Anyone any views on the suitability or otherwise of the Panthers' merch offering this season? (replica shirts aside) It's a bugbear of mine, but I was open-mouthed at a plain grey CCM T-shirt with an iron-on transfer Panthers logo on it being on sale at £30 on Saturday?!? Not even gig t-shirts are that expensive, and they're proper screen printed. The sweatshirts aren't too bad, I guess, but you have to like gold... There's also the usual bizarre merch, like Panthers branded Jenga, this year. It's no great surprise to me that the fans are hardly flocking to the stand before, during or after the game. Is this an opportunity missed? Comments, suggestions, rants welcome.  |

Looking at the website there's nothing I'd buy. It's all far too busy, which is the norm.
I'd have thought simple logo front, player name/number back t-shirts would be an easy sell. Provided you could find a popular player of course. Then again it depends if you use our really busy logo with the building society over the top, or just the cat. The former is a bit of a mess IMO.
Finally, whoever thinks that
NOTTI
NGHAM
motif looks good needs to go back and finish design school.
In fairness they probably don't design this stuff for tightfisted middle aged grumps that don't go anymore...

Put some excitement/entertainment on the ice before I put a logo on my back

The CCM t shirts are quite thin material. I'd expect better quality at £20-£25 a pop.

Is this an opportunity missed? Comments, suggestions, rants welcome. One issue I have with Panthers branding is colour palette. It's a joke. Pick a shade of gold/yellow and stick to it. If you're creating branding for your organisation, you pick some official colours and you stick by them. If you're just making generic shirts with a logo, fine, you stick it on different colour T-shirts, polo shirts, etc... however if you have a single design of a hoody and you're making it in the club colours, use the right colours, not some eye melting bright yellow monstrosity. As you can probably gather, I prefer something alluding to gold rather than bright yellow. Also, make the clothing cheaper or higher quality. At the moment it's £25-30 for a poor quality t-shirt or £50 for a hoody. I'm not going to pay that if I think the design will have peeled off in a couple of years. |

Am usually half the actual sale price at shops,so maybe I should not be complaining? |
