Bowie Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Maybe I've missed something but, Where is the new kits and when they actually going to be out in the City Store? Season starts Saturday, my season tickets only came through this morning and still I'm unable to get my oldest this seasons shirt? What the hell is going on at ADIDAS? Looking at Southampton (who have EXACTLY the same kit) their kit is on sale, why not ours? Not impressed at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Clearly this is way retail works.... I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not. If a fan wants a shirt then they will wait a week or so. I cannot see any fans saying 'if I cannot get my shirt in time for the Bradford game then I'm not bothering.'

Lordofthebling Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 They've missed out on the wasted marketing of the launch and pre season sales... I will be wearing my old shirt on Saturday, and if they win, that's it for the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night84 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Shirt sales would be higher before the season starts. If we get beat on the opening day I can't see too many thinking it's a good idea to invest in a shirt immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collier Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Grown adults in replica football shirts. Oh dear. Typical holier than thou response. Don't you think its important for the club to make as much as possible from merchandising then?? If only children bought shirts city would lose a whole lot of money each season on top of what we already do. Personally I would buy one just to support the club even if I wasn't expecting to get much wear out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers-ran-away Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Why can't people wear what they want . Id rather play football with my mates with a city top and shorts rather than a Stone island jumper and Armani jeans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz6794 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I always buy a shirt but don`t wear it very often, it is just to support the club financially albeit in a very small way. I am exiled in Devon and have a young family and therefore cannot get to that many games (About 5 a season) Everybody has their opinion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Regardless of whether or not City will lose sales because of the delay, there is another fundamental issue – providing a good service to the supporters. In addition to the problem with the shirts, the issue of season tickets was poor and buying match day tickets online has been left to the last minute. (see latest problem below) http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/156050-printing-tickets/ We’re living in an age when people who pay money for a product of any sort expect a good efficient service.

We’re living in an age when people who pay money for a product of any sort expect a good efficient service. shirts was beyond the clubs control and really there was nothing they could do about it, The ticket issue really should of been comunicated a hell of a lot better, the club should of sent out a mailshot/email as well of posting on here alot earlier about the delay, The majority have them now which is good but should of been handled alot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 So the bottom one is no one has a clue. It's mindnumbing that neither City or Adidas have got this sorted, the shirt is effectively the same as another club and yet they have got their sorted but we haven't There is no doubt it will result in a loss of earnings for City, many people buy the new shirt for the summer holidays or for kids birthdays earlier in season. 4 days till the start of the season and no kit is a complete and utter farce. So many good things going on from the football side of the club, yet the commercial/retail side still needs a mass clear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they won't, it's summer time at the mo, people are going on there holidays, they want to wear them whilst its hot. My lads want a shirt now,they won't be interested in wearing a short sleeved shirt once September comes and winter is on its way. May as well wait until March when they are on sale for a tenner.

Some-thing a bit more understated than team shirts are ok, a badge or something like that, maybe a watch if that rocks the boat but non matchday shirts doo look wrong on older blokes..

i hate rovers Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 theres a few on here saying that if youre a adult you shoudnt wear a replica shirt why?..as already said its money for are club also its up to a individual surely? imagine the lost income if adults didnt buy?..man u and all the other prem sides would lose hell of a lot of cash if it wasnt for adult shirt sales.look at rangers the other week hundreds had them on and where proud of it...be it a shirt scarf ,or a pin badge ,its income for the club wear it with pride i say.mind you if it was a sag shirt.................
