Apart from kit, I doubt anyone designs anything. Probably all white label crap where you get to provide the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BcfcAllen Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Unless i’m missing it somewhere you’d think the club would have a selection of baby items too such as baby grows, bibs etc. Me and the wife are expecting our first child early next year, a little boy and i’d definitely be in the market for some city merchandise if they offered it. Especially as two of the grandparents are massive Man City fans so i need to make sure the little one is brought up in the right colours! All i can find instead are custom items sold online by small businesses which may include the name Bristol City etc on them but nothing with the official badge and branding produced by the club. Another missed opportunity by the club if you ask me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest issue is the price of the clothing, £50 for some jogging bottoms is extortionate. I wanted to get my son some- we went to the Hummel website instead and got the same stuff just not with the logo on. Eventually got two of the trousers for £33 in medium men’s sizes on their sale .. looks exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing is Bristol Rovers have teamed up with Terrace and actually have a better (and more affordable) range than us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 3 hours ago, SydneyCity said: In 2018, I was back in Bristol for the first time in a long time. There were no home games on but I wanted to go down to see the new Ashton Gate and get some souvenirs for me and the family. I’d read on here for years how bad the shop was but, to be honest, I thought that was just a bunch of people complaining for the sake of it. Anyway… There was no kids stuff in stock, adults were XXL only and somehow there was a 35 minute queue at 10:30am on a Tuesday morning, even though there were only three customers (including myself) in the shop. It was only stubbornness and some misguided loyalty, that led me to persevere in buying a mini football with the badge on it and a sticker. When I got to the front to pay I asked the guy behind the counter if there were any more sizes in the clothing, or kids kits, and he replied: “I don’t know”, then just stood there. I apologise to all those I doubted when they were describing the club shop as terrible. I am now one of you. Don’t even get me started on the club’s international postage rates… Don’t even get me started on the club’s international postage rate.

Why is our selection so rubbish? surely a major missed opportunity. Would have spent at least £20-£30 on key rings, stationary, xmas stuff. Looked at Sheff United to check and they have a massive selection. The shop simply does not match the stadium. The ground has come on leaps and bounds and the shop has not really progressed. The money they lose must be substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Can anyone else remember the stall in the Late 70s, just before the old ticket office, that sold lots of shirts and paraphernalia from the newish formed American League, where lots of older Pros went to play? NASL. I remember wanting a California Surf shirt :laugh: Sold lots of other clubs kits too, as well as badges, pendants, cloth patches, scarf's etc etc I do remember getting an autographed photo of George Best from it.

ralphindevon Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 We’ve had similar threads to this every 6 months since the stadium was redeveloped. Each time i think we’ll hear something from the club telling us things are going to change . I’d love to hear from the club even if it was to say there’s no money in it anymore or something like that. The size of the shop, the range of stock, the range of designs and products are no better than a lot of National League teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everreddy Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Paying 50 quid for clothing which advertises a betting company seems a bit daft, to me. Anything with a naff Robin on doesn’t make much sense, either. So I won’t be spending too much time or money in the City shop then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephjnr Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) The concept of "restock" seems completely alien to that place. Bents' home top is clean out of male adult sizes, as are the white warm-up tops and have been for months.

The shop ran by Beryl - I have very fond memories of that. It was crammed full of stuff. I do really like the café being there. Difference was that Beryl (god rest her soul) was a 100% City supporter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
