In fact, there seems to be nothing you can't get! Branded mobile phone power packs, beach towels, umbrellas, fleece jackets... never ending the shite they can sell in bulk.

Sure there would be enough talent on these pages to find some suitable designs.

I’m amazed that somebody doesn’t Rob if I was younger or could do with the money I would do it , without hesitation 20 years ago I started with £250 and an idea I paid for the first embroidery set up and my first set of t shirts , basically to and thro mates I quickly recouped my outlay and profit which I used to buy more shirts and expanded to polos and a few sweatshirts etc In 3 months with no design , retail or any other sort of knowledge, and selling only to and through mates - I’d increased my initial investment ten fold my only ‘risk’ at anytime was the initial £250 if I never sold a shirt As I said the biggest thing was copyright but as you say there are all sorts of designs that could succeed Amazed someone doesn’t grasp the opportunity as a sideline More importantly the Club , with the copyrights , the captive audience , a retail store and online outlet could and should be absolutely smashing this , especially with the rebrand , They even have a large base of potential customers who will pay a little above because of their bond with the club Sadly , it appears , despite a long planned rebrand the retail side is not prepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who owns the copyright on various images though - I assume that the photographer who took the iconic image of Scotty celebrating at Cardiff owns that (which would make a great tshirt image), but maybe there is a deal to be done.

Some ones that sound awful in modern pc society but similar ones from 80s 90s ‘Lock up yer Daughters’ And one which probably summed up our image in 80s , 90s ’We came , we saw , we conquered .....

ChippenhamRed Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 9 hours ago, Bar BS3 said: I honestly don’t understand why people feel the need to comment on the perceived value of something that they aren’t going to buy...! It’s there, on display. Clearly price marked. You either want it, at that price, or you don’t. FWIW - I don’t think the t-shirts are good value, but the polo shirts look smart and £35 for a “branded” polo is hardly extortionate. “You don’t have to buy it” is not an excuse for overpricing. As for “branded” - it’s Bristol Sport. It doesn’t have a brand reputation for quality that justifies the price. I am a big fan of the Bristol Sport model but my understanding was that bringing the kits in-house would save the club money. Quite clearly none of these savings are being passed onto the fans - in fact quite the opposite. It’s disappointing and it’s entirely reasonable that people want to make the point.

Pickle Rick Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just got an update on the hoodie after it was looked at in the shop. Not all that for the price so won’t bother. Might get some of the grey shorts as someone on the thread menationed though Reasonable price for what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's frightening to me is that us simple folk can spot these glaring opportunities that would make the club thousands. But the highly paid marketing department within Bristol Sport aren't seeing it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a little behind but based on my experiences if you do , and I can help I’ll happily do so i see my embroiderer is still operating and the owner was brilliant helping and advising , suggesting etc My immediate recommendation in terms of set up costs and start up , and embroidery etc would be to start with one simple clean logo , say something like the old robin and to start with one product in one or two colours nearly my biggest error was expanding colours and products With Polos And t shirts and 3 colours I was quickly stocking 60/70 items Product x colour x sizes (There were about six or seven sizes alone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have no idea what their copyright situation is but I think this might be the answer for what I'm looking for - at very decent prices: https://oldschoolfootball.co.uk/collections/championship/bristol-city Surely this is exactly what the club should be offering with the current logo? Amidst all the self-congratulation about the logo launch you'd have thought that producing a range of quality goods featuring it in time for the summer season would have been more of a priority.
