Kukri Replica Stuff : Sun Mar 07, 2010 11:22 am  

Did anyone order from the online shop and if so does anyone know when the stuff should be arriving?

I don't want to be critical of the club as we don't really have a shop as such yet because of the move to BL but I thought that shirts would be on sale for at least the start of the season proper.

Donny had their kit on sale when we played them in the friendly - mind you they aren't supplied by Kukri. And you can buy online from them.

I think the Kukri stuff is good quality but you can't buy the stuff if it's not in the shop.

Maybe a tie up with United's suppliers Macron would be a better deal? For polos t-shirts etc surely would be just a matter of having a different badge? Or why not just get the supplier to supply blank goods and get a local company to embroider the clubs logo.

However I can understand not wanting to carry a large stock because the club doesn't want to have stuff left on their hands

I've a tracky top and infant shirt on order. Were now past the arrival date I was given and not a thing. I don't wish to be critical either, the club have their reasons for using Kukri but this is the third straight year the season has started with no replica kit.

You'll never get into an infant shirt.

Kukri are a joke, there's a reason virtually every other RL team has binned them off.

Re: Kukri Replica Stuff : Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:40 am  

There must be a special reason we are still with them and why other teams have gone elsewhere.
Ive no idea what it is but im intrigued.

Still no reply to my email to them as well.

If anyone has any specific questions regards the Kukri supply, please contact me direct on mike.atkin@kukrisports.com A number of board users will know who I am, and I'm more than happy to answer truthfully any queries you have. From a professional point of view I'm not going to respond on the messageboard, but I can confirm there have been no issues with production or delivery of the replica kit this year. Please feel free to get in touch, and I'll answer your emails as I can, rather than speculating on here. Many thanks Mike

Ill drop you an email Mike. Hope your keeping well.

My only concern from a marketing and sales point of view is that very soon the season will be half over and no kits. Today some Blades fans who have started to watch us with our upcoming move are wanting to buy shirts and cant understand why there arent any yet. This is no a criticism of the club or Kukri but people will eventually give up rather than wait. Which nobody wants to see.

I couldn't agree more.

I'll reply direct to your email when I get it.

Cheers
