Love the idea, love the concept, some great designs, just dont like the colour sorry.

I know City are Blue and White but in my opinion there is just to much White going on which makes them look like cheap white t-shirts with a print on them so I can see where Nukes is coming from with his £17 is steep.

For example, you can get this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003TWKWPY/r ... nkCode=asn

for £9.99 in some places.

Id love to see what they would look like as blue t-shirts with a print on which Im sure you have already got in the pipeline.

Good Luck fella.


Appreciate you saying that mate and the white colours are something I was definately conscious of. The reason why I chose white to start of with - is because when we started experimenting with different inks and styles - the designs never looked good with light coloured inks on dark shirts, they almost looked like photographic negatives and the crisp white shirt with the blue print made the designs look alot better.

Your definately right that more colours are needed though and I'll definately have to do shirts like you suggested soon. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

As for the pricing, the price of the T-Shirt you put up is a Fruit of the Loom T-Shirt and a lot cheaper to buy than the higher quality T-Shirts I use. I'd be selling at a loss if they were to sell for £9.99.

I promise they aren't cheap white T-Shirts they are a nice fit and good quality - I spent alot of time sourcing the right ones to use. If they look ropey in any of the pictures it's probably more down to my dodgy photography skills! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks again for the feedback mate - I do appreciate it!


Ah right, I see with regards to the T-Shirts mate and the difference in the quality ie, the fruit of the loom ones.

Im glad you took my comments as they were intended mate, I realy love what you have done, I take my hat off to you fair play.

Ill email your site around my office tomorow, plenty of Cardiff Fans on my internal and external list

I was impressed when you first put your images on here, even more so now!

The website is great and I still think the products are fantastic.

As I have said previously, once your business grows and you start producing ladies t-shirts, I'll be making a purchase!

Godd luck with it all :ayatollah:

Designs are great I agree about the colours though, I wouldn't buy a white t-shirt as just not my style - if they were blue I can promise you I'll buying a couple. Not much info on sizing though? I often have to go for xxl these days as t-shirts have become more tight fitting, and me fatter. Will keep an eye on the site. Note what previous poster said about 12th man clothing from Italy - I thought that when I saw your site as well, they market a lot in the uk.

Nice one Claire, my missus really wants me to start producing ladieswear. My wholesaler actually specialises in Ladieswear, they only do Menswear on the side - some of the clothes for ladies are really smart! Can't wait to get into that.

Very good website, easy to get about etc etc and nice T-Shirts but tend to agree, personally I would say they are a little expensive. All the best with it tho :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: Cardiff City Clothing - Available Now

Thu Aug 04, 2011 3:50 pm

really impressed but the tees mate
is medium the smallest you do?

to extend whats been said already
different colour schemes once you starts shifting these white ones will be quality
for example

Black tees, yellow design
yellow tees, blue design
blue tees, yellow design
blue tees, white design

i still think you should produce my avatar image on these tees! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Hia mate, is the bluebird on the shoulder of the Robin Friday one that big, or is it the same size as the one on the other disigns??

Cheers mate, glad you like the designs. I am in the process of getting some different coloured styles in at the moment, hopefully they will go down well!

As for sizing we have this chart:

http://www.12thmanclothing.com/en/content/20-size-guide

The T-Shirts aren't tight fitting - but they're definately not a regular fit either. More somewhere in the middle. So an XXL would be a safe bet - as the XXL's aren't that big, I will be getting them in stock next week.

Thanks a lot for your interest mate.

Nice one mate, love your idea and think it could look really good if done in the right way! Medium is the smallest we do at the moment but will hopefully be doing size small in the next few weeks.

Hi mate, thanks a lot for your interest! There are different sized Bluebirds on most of the T-Shirtsand the Bluebird on the Robin Friday T-Shirt doesn't appear on anything else.

The larger Bluebird is positioned to fit snugly in the left shoulder area of the T-Shirt. and is around 8cm wide by 7cm high.

Initially I wasn't going to add that size of Bluebird to the shoulder - but it really sets the T-Shirt off when you see it in the flesh!

I love that idea mate and definately want to use Ninian Park alot more in future designs. The floodlight T-Shirt I sell is my personal favourite.

I'm not sure about the " No One Likes Us, We Dont Care" slogan as this might not sell because of the Millwall connection.

How would you feel about a T-Shirt with the slogan "WE ARE EVIL"? As it's more relevant to our history...

I was thinking of placing it above the roof of the old Bob Bank [the bob bank would be black] and and have CARDIFF in the seats coloured in Blue.

All the same thank you, as I think you have a great idea - let me know what you think.

An Eddie May top would be class. It was the side I also grew up supporting. The Legends T-Shirts aren't selling too well at the moment compared to the others so I think they definately need some life injected into them!

Good idea mate.
