what we needed then charge £59 a shirt. I think when you compare how our shirts are made by a manufacturer, to making them ourselves the difference in profit will be minor but the difference in hassle and reach of the advertising will be massive. outside of Sheffield has anyone seen an Owls shirt in a shop. Compare that to Leeds Utd shirts made by Kappa probably in every sport store in the UK. Edited April 22, 2020 by room0035 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 If that is true it is absolutely mind boggling from DC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
