Frankie 8,200 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 An interesting image from FF posted there last night from circa 2003: Clearly, that is ten years ago and I'd certainly expect MIH's figures to be massaged somewhat so perhaps 360,000 is a bit high. However, even if you half that figure then we're still selling as many strips as Celtic now. As mentioned previously, Cl participation may affect sales on a like-for-like basis but, even then, I'm not convinced either club will massively outstrip the other in terms of shirt sales. One thing is for sure, both JJB and Sports Direct wouldn't be sniffing around and paying out millions for a laugh. And, again, neither would any club accept a joint-sponsorship if one or the other was selling much more products. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) cheers frankie. as i say we out sold them every year until they stopped giving figures. i see little reason to believe we dont still do that or they would be crowing again. we were also 4th for retail operations at one point as well behind iirc man uts barca real madrid and juve.

I tend to agree that we would outsell them in the UK, but we just do not have a presence internationally. Walk into any Nike store around the world and you will find their jerseys hanging next to Man U, Arsenal and Barca. I have never seen an Umbro (or Warrior, Macron or any other brand rumoured to be linked to manufacturing our kit) store anywhere that I have travelled. (Apologies, I have seen Puma stores, but not with any football gear for sale). All the more reason for going with a brand that has a worldwide footprint such as Adidas or Nike. At least in that way, we are linked by association with Real, Chelsea, Man City etc. Edited February 27, 2013 by Davie P addition 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
