[LIBBA] Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 In regards to summer merch... My email: I was wondering if any summer merch is going to be sold? The turtle necks dont really go well with the summer heat and a lot are wondering if singlets will be sold to the general public? A la the training style.... And any other summery items? Thanks Club's generic response failing to answer 1 question: The full range of Merchandise is available online at the official Club Shop and at the two retail outlets within AAMI Park on match-days.https://premier.sportsubs.com.au/aleague/heart/producttype/2 Try emailing Melanie Price. She has been awesome with any question i have emailed her about. I'd say though the response will most likely be that the powers that be dont want to release them, Maybe call the club and ask to speak to the merchandise department. I think though maybe shes a little more open with me cause i hound the shit out of her for everything lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I can't understand why the club is reluctant to sell merchandise. Yes there's a production cost but if you've got customers wanting the product why not sell to them? I would have thought the more people advertising MHFC the better for the club.

I have spoken to them in the past suggesting certain merchandise like the full tracksuit players/staff wear.... supporters love wearing what they get to wear not some cheap bland t-shirt etc... If we want to be taken seriously as a professional football club then produce great merch and let the fans publicise the club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I actually got a proper response once when I asked about shorts. They said it was basically the numbers. They said they have researched and they wouldn't sell enough to justify the cost. Reading between the lines it's kappa who won't justify the costs and therefore won't sell them.

The Aardvark Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's bafflng though because presumably they are making them for no profit when they make them for the players. So why not add an extra 20 onto the production line when they make them for the squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, how was the research done? Certainly no-one ever asked me. I'm perhaps a little past wearing striped football jerseys, but the tracksuit top would be great for going to matches on the cooler days etc. and for general use around the place. Wouldn't cost a hell of a lot to send an e-mail out to all season-ticket holders and ask "What would you like if it was available?" To me sounds like someone isn't trying hard enough.

If everyone here emailed Melanie with requests hopefully they will see the demand... because according to them there is no demand for anything... That's a good idea...but the fact is that only a small percentage of season-ticket holders come near this forum. Our STH tally stands at 7027. That's the potential market.

thedukeofhearts Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 We should just start our own independent melbourne gear label. Design some shit up and do one of those kickstart thingies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Josh, Thank you for your email. The full range of Merchandise is available online at the official Club Shop and at the two retail outlets within AAMI Park on match-days. https://premier.sportsubs.com.au/aleague/heart/producttype/2 As you can imagine, the apparel management process with Kappa is quite particular, and there are limited allocations within the range we receive for “Retail” and “Football”. Unfortunately, I do not anticipate that any training singlet’s will be available for purchase in the near future. Kind regards,Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Knew it was Kappa. Said all along is just some guy in broadmedows in his back shed. It took them months to even get a website going here in australia.Although they were selling 3rd kit shorts on friday.Has anyone tried on a ccm kit? Their collar looks totally different to ours.

Dylan Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I just don't understand how hard it would be to produce more... This club is so shit on so many different levelsIts not the club it is Kappa. The club doesnt pay anything to have the kits produced or the gear for training made as they are 'sponsored' by Kappa. So bottom line is Kappa decides what gets made and what doesnt. Email Kappa not the club.FWIW I believe we are the only club to sell the keeper kit and I am pretty sure that was due to everyone asking for it, so there is some hope if enough pressure is put on Kappa....But this is the last year of the contract so I doubt it.

xXJawsaXx Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I like red and white stripes and I don't think that should be changed, however, I am all for changing the away kit. Another think I would rather would be to have black shorts with the home kit as opposed to red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As what was my response to Melanie's email to me..They might have pushed for it. there issnt any evidence to say they didnt and to think that the evidence for them not pushing for it is that they dont sell it, I think thats clutching at straws. Apparently Kappa in Australia is based in Melbourne in Abbotsford. BRZ apparel.I just tried to email kappa and seems like the email address doesnt exist anymore.
