bringonthesevco Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 500 tops at £50 , say £5 a top profit will raise is the grand sum of £2500 . surely with everything going on at the club we have better / bigger things to be focusing on !

A small profit, but a profit. And perhaps it is a teaser. If they get snapped up, we would be mad not to release more. If I am in time, I will order one. Not because it is limited edition, but because it is lovely. As far as I am concerned, they can release as many as people want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If I still played 5's I'd get one. Sadly I have no use for a football top. The silver one might tempt me tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldChampions1902 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If this shirt is as popular as many posters on various threads have been suggesting, I reckon the 500 tops will sell-out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine so, they will have a deal in place with Umbro as well to get the second batch produced at a lower rate or at bare minimum the same rate as the first as long as we decide within a certain timeframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Iconic seems to be out PR/ marketing people's favourite word. A forty year old shirt design associated with no great football achievements (rather the opposite). Iconic? Jubilee? Overlapping with our ongoing celebration of an actual great achievement (iconic event in Hearts PR speak) 10 years later it seems a bit OTT to me. For as someone has said for £2500 or so. I think the teaser approach to marketing is also a bit tacky and certainly overdone . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you are entirely wrong, but even by my standards, as a frequent defender of you, this is a little depressing, even if factually correct. Cannot speak for others, but I will order one because I like it. I actually prefer it to the current top. It it is one frequently harked back to on here, so if this has been identified and raises a few quid, then all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the logic criticising a 'modest' £2500 profit on a single item that will literally fly off the shelves? I bet our Retail manager wishes the shop could return this sort of margin on every line in the shop in such a short space of time. That stand would soon be fully paid for if that were the case.

Ask any successful businessman if they think a product which is pretty much guaranteed to make any profit and also be popular with your client base is a waste of time. I think 100% would disagree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first ever Hearts kit and it reminds me of Busby, Bannon, Gibson, Prentice, Jefferies, Zico etc ...... Also reminds me of the Airdrie game when the Incredible Hulk, Frank Liddell scored the winner to clinch the First Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even said you are factually correct. Personally though, I am not buying it for nostalgia reasons though. I was only about two or three years olds I know it was a crap season though. Despite that, I love the top, and the old badge. That is why I am buying this. I agree, though, that nostalgia only goes so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
