To all forum members, bearing in mind, not only am I Goalkeeping Coach at the club, but an Altrincham FC supporter. The reason for considering such a radical change in the home shirt was the poor sales of replicas through the club shop this season. This is important income stream for the club.That may be down to the shirt, but I see 4 or 5 different red/white striped shirts at home games, which led us to think about a change in design. Regarding using my own brand, that is because, although I have access to all main brands (including Nike, Prostar, etc), the volume of pre-ordered replica shirts required from these companies is far in excess of sales of shirts in recent seasons. I can supply a single shirt if required in 3 or 4 days. And beyond that, my other items of merchandise have sold quite well, and if someone needs a polo urgently for example, I am usually able to supply within days. At weekend, I hope to have a couple of other options from my range available to view, the Yellow/Blue RIO and Red/Black ITALIA. I hope this explains the options released yesterday. I'm always free to discuss these options on match days.
