Simon79 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Have had an email from City cancelling an order for a youth rain jacket, which was placed & paid for last week. As it is out of stock. Teach me for trying to be organised! COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42104RED Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I was in the UK in early September-visiting from the US-stopped by the "Super Store" with the intention of buying all three shirts for this season. The store only had one shirt in my size and was told that the existing stock was all they would have for the rest of the season. How can the club run out of shirts so early? This is not only bad PR, but it 's costing the club a lot of monry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Why couldn’t we have been told the reason behind the low stocks? Even if it wasn’t all out in the open they could have at least put a message out saying there were supply issues, we might have had a smaller thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not only bad PR, but it 's costing the club a lot of monry. It's a strange one. Clubs notified Thursday, Southampton ended their Partnership Monday. Oldham took control of their shop the other day. Elite Sports were fined £5ook in a case against them, Rangers and JD Sports and went in to Admin the day after their Court case against Rangers was announced. I'm have no idea how it works, or how will Admin pay for a Court case that could be worth around £10m . I guess that now Elite has broken their Contracts, so it allows clubs to make new deals elsewhere . None of this explains why City couldn't have mentioned problems with supply. At least then any anger would be aimed at Elite and not the Club, not really the time to be keeping things close to the chest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Am I missing something? Have just seen this on Bristol live & a statement from the club! Because I’m fairly confident that the retail offering up to Christmas has been affected. I’ve had an email saying my order which was made & paid for last week (Christmas present ) is out of stock! COYR Home shirts remain in limited stock and there are no available sizes above a large online. There are only small and medium sizes in the adult goalkeeper jersey but the club say they have received stock for the 2022/23 season. In a statement, the club told Bristol Live: "We can confirm that Elite Sports Group, Bristol City’s kit supplier and UK distributor for hummel has gone into administration. We’ve received our stock for the 22/23 season and can reassure fans that our retail offering in the run-up to Christmas will not be affected. We are working with hummel Denmark to understand the process going forwards." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when they partnered they had been reassured and done whatever steps were deemed necessary to work with them. Could be Elite have distribution contracts with dozens of other companies and one of them let them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite have been involved in a lot of litigation, and were being sued for withholding monies owed (by Rangers) as long ago as 2020. It seems to be a company that has grown out of a sports shop in Hatfield. TBH Hummel should've had a clause allowing it to ditch what looks like a highly dodgy partnership proposition. The company does have its own direct merchandising department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I certainly hope that a solution can be found with a new distributor as I like Hummel, a company that works with a team to produce unique kits and not just trade blank template with a sponsor and badge stuck on like Adidas.

And this announcement has done nothing to suggest that this is going to change, and so their retail offering in the run up to Christmas will indeed not be affected.
