Third Lanark Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 When I was in the greaves shop it was interesting to hear that a third kit would be coming out soon. not the Kingsley strip as that will be separate but no clues given to me about the colours or design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it seems to be more and more common now - I think Ayr, Dundee, Morton and Dunfermline all have brought out third strips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1876 Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 My daughter bought my grandson the new goalkeeper top and shorts But no socks any reason why there is no socks for the goalkeeper strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deco City Jag Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Does anyone know how much the club actually makes from the selling of a top? Is the 3rd strip the clubs idea or O'Neills? Do Greaves get a cut? I'm in New Zealand and try and do my bit to support the club where I can with purchase of tops and leisurewear though the Joma range didn't see much cash heading back to Scotland. The O'Neills range has been far better and I've had a few comments in the gym regarding some of the tops from WTF are you wearing to that's smart what is it, though trying to explain Partick Thistle and football in general to a rugby fixated country isn't the easiest.

Everyone will get a 'cut' from the sale of Thistle merchandise. I'm not an expert on retail sales but take a top on sale with Greaves for £50 as an example (figures are simply guesswork). The manufacturer will make and distribute the top for say £30. Add on say £5 paid to Thistle so Greaves would pay £35 giving them £15 per top to cover their costs. I doubt Thistle are going to sell enough merchandise to be able to demand up front payments or big royalties. Added to that, the big kit suppliers (Adidas, Nike, Puma) want to shift huge numbers so won't want to offer bespoke kits to smaller clubs like ours so we tend to go to smaller, niche firms like O'Neills which until recently were only known for making kit for gaelic games in Ireland. I reckon the stuff they produce for Thistle is as good as anything we have had since the Puma days and a far cry from the TTL stuff.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Apart from marketing concerns O'Neils won't give much of a toss, which of their merchandise sells. They'll only really be concerned with Greaves overall purchase of their products. I'd imagine as is normal in wholesale to retail transaction Greaves will set us an over-rider. Put simply we'll be on either a percentage or flat rate for each purchase. If however we exceed a certain monetary/volume target over a certain timescale (usually 12 months) we'd receive a pre-agreed bonus. Either that or less likely a sliding scale of targets, with our percentage profit increasing after reaching each target. What's almost certainly true will be the more Jags merchandise sold over a minimum will result on more favourable profit for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 At the risk of embarrassing myself (again), I thought I'd already posted this, but I can't see it. So, the crux was a project (for whoever might be interested) about all of Thistle's main shirt sponsors: who, when, why, for how long, and any aftermath. No doubt some of those companies continue to thrive, whereas others will have gone to the great accounts department in the sky. Could be entertaining (1st) and informative (2nd?).

Mainly though, I’ve been concentrating on Guiseley (pronounced Guyslee ) and attending their home games in the last few seasons. I think I’ve seen Chorley (love the cakes!) but I’ve definitely seen ‘Stanley’ a good few times. Particular memory is seeing Bradford City v Accrington Stanley, with Thistle ‘great’ Kenny Arthur playing in goal for Stanley. He had a good game too. Love Non-League-it even has its own weekly newspaper and the atmosphere is usually good with exciting games to watch and at a decent skills level. Unfortunately Guiseley were relegated in the final seconds of their final match last season. Hope they can do better in 2022/23, and crowds stay up (average-approx. 700). English Premier League football leaves me cold. Non-League is a far better experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
