Shirts...or lack of - AGAIN!!

[Kadie]

Just thought I'd let you know that once again my birthdays come around (yesterday in fact ) and my brother went to get me a Panthers shirt...and guess what they didnt have any - AGAIN!! or to be more precise they only have really huge shirts or really tiny shirts (according to my brother). I know its just one of those things, as they're really popular - but this happens every year at around this time (i know they dont care its my birthday or anything ;D lol) but I just would have thought that by now they would realise how shirt sales genrally go. So now I've got to wait til November which is apparently when they get their next order in...gutted

[heja]

why don't you get him to buy one when they first come out and then be mean and not let you have it until your B'day?

[britfan]

buy one and keep it till your birthday. atleast you know you will have one then, lol ;D ;D

[P.G.F.I.]

To be fair ... why not?! We're only 2 home games in to the season.

Yes but we are 3 weeks into the season as well, and when most people by there shirts in the first few days,its no suprise there are none left.

Of course most people buy them in the first few days - you can't get them any other time!

If a shop only stocks a product for three weeks a year, then when else could people buy the product?

Its probably better the club understocking in the first place just so they can find out how popular they are then bring more in when they know how many they need.

That's fine if they can restock quickly, but I think it took them until after Christmas last time. Seemed like it anyway. Not having shirts available for half the season seems a missed opportunity really.

I think that was because of shinedog not the NIC, as i think shinedog took like a month to ship one batch over lol eg why they have gone with CH-sports this year, think thats Mick Hicks(the ref) Company isn't it?.

[Kadie]

The thing is my brother lives in London and can only come up to Nottingham occassionly due to his job, so its not like he can just buy one when they come out as suggested - but as already mentioned...surely after previous years they have some idea of how shirt sales go, I mean isn't that one of the skills of been a successful shop?! It may differ slightly from year to year depending on the design but generally I can't see it changing that much!

Ah well looks like I'm going to have to wait til November...

CH-Sports owns Shinedog, and yes it is Hick's company, both of them.

Yeh i though CH sports was Shinedog, because at last seasons play-off finals my mate said they where selling Shinedog shirts off because it was bein took over.

[nt26ix]

i fort the same aswell. CH is shinedog

[heja]

But i guess it wasn't when we got our shirts designed and ordered then last season?, so it was shinedog last year and not CH sports. as it still had the Shine dog logo on and nothing about CH-sports.

[Bretters]

It was Shindog last season, but then at the end of last season they became CH sports, thats why the Panthers shirts are CH sports this year instead of Shinedog.

Shirts....an eternal struggle!
