RedRock Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Now, truly not difficult for anyone in the retail trade. You’d think that any outlet would stock in the middle of winter/lead up to Xmas the most reliable seller since Club Shops were invented. Yep, the standard olde beanie or bubble hat. Have we got one? Nope. Hopeless, utterly hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sew a City badge on and job`s a good `un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Beryl was virtually a one-woman band, organised away travel, yet still managed to run a well-stocked Club shop out of a friggin leaky portacabin. There must be thousands of suppliers available for a beanie type product. Beyond my comprehension. Still, suppose it’s part of our Bristol Sport DNA that we’re not very good at football supporter interactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Personally I miss the bronx hat that we did years ago and lost during a visit to Rotherham. That one had a proper sew on badge as opposed to the modern way of crap stuck on badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s definitely a conversation starter! Let me know when you order and I’ll stick in some free stickers and a pin badge In all serious a majority of orders come from outside South Bristol, ambassadors don’t need to explain their choice of gear.

Sir Geoff Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 I went into the shop before the Forest game intending to buy a beanie hat. The shop in its current form is a joke and costing the club thousands of pounds in lost revenue due to lack of stock and space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Apparently there may have been problems with the quality of the hats and they may have been sent back to the supplier. I managed to get one a couple of weeks ago after weeks of searching the website, if they’ve sold out already, they were probably low on stock in the first place.

This does seem somewhat of an overreaction. You must really like beanie hats. And yet worthy of complaint. It’s coming up to Christmas, the shop should be fully stocked ready. I went in last year, maybe the year before, no Christmas jumpers , in fact I don’t think they had adult size shirts in stock. It has to be the best time of the year to sale all sorts of tat. We just don’t make the effort. And while I’m moaning about effort. The Xmas jumpers we did have were generic, a reindeer with a clubs name on. As our nickname is ‘Robins’ , you’d think they would make the extra tiny effort, I’m sure they would sale well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Have we got a SLO who sorts these things out or has he gone AWOL like the rest of them? Assume someone from the Club monitors OTIB as one of the listening devices for supporter feedback. Probably not though. Oh for a rival to set up on matchdays in a pop up shop nearby to AG.

Let's just say someone organised a charity fundraiser up the creek, and borrowed kit from a community part of a club, when it was finally returned have a guess which parts of the kit were missing 32 minutes ago, RedRock said: Have we got a SLO who sorts these things out or has he gone AWOL like the rest of them?

Our stock and selection in the shop has been awful for years, you only have to look at what we used to stock in the little portacabin years ago to show what could / should be being sold by the club. What is amazing I am sure the younger supporters of our club would jump at the chance to buy some of these items @RedRock Our new SLO doesn't start until Monday 16th December 2019, and yes members of staff from Bristol Sport are often on this site reading comments so they will be very aware of thoughts on the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new badge (and the old ones) is absolutely a registered trade mark. This includes being registered in class 25 (clothes). Even if the club haven't trade marked the words on their own they could still easily sue you under the laws of passing off if you made and sold your own "Bristol City" hat.

Bloke in shop " we are hoping to get some in on the 16th December" Me " what? not even in time for the Millwall & Blackburn games?"
