Was actually surprised to see a selection of warm winter hats in this weather, but probably just a way of getting rid for new lines.. though probably won't see a warm wooly hat again though until next summer... Wallets, mugs,stationery, rucksacks, general bits like that I noticed can't say I paid attention to any clothing in there.

Surely they haven't sold everything!? Has anybody been in and able to confirm what they have and prices etc? Assuming they've just taken last seasons shirts off the site already, surely you want to be able to maximise any potential profit by putting them under a sale section? Not everybody lives around the corner and can just "pop in". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 The shop is truly crap. It was better when we had TFG as kit supplier, and even that was fairly woeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper 123 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 The club shop is old fashioned a bit like buying from a freeman’s club book , I did offer them terrace style options and ideas after all that’s the people who wear them but they laughed me out of office and told me if I sold my designs they’d sue for copy rights .Its easy small print on polos the style of Some high street designers and T-shirt’s , on the side of smart cotton shorts , linen shirts you can wear on evening out who ever is in charge of this down there wants SACKING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS15_RED Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I was browsing around 3Retro the other day, and whilst looking I noticed they were selling retro Bukta Crystal Palace and Wolves shirts. Now as City had a host of shirts from Bukta back in the 80’s and early 90’s, it made me think that the club are missing a trick here as they would go down an absolute storm with City fans. Maybe this is something that the club could look into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is it would require some research and effort from those that operate the shop and you're confusing them with someone who gives a damn about City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not likely to sell thousands more like 100's. So where do you start size wise how many to order in each size ? How much will the original sponsors and kit manufacturers expect from the sales? Sorry but for the small (ish) number that would sell imo the margins would make it a unworthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to stock ScoreDraw retro shirts in the club shop, I've got one of the Hirerite shirts from the late 80s that was in the range.

Citychuds Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 this shows the club are really missing a trick. How many people would buy something like this for non football days? When the badge was changed I thought the club was going down this route. A simple badge that can look good in a single colour and doesn’t have Latin and coats of arms that no one wants to see on normal bit of clothing. Instead we get designs like you would find on the discount rail in Debenhams (10 years ago!), hashtags, huge robins like a bill board, or huge bannered words like city’ or Ashton gate! Thousands of people wear polo shirts and hoodies with a simple small logo on the breast, be it a sports brand or a fashion brand. Why not the robin? I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what I was (badly) trying to say is when the club changed the badge I thought they had got the message and maybe they have a bit with a couple of the hoodies and tees but far too often we see this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
