Quote: The Ghost of '99 "Dare I say it just all seems a bit unnecessarily last-minute and amateurish?
The club's 2023 shirt will (should) be in the process of being worked on now, that's how long lead times are in this business; I just don't understand how a big club like Wigan can get themselves in this position with such a major revenue generator which needs to be available well before Christmas to fully capitalise on that market.'"
Tbh there are still delays on sea freight from Asia and also costs are the highest ever. Suspect the new deal irons out some of the latter. I think hummel shirts are made in Vietnam?
That said though, max. delay is a few weeks at worst and does still point to us and/or hummel just being slow and not hitting timelines. It’s not impossible to get supply from China to UK in 4 months especially as we aren’t exactly selling 1000s and it will be a basic (reused) hummel cut with a fairly simple dye. I don’t think there’s even any embroidery?
Rads is obsessed with talking about business and most of his job being commercial but there are so many glaring issues year after year.
