Latics_Fanatic Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) On the day the the new pink kit was revealed i decided to emial Alan Hardy with my thoughts about the kit not being made inot a replica i got this email back ... Alex Thanks for the email. We are auctioning the player’s kit off after the game but at this stage had not considered doing a small run of replicas. It looks like it is something we need to consider doing in view of the interest from fans. Alan Looks like we might get some replicas made!

futchers briefs Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Er, you're buying a match worn and autographed shirt for that price. For that price i'd want the club!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetramfixer Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 You'd be paying for a match worn shirt though ... not just a replica thats how i would look at it too!! if you look at the shirt that gregan has on, it has been embroidered with the 'occasion' so unless the makers can only do the others like that, then the shirts they sell in the shop won't be the same..... aside from the numbers/league badges etc!! think back to the white ones that were worn against west ham and later on at palace.... how may would want a replica of those???

Latics_Fanatic Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think all the special shirts that have been auctioned off in the past haven't been for charity, so if they did make these replicas it would go along way to raising more money. Oh and By The Way Huddersfield 1 - 0 Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec1954 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Can't help but think that the club have been a bit commercially naive considering that there may not be a demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Latics don't do female tailored kits though do they? England shirts are available in that form. GF would buy a Latics shirt if they were in the same style (though she does have a signed David Eyres shirt that she wears). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddogs Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 be honest if the club do produce it would you buy it,i would, i think it's better than the fluo yellow kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If we beat Leeds in it we should have more made up so we can wear them in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunteruk Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 be honest if the club do produce it would you buy it,i would, i think it's better than the fluo yellow kit. think its a good marketing ploy for female fans,they have defo missed a trick here by not having many things in the club shop aimed at women. maybe they could do a small run of them,and donate ex amount from each shirt sold to the charity.

OldhamSheridan Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yep i'd buy one for the wife as well. I'd buy one for my wife. She'd love that. "Hi honey it's your birthday, here's what I got you". It would take dozens of breakfasts in bed to make up for that. Shortcut to the divorce courts. Alas, I'm not married though.

Lags Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The pink replica's should go down well with the female fans whilst the match worn comes down to price. So not voted on this poll as too much mitigating factors for a simplistic vote for me sorry. Plus this poll could influence club policy in having a replica run ordered.

pukka Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 First thing I said is "I'd buy one". I would definately buy one. Money to a good cause as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mrs. Sideburns makes the point that the pink shirts would appeal to females, but would be even more appealing if they were shaped for women. The South African Football Association concur with her. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/4332715.stm The problem for the Club would be to know how many of the women's shirts to stock to make production viable. Perhaps advance orders, including a deposit, could be taken before a final decision was made on whether to have both ordinary and women's shirts.

BigFatBuffalo Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'd possibly buy the pink replica, but that would become definitely if it was the woman's style. Can see it would probably not be viable for the club to do so though, as previously said how many would they order to know they would def sell.

OldhamSheridan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) What price will the shirts go for (ish)? Taylors for instance? Just so I know as it is (or maybe) coming out of my 'England playing in the World Cup Final fund'. Edit: 'Maybe' as I may win the shirt. i'm off to Brazil no matter what. Well unless it gets taken off them for ineptness which is a possibility. Edited February 15, 2009 by OldhamSheridan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
