Fanatics taking over the club shop in summer?

You use your ears to interpret audible information.

[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.

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?

Definitely the latter 😀

Hope not, they are absolutely hopeless.

Had several issues with the NFL Europe shop ran by them.

when did we have a Romanov era?

I thought that was very strange wording

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

"Romanov era".... think youve blown your cover there

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?

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.

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.

Can any of these fanatics play centre back?

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.

No been a cool Hibs top since AdIdas.

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 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.

And everything will be black despite Hibs playing in green and white.

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.

[hibsfan]

Fanatics has already created a page for Hibs - https://www.kitbag.com/en/scottish-p...-93-2609224334

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

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

Sorry but if the Hibs shop starts selling other clubs stuff we may as well pack it in
