Bartercard

More shirts than bartercard...

with all the ronaldo press there are lots of info coming out that utd receive 7% of shirt sales. anyone know the structure for us or in the lower leagues? Never seen it discussed by the club before, I can't imagine we sell huge amounts and we mainly use them as a vehicle for sponsorship rather than for product sales.

Imagine we will get a higher % than Man U for the simple fact that as far as I am aware Puma don't pay us to produce our shirts which they do for the big clubs (obviously in return for what they make in sales hence Adidas are the big winners in Ronaldo shirt terms). I imagine at our level what we make is purely the difference between trade and retail prices of the shirts like any other clothes retailer.

it doesn't answer your question but shirt sales barely bring any income to the club apparently

A few years ago i was told that we only get around 5%

If that is true I'd rather the club got a better deal than had a 'big name' kit maker.

Bring back Strikeforce or something.

It does seem very low and unappealing for the clubs to shift other than to show shirt sponsors that your logo with by worn by x amount of people for a minimum of a year often more.

bristol city took their shirt manufacturing in house i believe. be interesting to see their profit margin and whether it is worth it.

We've done that a few times. DGI was definitely in house and I think possibly Diamond Leisure was too.

Genuinely forgot about those shirts! DGI will always be the SSP shirt.

I guess the advantage of a well known brand is the rollout of all the training ware and template accessories. I did love us in adidas just for brand association likewise with fifa

From a selfish perspective this is why I like having the kit made by a decent sportswear manufacturer. I don't buy the shirts anymore but do occasionally dabble in the training wear for garments for the gym etc.

The adidas kits with FIFA, FourFourTwo were brilliant. Not often we've had good kits with decent sponsors!

Yep and Samsung too. For a L2/L1 club at the time Town and us fans were bloody spoiled. I enjoyed the ones with the white "S" that weaved around the shirt too. Still wear that one a fair chunk. Nice fit.
