Fudger Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I’m rather scunnered with that entire launch today to be honest. If anyone knows of somewhere I could buy the training clobber minus the Ayrshire amateur team look then give me a shout and I’ll pay good money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eggy Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Can't pre order the new tops on launch day. Leisurewear for sale last seen in the mother superiors living room. People defaulting on mortgages as they're being charged 12k for a sleeve of golf balls. All in a good days work. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepie Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 How can the club justify charging the same as Everton’s bespoke training gear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going onto other teams shops where the kit is supplied by Hummel you can see how much better their training gear etc looks compared to ours and more ranges and items available. I doubt that Hummel imposed the kit on us. I expect the club selected a range of items based on what they thought would appeal to the taste and pocket of our support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you say, the point I'm making is they clearly can supply a better quality of product than what our club has picked or received. 6 minutes ago, Killiepie said: How can the club justify charging the same as Everton’s bespoke training gear. But as stated how can we be charging the same money for a product that looks cheaper than a superior looking product? Is this the club taking a cheaper product and selling it at the high end price to try and maximize their profit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allymitchell91 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Disappointed, waited for noon, bank card in hand, looking for 3 strips minimum, couldn't pre order and not impressed with the quality of the training gear. And the "true blue" doesn't sit well. Spend £0 when there was potential for the club to really excite me and gain a couple of hundred quid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby14 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) That polo looks like a charity shop number. Horrific presentation. Remember a comment a couple of weeks back when someone claimed the Hamilton Tarmac logo on the front of the training kits was simple but smart. It looks f**king terrible. The Hummel training gear is basic at best, it looks terrible in the pictures and the sponsor doesn’t help. Wouldn’t look out of place in the Amateurs. just had another look, the badge looks like a sticker, and the collar is black!

You might have hit the nail on the head! Volume comes into it too. Everton will sell a lot more than we will so can maybe take a smaller margin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't, but the fact it even got launched suggests otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based by people's reactions on here and Facebook the club aren't going to make any profit on the training gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Biggest worry for me is that the club seem to be treating the fans as cash cows, do they not understand that, at best most people having to get bye on 20% less money? Ach , don’t answer that, some of the promotion pics are awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojike and Bod Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 You’d like to think the club will be aware of the fans displeasure. It’s all over social media and on here. Whoever has responsibility for retail needs to take a long hard look at themselves. It’s been an absolute shambolic launch and once again the club shoots itself in the foot and loses much needed revenue. I ordered some stuff today (well I think I did payment hasn’t actually been taken after the ‘glitch’) to support the club financially. However the website is unprofessional and should never have been launched in that state. We have to get much better at the basics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
