I kinda agree with you on that point, but when we first talked about the idea we wanted it to be less formal and more removed from Official Club gear. We (or at least I) wanted mens and ladies underwear with HUFC or AFC Barrow embroidered on the inside of the sweaty area! for reasons such as this we obviously needed to avoid 'official'
I am preparing a couple of ideas to present to the club before next season with a view to taking the whole idea on a level or two. I think we should have two or three ranges of clothing with an entry level cheap product - t's for a fiver etc, a mid-range going out style range ('Stan Lee' anyone?)
and then the official more expensive stuff that the average Joe won't pay for
.
I could stick the Town Crest on everything we do but it would upset the club, add more to the embroidering/printing costs than our gear currently allows, and take us away slightly from the entry level stuff we aimed for. If we sold as much stuff as we expected to have done by now we would have been on the second or third large order and would be looking at alternative ideas and products, the type that need larger volume. As it stands we will have to continue scrapping around for sales until such time as we find better methods of selling (or more people to do it)
