Worst selling shirt in the Premier League 2013-14

was posted about 3wks ago that city had very poor sales of merchandise only thing new is being worst sales in premier (if true)

I have seen the shirts sold around South Wales in sports shops. It doesn't need to be advertised if you want one you get one. I don't see any other teams kits advertised.
But hell I'm loving that statistics that it is the worst selling shirt ever. But will the arse lickers in the club keep Tan from the facts ?

Let's see how many of the CCST tops sell. That will answer the question about how much merchandise Cardiff fans buy once and for all. Hopefully top 10k in first month

Sports Direct are selling the red and yellow shirts for £20 each and even then I wouldn't buy one. Tbh I wouldn't even buy the blue one either as I don't recognise the badge as our team badge. I still wear one of our old but real shirts still when I go to games. Bet Tan must be kicking himself over this, surely he's not that stupid to realise that the 'rebrand' was a blatant flop. Wonder how many shirts we sold over in 'Asia' seen as Tan wanted to rebrand us to make us more marketable over there?

How many did we sell in the Asian market ?

Great to hear

It's a non story really, because I've not seen any shirts on sale elsewhere other than the club shop and a few independent shops. So this 'major retailer' haven't had their fingers burnt at all. Puma are the ones who have missed out due to the re-brand with lesser shirt sales than expected. But to be honest, Cardiff fans aren't really ones for buying replica shirts.

sports direct have been selling our shirts!

Barely though, you don't see them paraded on show, so how can anyone say the major retailers have had their fingers burnt if they don't advertise the products? It's their own fault if they don't advertise the products. Not to mention we have a club shop in Queens Arcade as well where people can buy things. I didn't see our shirt on the Sports Direct website either, so this story really is a non story. Our debut season and we have had to compete with the ongoing support of the bigger teams. As mentioned, we are not a city/team that buys many replica shirts, whereas fans of the biggest clubs who support their teams in their armchair will be more entitled to buy a replica shirt since they don't go to as many games as a fan of Cardiff who would rather spend their money going to games.

Not to mention if Sports Direct is the major retailer then they don't sell ALL Premier League shirts so again the headline is semi-incorrect.

I'm not denying that our shirt is probably OUR worst-selling shirt in the club's history but it's clutching at straws really. We should only really care of the sales from our own club as again we aren't a club who prides ourselves in replica shirts and we are a club that likes to remain exclusive on selling our own merchandise

worse selling in the clubs history?
we havent always sold replica tops......so not even close

i think STATISTIC is something fact based........which this is not....more a case of you LOVE any rubbish spouted if its anti tan..........

Won't believe it until we have a source for the original 'article'.

it might be last seasons least bought shirt in the EPL...might
its deffo not the least sold in our history.............
and unlikely the least sold in EPL history......Wimbledon spent 7 years in the prem with a tiny fan base.........

Not a huge surprise lets be honest.

it might be last seasons least bought shirt in the EPL...might

I can't imagine any club selling less than ours.

its deffo not the least sold in our history.............

would you like to back that up with any sort of evidence? Or is this just your own opinion? I think it may well be the least sold in our history (when replica kits have actually been sold...)

and unlikely the least sold in EPL history......Wimbledon spent 7 years in the prem with a tiny fan base.........

with a fans base that actually wanted that shirt and was proud to wear that shirt. Didn't see many red home shirts at all last year.... Thankfully.

our club have not always sold relica shirts..its relatively a new thing.............is it just my opinion that clubs didnt used to sell relica kits?.........i dont post opinion as fact...i leave that to people who imagine club finances and player values......but.....even since the start of selling replica kits.. there were years where we were both poorly supported 3,000 and poor on the park........the club shop amounted to a 6ft square hole underneath the canton........and shitys unavailable for large parts of the season............i would eat 2 of your turds if this year is the record low........real turds not biscuit ones bought from a west wales bakery

No facts then... You said it definitely wasn't our least purchased shirt, now is that a fact? Or just your opinion dressed up as a fact?

This wasn't even the topic being debated in the OP... What a bizarre response.

i think the fact that the club DIDNT used to sell relica kits..... means it not being a record is a fact...........
FACT
i know you chaps from crayon class are a bit dim..........but come on...............

So no facts then, that out of all shirts sold by the club, this is "definitely" the least sold.

Opinion dressed up as a fact, just as I thought.

worst SELLING City shirt... The ones that weren't for sale in the first place, so cannot be put into this category.

This thread is about the worst selling PL shirt anyway.

The Cardiff City 2013-14 home shirt was the worst selling premier league shirt ever, according to a giant multi national Sports retailer. The stores even in Cardiff and South Wales sold the fewest Premier league shirts of any premier league club ever, even with a massive reduction in price to try and clear them off their shelves.

The shirt was outstripped by many other teams even in its own City.

"You would always believe that teams in the top 7 of the Premier League would always outsell a smaller club such as Cardiff, but not teams lower down in the league".

"Retailers got their fingers burnt with this particular garment, and probably wont be rushing to stock this particular teams first team shirt again in a hurry".

But if he had let the fans design the away shirt, choose the colour and the badge, it would have been the highest selling away shirt by far....

I would say Next season`s RED shite will sell even less
you mainly only see young new kids in the Red kit
maybe a few dimbars trying to make a statement "look at me in Red" f*cking KNOBHEADS get real.

i think it'll be close, but we were getting awful attendences in the 90s. i personally don't think it makes a blind bit of difference as it was obvious from the beginning Tan wasn't doing this to sell shirts in our own backyard

great news!

This

Not a surprise since a percentage of the support actively dislike the home shirt colour, no other PL side has ever had an issue like that where fans boycotted the kit in such large numbers.
