You really are a wind up merchant Arky!!!

In all seriousness, my view on the selection of a new away kit is as follows:

A board member, Arky, Jim, a player and a society member should get together and draw up a shortlist (maybe 3-5) of kits that they would recommend and are readily obtainable to the society. There should then be a society vote and the winning kit adopted. Surely that would keep even Ma..... sorry LS happy!


umm... but you would need to be a member to be able to vote, and there are lots of supporters who are not, so you have now excluded them!!!!

Even members can't vote if they don't know what the process is!

The last one is not bad,but a bit too 'spurs' in style.So no chance of Arky chosing that design.The other one looks like a bloody Barnet kit.

Anyway,i thought we were trying to get away from black shorts and socks.


Shame we can't have the Spurs third kit, Chocolate & Gold. Wonderful.

No stripes or quaters please.


How about something like this.A nice dark blue.At £11 each.Arky could make quite a profit selling them for £30 a pop.

As I've tried to explain to you before, we need completely different colours to our home kit so we can have double the range of merchandise & make more money for the club.
Can't see us being allowed to wear that kit as it's too near to the ref's colours.
However if it was British Racing Green with a Lime Green band, that would be wonderful.


1.That kit would be probably be perfectly acceptable with referees as it is, and certainly with white or white/blue socks.(otherwise why would they sell it?)

2.Regarding merchandise.You could still sell the little car kits,Replica shirts etc.The only merchandise you would lose out on is a few mugs,pennants, and the odd away scarf.Hardly big sellers.Probably grossing less that £200 between them.A sum that would be more than made up for in increased sales of a good looking dark blue away shirt (would go great with jeans by the way).And more importantly it LOOKS like the sort of shirt Enfield Town should be wearing.

Green with lime stripe?? Do me a favour! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bounce.gif" alt="" />


Spend a lot of time selling things for the Town then do you?.


No. your the expert at that.How much money do you estimate you have taken in selling red and black items such as mugs/badges..etc

I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of 'away colours' profit comes from replica shirts (and maybe car kits).Both of which would be unaffected by having a dark blue away kit.


About 2K so far, the split would actually be approx 50% on badges, 40% Shirts, 10% Sundries.


Lets get this clear, you made a £1000 last season selling red and black badges <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Compared to just £800 selling red and black replica shirts.Plus you made very little on any other red/black merchadise.

That does seem a very strange breakdown.

I would rather say thank you for raising the money that has gone towards running our team than questioning if we really need to have made it butthen I can be old fashioned in wanting to support an individual club.

What are you on about Brunob????

We all realise the contribution Arky makes to help fund the club and the work he and his team put in.

The subject we are discussing is how much money (if any) would be lost in club shop revenue if Town had a blue away kit,rather than some other colour.Thats all.


I think that we should retain the red/black kit for at least another season or all the red/black items would be worthless and lose all the money tied up in it.

A blue kit would wipe out all choices of alternatives when it comes to money raising. Why do yo think that all other clubs have an away strip of totaly diferent colours to their first choice strip?

I want my team to have it's own identity and not just follow others.

We sell badges to away fans/collectors in their droves. Shirts only to Town supporters.
Plus I did point out that the figures were approx, not definitive.
But I did forget all the polo's/caps/ski hats we sold as well, so would need to knock some off Badge/Shirts & add it to sundries.

Chez Townies is fine. It's just Planet Lovely Stuff that is having the occasional storm. The rest of us are just storm-chasers <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Got your League Cup rules sorted out this year?
