Mendip City

Oh blimey. When you put it like that let’s hope his decision making over a successor is better than his managerial appointments!

Yeah I’m with you on that. If we have to have 3 kits they should surely be red/white, white/black and then whatever weird concoction they want for kit 3.

Glad someone else feels this way. They are just wrong.

If only LJ had waited….

I agree. However, what happens if we play against someone who wears red, washed out yellow, green and white? Oh hang on, no one does….

He must be delighted he left Luton for this shambles!

That last time we had a cliffhanger like this was SODs “Stupid question” moment. Someone more talented than me could probably probably merge the two together maybe to a dance beat. We could have a hit on our hands “Stupid question…. I can’t answer that!!!”

Wow - that’s great news for him. not sure it’s good news for us, Bournemouth fans can start getting excited though!!! ?

He’s gone isn’t he? One way or another. Sad state of affairs.

You’re right. That’s exactly what it is - PR talk, isn’t it? We hear it every year…. But only when season tickets need to be shifted and optimism is at its highest (due to us not actually playing games ?). My favourite question on the club’s (SL’s) ambition seem very relevant: If you had to bet your home on it, which way will City next exit this division, up or down?

I’ll cut back on the happy pills ? they’re making me see things! ?

I saw one of those once… I think ?

Yeah I like that City logo and the one you’ve got is a sensible price. it’s a bit of a seventies look (the logo). If we’d just gone with that and not the splat thing, I think there would have been far less grumbling. I’d actually not mind that logo on a change shirt - maybe go for a bit of a retro style shirt and at least make a theme of it. I also remember that BS would be able to produce at fairer prices…. Turned out to be BS!!!!

Good point. It would be interesting to know the split between leisure/training wear and shirts. It seem more people are buying training/leisure than ever before. Also take your point about short timescales to replace Hummel but my point was more about consumer pricing… we’ve landed with a small brand at higher than normal prices for customers (well supporters actually). The club is making significant margin more from its supporters than other similar clubs (as shown above). That’s just exploiting a captive market. Man United/Adidas £60 Bristol City/O’Neils £65…. It doesn’t sit right with me, global brand Man Utd who never knowingly give a toss about their fans charging less than City…. https://store.manutd.com/en/manchester-united-adidas-dna-hoodie-black/p-1247691950446863+z-977-2346089174?_ref=p-FPP:m-TS:pi-PDP_RECOMMENDATIONS_1:i-r0c0:po-0

It’s worse, it’s £40 not £30 for the awful splat logo….. plus postage!

At least the strategy is completely clear - maximise profit irrespective of quality. Strike a deal with a low-end manufacturer and sell at an absurd price to a captive market (prices higher than similar clubs using better brands/quality merchandise). Hopefully there will be a big enough downturn in sales to hit the club and force a re-think for next season.

Commercially, at club level, it would make no sense to pay equally. However, after watching yesterday’s dross I could make decent case for paying our men the same as the women!!!

Agree. Do we have scouts in Europe I wonder?

I’d love that in Bristol City’s CV!!

Phones are definitely not working.

Good work! All better than the actual offering Quite why some posters have decided to be so spiteful in their comments, I don’t know… but feel free to chuck in any further ideas!

Here’s their home kit. A template from Adidas but a really smart, clean shirt. Personally I’d prefer us to have something like this. Oh and Adidas products £10 cheaper than O’Neils? Not so sure about Bez and Shaun playing up top together though!!

Oh I like that….

I doubt it is O’Neils. Something is wrong with the club that we so often have kit supply problems. I wonder whether we aren’t easy to deal with as a business and strike too hard a deal or don’t buy in the quantities to make us an attractive customer…. Working out way form the manufacturer’s priority list. All speculation but sobering seems odd.

Is it me or do we have “supply issues” with every kit manufacturer??? What’s the common denominator here…??
