New Shirt Stocking Issues

[InglebyUTB]

Most of the women’s away sizes sold out, as well as the large men’s away…

 

[Ambie]

How completely pathetic !! - Do they ever, ever learn.

There's full stock on womens away shirts on the MFC site?

Edit: Medium home shirts without sponsor sold out though

** faints with shock **

 

[BoroPhil]

Was going to get the away one as well - ah well!

Getting the sponsorless home one - for which the medium has already sold out too

 

[festa5]

Just goes to show how popular they are. Sold out before they even go on sale. And absolutely zero risk of surplus stock. Or indeed stock of any kind. Which only takes up unnecessary space.

Good work team, nailed it again. High fives all round.

Did they mention when the Blue one comes out?

Obviously so I can spit on it then set it on fire, crimes against fashion and humanity etc.

OR I actually quite like it and will probably buy it.

Was expecting a different punchline. Something along the lines of 'all sizes available, unfortunately. '

We can either be outraged at how $hit the shirts are, or outraged they are out of stock, can't really be both!

For the people wanting the out of stock white kit you can buy an almost identical shirt on the preston north end website and download a print at home mfc iron on badge

I’m tempted for the Blue one too, if I could get it without the sponsor would be tempted to wear it in polite company as well as to the match

And yet DH Gate can constantly have all sizes in stock ?

 

[Marvanelli]

I'd love to know how much this genuinely costs the club.

Now I totally understand the club don't want to have stock left over and end up reducing large amounts of stock at the end of the season to get rid of it, thereby reducing our profit margins.

But this is a regular theme now. We are always selling out our stock. And they aren't cheap in the slightest. I wouldn't be surprised if the mark up on the official replica shirts is one of the highest margins, so to not maximum profits from this area seems very strange.

There has got to be a reason. Surely we can't keep blaming the suppliers?

A couple of years ago - there was loads of stock left at the end of the season - we bought a couple of shirts dead cheap at an end of season sale.

I wonder if the interest does vary a lot.

Also whether different people like different styles.

Loss of sales vs selling at a loss because you have excess stock....

 

[Marvanelli]

Maybe they are going with the scarcity and urgency strategy approach each year because it works?

I know one of my mates is pre-ordering all the shirts in his size, purely because he's scared they'll be sold out soon.

Amazing that "awful" away strip that few people would buy has sold out in large already.

I've begrudgingly bought it for my lad because he likes getting a shirt for his birthday.
That's part of the issue, you're buying a clothing item that looks crap just because of what the item is.

Give a staving man tripe and he’ll wolf it down.. doesn’t make it the national dish.
