I'm irrationally annoyed at Arsenal being considered elite in their eyes, like. In achievement terms they don't hold a candle to the other sides there.

I'd imagine others will be raging when we join the eilte crew.

Elite status has everything to do with how much merchandise you are able to sell. Roma are going to be joining the elite status next season, and they are hardly winning major trophies. I also think Benfica are joining, and they have a huge following in Latin America, but have went off the boil over the last few years.

Ajax are rumoured to join the season after next, and obviously they are the default Dutch team, and like Benfica, have went off the boil in recent years.

 

Without revealing the figures, the club has said that we have had a record breaking year for shirt sales. Castore increased our options on tracksuits and other merchandise, but this year’s Adidas stuff has taken it to another level.

With our Adidas deal rumoured to be about £40m, that would mean that we have to sell half a million shirts at £80 just to directly break even.

I think it was in an interview with one of the board members. I can’t find the link, but they said it was a record kit launch for us, and that’s literally all they said. No facts, figures, or any other indication.

Well Villa are going elite next season (and getting trefoil 3rd kit) so can’t imagine we won’t too, if we’re not already. Don’t know if having the trefoil on the retro stuff counts as elite.

Just seen a snide version of the originals shirt in short sleeve.  Loses it's mojo imo.


Aye, seen someone selling those on a FB group, clearly a DaveyGate (or simialr) special.

That would be very well received if they made it officially, I'm sure it would sell a lot. You could wear that year after year. 

But there's no new stuff in the new shop at all in the run up to Christmas. The only Originals stuff left is in 3XL. Surely they could have arranged for new stock of that for Xmas?

I can't help feeling they've missed a revenue opportunity there.
