It’s ADIDAS (again!) and KAIYUN SPORTS not MACRON, not BOXT, or UNHCR

And you are correct.
Took my yearly pop into the Forest shop this lunchtime and their bloody logo is plastered over everything.
So I took my money over the road to the Trent Bridge shop for some similar low quality (but much lower priced) Adidas merchandise.

Still spitting that I bought the home shirt for full wack at £75. Ended up getting the Away, Third and the Training Top elsewhere for less than the home shirt combined. No shitty Kaiyun Sports on it either.
Annoying getting bombarded with deals for kits being like £20 every week at the moment. If you can afford to sell off the remaining stock at £20, you didn't need to charge almost four times that, 8 months ago did you Forest?

The markup on football shirts is something like 90%, if I remember rightly.
So if Forest were charging 75 quid, a shirt was costing them 7.50 or thereabouts. So at 20 quid, they’re still making a decent profit.

That's retail 101 though. If they don't get rid of shirts over the next few weeks for whatever they can get for them, they will be left with a loss on a bunch of stock they've bought that won't sell.
I'm sure that most of the profit goes to Adidas doesn't it? And they set the prices I believe too.
Hang on I've only had 3 emails from Forest in the last 24 hours and only about 18 in the last week.
While we sometimes criticise the club for being crap at marketing, there is, Forest, and I'm talking to you here, such a thing as "a bit too much"...

And there's still over 2 months to go before the next PSR deadline, imagine what they will be selling off on the cheap by then.

I'm holding out for the DVD of Vlachula's Greatest Saves (Director's Cut)
Yes and yes.
„Shock News today from Nottingham Forest, as one lucky supporter purchases set-piece coach Simon Rusk for £3m, in an effort to offset the clubs‘ losses.
The unnamed supporter, apparently a local businessman, said Rusk would be a „massive help in correctly lining-up my collection of Garden Gnomes“ it was reported“.

I'm sure that Randall said in one of his interviews shortly after the Adidas deal that Forest make about £7-8 on each shirt. This is when they were priced at £75

If so that would be an awful deal. Sports Direct are currently going through a tribunal over rights to sell Newcastle kit. It was stated in that, that they pay £16.55 for Premier League Adidas shirts.

Apparently there was no increase or decrease in the amount Forest take on each kit compared to Macron. The benefit will be in the huge number of increased sales generated from having Adidas as opposed to Macron

Well, at least it provides more anti-Marinakis ammunition.
And as an added benefit, the Adidas shirts actually fit nicely, unlike Macron, which only fit if you have a body-shape like a Dairylea Triangle.
Excellent,you've just described me so might go and get one. It is all 16 triangles mind but it's still Dairylea.
We did go and buy my lads a couple of kits now they're on sale to he honest,look quite nice on them.

I really hoped we'd somehow timed a documentary with them in our promotion season. That would have been amazing viewing.
