i got a long sleeved one and hardly ever wear the damn thing

I still stick to my black away one from 3 seasons ago with the silver writing on the back - just a classic strip that wasnt used enough

I think they are running low on the home strip but still have a good number of the whire and black tops ?

just spoke to the club shop and they are not getting any more in as there's a lead time of 4 months and the new strip comes out in June

apparently the club were left with a lot of stock last season and so lowered their order for this years kit

Always wondered why this is the case, surley the club could be losing out on money and even attracting new fan's by only selling the strip at the club store

[Speedway]

I bet you're wondering why this is as the club is surely losing out on money and attracting more fans to the club.

Well, the answer on both is no.

By having exclusive rights to sell the strip, Hibs can keep their margins high rather than try to compete when Soccer World have it on sale for a fiver.

As for attracting more fans, the club are well aware that they're never going to get significant rack space next to OF tops, even in Edinburgh, hence why the Ocean Terminal concession experiment didn't work out.

Dress it up however you like, the fact is the club miss out on sales of the kit by doing it this way.

Yes but they still sell more and earn more money than they would if they were available in shops all over town, people have to come to the shop and theres a good chance that they will buy something else when they are in.... just my opinion

[cappoquinboy]

The quandry for the club is that there is a minimum order specification for each top and as there is about to be an announcement on a new kit the club may well find themselves "out of pocket" if they were to order additional home kits and then find themselves left with a over supply come April/May, after the new launch is announced.

No win situation for the club I'm afraid.

That's not an opinion, Kevin, that's a fact.

If they didn't change the strip(s) every season then I don't think there would be the same concern of being left with a shed load of stock. There again, I usually buy them within a week of their release so don't tend to have a problem in missing out on them, and I completely agree with the club's theory that it's sometimes better to sell less tops but make more money out of them.

Haven't we tried, and failed, in the past to compete with the kinds of prices that Sports Direct etc charge?
