Also a limit of 5 per person so quite a few of them would be grabbing multiple.

Yes, that is bullshit

 

[Portmagpies36]

Like the old days of the Soviet Union - they've heard a rumour that some Levi jeans are available at the GUM store!

If this was the Soviet Union it would have been limited to 1 per person and anyone buying more than 1 would have been dealt with / never seen again

Any word on if they are they organising more?

 

[edgie]

I know.

But once the rum is set up making more of the same shouldnt take that much longer.

I was just at the club after work. Missed out but you can put your name down on a waiting list for June

Does anyone know if Collingwood are getting a cut of the sales? This is my only fear...

The PBs on sale today are the 2022 editions. They only produced a limited number (1950) with the hope of being able to wear the guernsey in season 2022 which was knocked back by Eddie (Collingwood).
Previously in 2020 during the clubs 150th year Eddie allowed for PAFC to wear the guernsey once during our HOME showdown and produce a limited amount of guernseys.
The club expected to wear the PB with the MG sponsor in 2022 and produced the same quantity of guernseys that was agreed upon back in 2020 between Koch & Eddie. Unfortunately Eddie denied PAFC from wearing it that year.
Once the new president of Collingwood came to power he didn't have any issues regarding PB, so the club decided to sell the 2022 version all 1950 of them that was in storage.
Going forward there isn't a cap on how many PBs the club is allowed to sell. So there will be thousands more PB in the future provided they already put an order with Macron as it takes roughly 6 months according to Tredrea via podcast.

This is huge. Another blatant instance of Collingwood actively stifling a huge source of income. I wonder if we have any legal case regarding restraint of trade here.

No Collingwood is getting 0% of the revenue as mentioned in press conference and podcasts.

these people should be reported

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I missed out due to work. They really should’ve made 10,000 of them available for members to pre-order

Surely they will take pre-orders for the new ones now that those have sold.

They would be mad not to.

As someone that has previously worked for a guernsey manufacturer

6 month lead time is ****ing attrocious

This would only be due to Macron having a filled booking lists

There is local suppliers that sub in for Macron for one off player issue stuff, Id be leaning on them hard to make hay whilst the sun shines

Yeh I’ve mentioned elsewhere 6 months is bullshit. Bookings/capacity aside, theres no way product of this type should take that long to procure.

 

[simba_]

to me the 6 month thing was code for "don't bother asking for the away showdown too"

It wasn't Eddie McGuire that denied it in 2022. He was already gone mid way through 2021.

It was current President Jeff Browne that denied it last year. Not wanting to rock the boat too much, and hoping that Collingwood still had its position of strength.

 

[Port2Power]

For all those annoyed and frustrated about not being able to get the PB today or tomorrow before the game well it looks like it will be here in JUNE (less than the 6 months timeline predicted for production of new PB)
Interstate members and supporters will be able to get them via the online Port store

Please don't buy it on Ebay for $300 Support the club not the thieves

The 5 guernsey limit leading to scalping is absolutely shameful. Just make it 1 adult guernsey per adult membership. I wouldn't have a restriction on kids, but the scalping would leave a pretty sour taste if you lined up and missed out.

 

[jdeezy]

Would love to know how many times Eddie talked about us or other teams needing to stop relying on handouts post an agreement to limit our ability to sell this.

I hope old Eddie gets to see this Guernsey become our home Guernsey in his lifetime. **** that racist, sexist, ableist prick.

 

[Greasyrhys]

No doubt hundreds will line up at AO today to try & purchase the limited ones they are selling in the east & south stands.

If it was less than 5 people would’ve complained. Most people were buying for a group. It’s a shame a handful have made it to scalpers.

I was there yesterday, got there at 815. By the time the doors opened I was in the middle of the line. It was all handled fairly well. Free Coffee and donut. There were people from the club, including Richo, who were letting us all know what was going on. Richo stayed out in the line the whole time talking to whoever wanted to chat. I did hear him say this lot were “produced by mistake”. Nice little money spinner as a mistake. He also said it’s a 6 week turn around on jumpers. Before more people wet the bed, they ordered more as soon as they were allowed to.

More coming in June, anyone who missed out on their size left their details and will get invited back before the next lot go to the public.

If it was limited to membership, they could have confirmed that before actually selling them. It's a sacred representation of our club, why give scalpers any chance to profit?

Richardson has outright lied, again. How do you think nearly 2000 jumpers are "produced by mistake"? They didn't just slip on a button. When he says mistake, what we should actually hear is incompetence.

Coffee and donut lol. How easily the sins of the past and present are forgiven.

The “mistake” was likely not the printing of the jumpers. I think I read on the Port Trade*laide group on Facebook that this lot of jumpers were for 2022 when we applied to wear it and got knocked back. The conditions at the time when we’d wear them was that we could only sell 1950 of them, hence the limited supply. The “mistake” in question here is that supposedly the bars we wear this year will have the red MG logo and not the white one, so positioning these as misprints rather than the truth that makes Collingwood look bad is probably the safest idea.

I understand why they exist. They were ordered without the confirmed ability to wear and/or sell them. Incompetence.

I don't care what the "safest idea" is. Richardson has demonstrated yet again he is full of shit and happy to push that shitty narrative to members/supporters. Also, the sheer disingenuity of flogging off outdated stock as giving the people what they want. EDIT: the fact that they enabled scalpers is a sure sign this was primarily a quick cash grab.

If Collingwood look bad they have only themselves to blame.

 

[Chokito]

june PBs will have red MG logos. Apparently the pi’s also have MG in red for Rd 3
