Fanatics taking over the club shop in summer?

[Henderson2Del]

Has anyone heard this?

[tamig]

Has anyone heard this?

As long as they’re not hertz or hun fanatics.

[TamHibs]

I got a notification from FanHub for this weeks 5 game prediction. Usually it’s just English games but this alert said “we’ve added Hibs v Celtic, wonder why? Check our socials tomorrow”

So very likely by the sounds of it.

I have been told that the current deal is up and Hibs are moving to having the business branded Fanatics as the new retail partner and I was wondering if anyone else has heard anything.

What is Fanatics?

I was in the store on Monday and pretty much everything but this years kit was in the sale, so they may well be clearing the decks.

Hope this doesn’t mean the guys in there losing their jobs, hella nice folk.

Fanatics is a brand that have the rights to sell nhl, mlb and other us sports brands.

They also sell psg etc..

It seems to me like a good thing and a big deal.

That would be an interesting deal. I’ve always thought the vast majority of stuff in the Hibs shop is pretty ***** really. If they combine the good Hibs stuff with other stuff that people will actually buy it seems like a good idea. Only thing that maybe doesn’t sit right with me is the thought of a young kid going in for a Hibs strip but coming away with a PSG one instead. In practice that’ll probably never happen though so not one that I should be too concerned about.

Should we not be trying to keep it in house? Surely more money doing this? I’m starting to get annoyed at all of this unless I’m taking it in wrong but the catering is done out house and now this to? Are we only in control of ticket sales at our club?

We tried to bring it back in-house. Not sure how long the contract is for?
Benefits are higher margin on shirt sales etc, but will have to pick up the staff/shop costs

[Paulie Walnuts]

So what’s usually the script with this sort of thing? Presumably it doesn’t become a Fanatics shop selling strips from loads of other teams?

No idea how long the contracts for but I just think it seems lazy by the club once less thing to worry about. Surely we should be running out club like Celtic easily the best run club in Scotland keeping things in house. If it was better to outsource surely they would be doing it

[SteveHFC]

Wonder who’s replacing Joma.

[PatHead]

Maybe we will be able to buy the new Bournemouth top.😁

[Pretty Boy]

So what’s usually the script with this sort of thing? Presumably it doesn’t become a Fanatics shop selling strips from loads of other teams?

I don't think it will be all that different from before. The shop has been contracted out previously.

Will likely be some fresh merchandise in and a revamp of the branding but if you look at Fanatics Celtic stuff it's not that different from the hoodies, T shirts etc we have in the store currently.

[Smartie]

Is it just me or have the current regime not taken a lot of the stuff back in house since the Petrie regime to “do it properly and increase revenue” then ended up going “**** it” and just ended up punting big chunks of it back out to externals to do on our behalf again?

[JKeatings]

So what’s usually the script with this sort of thing? Presumably it doesn’t become a Fanatics shop selling strips from loads of other teams?

No we get a set fee for them to sell all Hibs merchandise in the shop, ex amount of money over so many years, great for working out your budget but your budget will generally always be smaller due to it

100% they done it during Romanov era and have brought everything back in house since to generate more money, extra work but all cash made is yours. This shower are at it. Never post often but starting to get annoyed at everything recently

That’s what I presumed. Just wasn’t sure after Bingo had suggested someone could come out with a PSG strip :greengrin

[BH Hibs]

They’re also called Kitbag online in the UK. What it might mean is Hibs gear may be more available to a wider market. For instance fans of other teams may stumble across a Hibs shirt when they are browsing the site. It shouldn’t make much of a difference to the actual Hibs store as clubs in England for example Everton have Everton direct and Kitbag/Fanatics but when you go online the websites use the same layout and fonts etc.

Yes. Noticed QPR on the fanatics website, exposure to a huge market they couldn't have possibly reached otherwise.
Might not pull in much more for say QPR but an American of Irish decent browsing fanatics is sure going to notice Hibernian in amongst PSG and Real Madrid.
Soccer shirts are now a really big seller in America. Jets, Eagles or even Boston Celtics fans might like a cool looking 'Hibs' top.

[Stairway 2 7]

Fanatics run Man U, Everton, Villa, Brentford, Wrexham, Ac Milan, Juve, most of the USA baseball teams shops or websites. They are obviously trusted by the biggest clubs. I wouldn't presume to say if its good or not

[Centre Hawf]

It's easy to get annoyed at things about Hibs at the moment but honestly I don't think it'll change anything for us regular fans on a day to day basis.

You can probably still go in store or online and buy a top in the summer or some stocking fillers at Christmas just as you can now. If the new deal it means we're linked up to a wider scheme to sell merchandise across the globe on different websites then why not? Always found it quite odd how exclusive and insular Scottish football is on the merchandise front.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

With all the chat of new hospitality I the FF and the current shop being earmarked to be part of that... just where will a new shop be?

[Wilson]

Are you an Audiologist or a smart arse?

Provan Sports have had the licence for years…and returned a percentage of revenue to Hibs….so it isn’t being done ‘in house’ now.

Seems to me nothing other than a change of licence holder

[ScottB]

It’s maybe not likely to make a massive difference, but given we’re now part of a multi club / multi sport group, our merch being available more easily beyond those within travelling distance of the stadium isn’t that bad a shout.

Obviously there’s the already existing international Hibees, in addition to any Vegas ice hockey fans that like the colour green…

[Langlee Hibs]

Always thought it was fairly narrow minded that you could only buy Hibs merch either in the shop or online. This could open things up to a much bigger audience.

[Centre Hawf]

Same goes for every other club in Scotland. I can't remember the last time I ever came across something that wasn't the old firm or a vintage resale jersey on a sports merch website.

[hibsforeurope]

I don't think this will be a bad thing, it might increase the range we offer, other clubs always seem to offer a much wider range of products from the kit manufacturer than we do.

I wouldn't want shirts of other clubs widely available in out shop but maybe some merch from clubs in the BK group may be interesting to see. if it brought in footfall i wouldn't be against having a small range of NFL, NBA etc teams merch in the shop, as long as HFC was the predominant brand visible.

Having said that it's not clear where the shop will be going, perhaps the current ticket office is an option given the recent survey questions about the TO.

I hope not, maybe the clubshop will be kept as it is and we move all our online orders to Fanatics?

I'm sure you can pay in instalments on Fanatics also which helps people like myself who like to pay things in 3 months.

Looking forward to the “Ultra-fanatics” shop that turn up and just put all their merchandise on your rails and shelves, even if yours was there first.

When I was in the shop just before Christmas I overheard the guy who does name/number printing saying to another customer that “something big is happening soon” in reply to her asking why there wasn’t as much stock as usual.

Hopefully just their standard ‘filler’ items that we are seeing so far as they look awful. Need to get Adidas gear on there.

[Ronniekirk]

Maybe we will be able to buy the new Bournemouth top.😁
When I go into the hibs shop which isn’t that often these days it’s to buy hibs stuff I don’t particularly want anyone else stuff , but if this is the way forward will go in and see what’s on offer

I’ve not checked to see if it’s the same people moaning about the same things but I always laugh when people want us to compete and with our rivals, sign the best players we can but complain about every way we try to make money. If doing this deal with Fanatics makes us more money than what we currently do then we should do it, I’m looking forward to seeing what other options, if any, it brings to the club shop.

The deal with Fanatics is lucrative for the club - i guess in the same way that Hibs receive money for outsourcing the hospitality, they’ll earn money from the shop as well.

[DH1875]

JD sports are a sponsor of Real Valladolid. Never seen one of their shirts in any UK store I've been in. Don't even think you can buy their shirts online at JD. Pitty as their away shirt last season was a thing of beauty and thus seasons is not to bad either.

Point being, just because Fanatics are taking the shop over doesn't mean we are all of a sudden going to have a load of other teams stuff in it as well. The move online does seem a bit random but they do have a couple of other random teams on their site so seems a good deal to me.

[Jones28]

Is it seriously being suggested we would stock other clubs shirts in the shop?

Why on earth would we?

No I'm not sure where it came from or why it keeps being said. Do Man U, Villa, Everton and Wrexham have other clubs strips in their shop as they are fanatics run too

Saying that I'd have Vegas tops on sale if the did likewise with us. Think it would be a one way street with a few septics that say they are part Irish/Scotch

[ShadesLongThrow]

That stuff wouldn't have been out of place at Ingliston market.

[Jones28]

We won't.

Of course we won’t, it’s mental to even think that will be the case.

[ShetlandHibby]

Excuse my ignorance but can someone explain how this will benefit us? If we’re outsourcing our merchandise to a 3rd party then I assume they’ll be taking a decent cut of our profit. I don’t see how much we can expand our range or who we sell to. Most of our business will be supporters in and around edinburgh. It’s not like we’re Man Utd or barca where we sell strips all around the world. I just don’t see what the benefit is to us. Maybe I’m missing something as I’ve not read the full details of the agreement

[Keith_M]

At the 1860 club shop in Munich town centre, they had one section where you could buy souvenirs (cups, plates, badges, etc) of all the other German clubs. Well, all except one ;-)


Should Hibs maybe do something similar?

Fanatics is a massive global company. I have been buying American sports merch for years. Cross pollination of sales. Sell a Chicago Bears shirt to some guy in Michigan and he may well browse the fanatics site and chuck in a green Hibs jersey because it looks bloody cool and it’s St Patrick’s day soon.

That’s where I think the money is. Growing our market, not just a small portion of Edinburgh based punters.

Yeah, that's just not going to happen. Think about the average sports fans spending habits. They don't go purchasing random teams they have 0 connection to sportswear. Unless they happen to be visiting the city they are located in or the club is already massive.

Fantatics will take care of running the club shop which will save Hibs on staff costs and bring in some lease money. Fanatics will take their cut of any sales, much like it has been for a while now.

Don't know about the average fan, but some fans certainly do exactly that. I have a drawer or two full of football tops from random teams, none of them 'massive', largely bought because I liked the colours/design. And on the Fanatics front, despite zero interest in NFL, I have a Jacksonville Jaguars hoodie – again because I liked the colours and the logo.

I'm probably an outlier, but I do exist.

What Random teams any that would be Hibs/SPFL level?
The NFL is a multibillion $ industry so team sales from that I'd put on par with your Man U and Real Madrid shirt sales.

I had a look at the Fanatics US website and it's really only focusing on the top top teams from the top leagues. Not even half of the Premiership.

This arrangement isn't going to suddenly take our merchandise sales to the next level internationally.

It might hopefully offer some nicer looking options for the regular Hibee though.

[nonshinyfinish]

What Random teams any that would be Hibs/SPFL level?

Yeah, plenty that are Scottish Prem level or lower e.g. Bohemians, Tranmere, Bristol City, Santiago Wanderers (I may be doing the Chilean league a disservice here, don't know).

[Eyrie]

Santiago Wanderers are the oldest club in Chile, play in green and white, and are the working class team in their local rivalry with posh Everton. According to Wikipedia anyway.
Anyways, that's me sold, where can I buy their kit?

I have one of their strips, swapped it with a local in a pub in Valparaíso last year for our black/mint away kit!

The Jaguars aren't exactly NFL royalty either.

They do own fulham and aew though.

[GreenGray]

The more you read into this company the worse it gets. Their reputation isn’t great in America and they received criticism for the MLB jerseys that they produced.

Plus you’d imagine that due to this agreement we will be unable to get our shirts into JD shops like our neighbours.

Dunno, just seems like a weird deal to make.

Technically the owners of the Jaguars also own Fulham and AEW, rather than the Jaguars owning them



The second largest shareholders in the Chicago Bears (Ryan family) are a large part of the Black Knights group :greengrin

I was down in Liverpool at the weekend and popped into the Everton store in the city centre. Both clubs have their stores side by side each other, not clear if that’s a coincidence or on purpose but thought it worked quite well and wouldn’t be a bad idea having a similar set up in Edinburgh, but that’s another matter. I noticed the fanatics branding dotted around the shop, didn’t know Everton were also in a deal with them. Can’t say I was massively impressed with what was on offer, especially given the (arguably) global appeal. No new kits released yet so suppose that wouldn’t help right enough.

Is it me getting old or is £30 for a t-shirt taking liberties? :rolleyes:

If it’s quality then that s a reasonable price I buy Levi T shirts as they last longer after being washed compared to cheaper brands

Do they really not accept cash??

Does anyone know why the club store no longer sells gift cards or vouchers? I was in the other day and asked for a couple and was told they no longer sell them.

I know gift cards and vouchers are maybe a bit dated but it still seems a bit of a bizarre decision. I asked if they were going to accept Fanatics gift cards going forward and was told they didn't know.

Not selling in sports shops was a club decision a while ago was it not? Nothing to do with who was/is running the club store

They should be at least bringing back those pop up stores during the summer and winter periods when tourism is high no idea if that’s in the works or not but should be in princess st and the airport at the very least

It is a bit disappointing and short sighted that our Marketing guys haven't got a pop up shop in Princes Street during high tourism times. Loads of opportunities in Princes St and St James Quarter. Footfall must be huge this time of year

Did you notice the name of the Everton store?
They are both located in the Liverpool One complex. Everton named their store Everton Two 😂

Hearts had a pop up store in St James a few times.

Even the pob up store we had at the gyle before would be fine.

[WeAreHibs]

Will the store be open tomorrow. No hours on store website.

A little optimistic surely?

Or perhaps the marketing team done a bit of research and decided that a pop up shop wasnt viable

Used to work on the Royal Mile as a kilt fitter back in the day. Tourists absolutely love Scotland, cashmere, kilts and whisky etc. I genuinely think if we'd sold Hibs shirts, at full price, they'd easily have been one of the lowest selling items.

Obviously I follow football (Hibs) but when I go abroad the last thing I think about buying is another football clubs top, especially at the price they go for these days.

Whisky.

Whisky.

No idea what you mean :wink:

[Northernhibee]

Basically the old club shop with the tills moved, less variety, less gifty things, and less choice.

[Carheenlea]

Certainly doesn’t appear to be as much merchandise as before - more replica kit based with fewer leisure items.

Left empty handed tonight. Not much choice for the over 30’s.

New management have got off to a great start - elected to purchase a scarf online instead of heading to the club shop thinking it wouldn't take too long; over a week later my parcel has arrived empty! Thankfully customer service have issued a replacement no questions asked.

[Hibees1973]

Very little stuff to buy with any kind of nostalgia attached.

Saw a Kensell branded sun tan oil & aftersun, though. BOGOF
