Kaizero Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 It would be best getting the Back page, TF, and The Mag on board with the idea aswell. Early days. As I said just checking for the general opinion among the fans themselves before getting serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's decent, like the one I posted or better and all profits went to the SBR foundation then I would buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 now if you're talking a joint collaboration with the SBR foundation, all official like, and maybe his name on the back and a poignant number then average joe might take it up...probably would in fact however a wishy washy shirt made and sold by nobodies (no offence) with no club crest and most people won't touch it This will never go ahead if the SBR Foundation don't want the money. Would have no meaning to the average toon fan otherwise, and wouldn't be able to shift out enough shirts to earn in the initial investment. No offence taken, anyone doing it regardless of not giving the earnings to a great charity would be mental. This thread is just to see if there'd be any interest whatsoever in such a shirt, would be an absolutely shit thing to do talking to the foundation about something like this without even knowing if fans would get it. yeah we're talking the same thing here - if the shirt is smart as fuck and has SBR foundation plastered on it and his name on the back etc... then i think it'd sell like hot cakes if it's a smart shirt but has no SBR foundation stuff on it but maybe only a loose "association or endorsement" tag from them then i think people would see it as the equivalent of buying a cheap fake shirt on holiday Yeah, this won't happen if the SBR foundation wouldn't be interested in it.

Stifler Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Probably a good idea to email the foundation about your plans, just ask them for permission to use their logo on the shirt and say that all profits will go to the foundation, I doubt they would turn down the idea. Also try to put in how it's something to do with it being around the 1st year anniversary and you want to keep the foundation in peoples minds so it doesn't start to see a slump in donations.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'd rather donate the £20 directly to the SBR foundation & have them receive 100% of it than buy a shirt where they'll get far less than that. Copying the self-absorbed scousers would be a new low as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copying the self-absorbed scousers would be a new low as well. The idea of this comes from the fact that the current shirt is not generally good looking, and also that it's the most expensive one in a while. This would give you a better looking shirt at the same time as supporting the SBR Foundation, rather than buying a £45 shirt and nothing going to the SBR Foundation.

Disco Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 It'd have to be decent quality like as in not fall apart straight away in the wash and it's potentially a good idea if the SBRF were on board. Anyone know anyone that sources manufactured goods from China? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I think using a British manufacturing company is part of the reason to buy one tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Viga offers a complete package for this sort of thing though. And they're also quality and feel like a football shirt should do, not to mention they don't fall apart in the wash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a bit of a silly idea to me. Not to the extent that James has silly ideas obviously, but silly all the same. I got enraged with the new kit design and started looking at prices to create my own NUFC kit. That was a silly idea. This is a canny idea. May not get anywhere, but worth a thought.
