Lambies Lost Doo Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Does anyone have an idea on how kit deals work? Sounds like we are changing provider which is a shame as the quality and options were very good. Plus like using independent Glasgow shop like Greaves with a City Centre presence. So is it financial? Who makes the call? etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have posted that the Greaves deal wasn't financially particularly good so The shop at Firhill is going to be overhauled and extended.

Buy at Firhill, club gets more revenue than it would if you had bought at Greaves. But Greaves gets more foot traffic so quantity sold would be higher. Bit of a profit trade off. I would expect any change to be primarily financial given the quality of Greaves’ recent merch. Typically something our operations manager/board would be involved in.

Hope they’ve done the financials properly taking into account Wages costs etc , main concern for me would as you correctly say footfall which would obviously have an impact on Sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifexile Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I'd be int5to know the split between online and in person shopping. Personally I never went into Greaves, living on the east coast it made more sense to shop online for stuff not in the shop at Firhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryza Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I'm going for either Macron based on TJF using them for the tartan top that's due out or Umbro from the labels on the 78-82 retro top out earlier in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 From today's Board update: WrightKerr All Trades will again adorn the front of our jerseys, which will be manufactured and sold by new partners from 1 June. We will make an announcement shortly, but would like to make clear our gratitude to O’Neills and Greaves Sports for their time working with us. Always good to see the new kit and have the who likes it/doesn't like discussion. One of the many things I like about Thistle is that we are not stuck in the "must be hoops" for example thought pattern (since I started supporting we have hoops and stripes). I don't think we have ever had all diagonal top so would not object to something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted Wednesday at 07:31 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:31 AM AI Slop for the announcement isn't a great start, in my book...hopefully the kits are up to standard though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
