DerbyGoals Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just been looking at some of the training wear on the DCFCMegastore site, and later came across this on twitter from a fellow Derby fan.https://www.umbro.co.uk/item/147/AdultTrainingJerseys/UMBRO-TRAINING-JERSEY.html £14.50http://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/unisex-training-t-shirts_1516-training-jersey_29_0_1281_1.html £30 £15.50 more for the exact jersey but just the Ram badge added on Same with the sweatshirtshttps://www.umbro.co.uk/item/173/AdultSweatsandHoodedTops/UMBRO-TRAINING-FLEECE-SWEAT.html £22 without badgehttp://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/unisex-training-sweatshirts_1516-training-sweat_31_0_1285_1.html £40 with badge https://www.umbro.co.uk/item/215/AdultJackets/UMBRO-TRAINING-WOVEN-JACKET.html £25 without Ramhttp://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/unisex-training-jackets_1516-track-jacket_34_0_1287_1.html £40 with Rametc etc, can find all training wear from club shop on the Umbro site at much cheaper prices but without the badge.Understand they need to make a profit but perhaps a little excessive for just the badge added on?

davenportram Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 its always been like this though, every year you can get it cheaper without the badge. But seeing as the shop is run by a third party its their decision on pricing not the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seeing as the shop is run by a third party its their decision on pricing not the clubs.I think its naive to believe that the club have no sort of sway with the manufacturers of our kit, which is why I'll be making a formal complaint for them letting Umbro create a kit with a transfer emblem rather than a sewn on emblem!

So the club get a set fee from them and possibly a cut of profits but not sure of that. I dont see how much influence the club could have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 In terms of quality yeah, but they have no control on price.I'm not fussed about price, I expect to pay circa £50 for my team's shirt, thats the current market! What I'm berating is the fact they can't even be arsed to have the emblem sewn on rather than transferred on. I want this shirt to last its the nicest weve had in years, I don't want the bleedin ram peeling off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Down the road they've decided to run their own merchandising this season. Apparently they can't afford to buy much stock in because of cash flow and when they do have shirts, you can have any player's name on the back so long as they don't have an A in it, as they've run out!The markup sounds a lot, but if you want club-branded gear you have to pay a premium. I do agree that badges/logos should be sewn/embroidered for that premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 the club sold the tights umbro tights? Where did they stick the Ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 the logo is no t your normal transfer on its rubber, and as its not sewn or embroidered it avoids nipple rub. that problem must be for those who may have let themselves go a bit as it's never a problem I've experienced.cim just disappointed because this kit is the best we've had for so long and yet the logo will peel off long before the thread unravels on the ***** kappa ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for them is al those that have bought one with Antonio Valencia on it will return them so they will get some A's back lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
