GIANTS MERCHANDISE: PLEASE READ!

Right gang, don't wanna sound like the gestapo, but there is a reason for me asking for the following format.....

Please add, line by line and excluding reasons behind it, what you would like to see in the Giants stores for example:


PC Mousemat
Toddler sized kit
Better car stickers
so on
and
so forth
next

I can't go into why's and what for's, but lets say I could be making progress.

Many thanks all

Can i just point out that many NL1 teams have their own website where they provide games free of charge.

Here is the Dewsbury effort: http://www.dewsburyramstv.co.uk/

No reason Huddersfield couldn't do it either imo.

Looking at that list and comparing to whats listed on the website we've got quite a range already but it's not enough.

Personally--
More for the younger fans.
Official kits 0-6 years sizes preferably in full kit form.
Tracksuits again for the younger fan (they're more likely to wear these)
A cuddly mini mascot thing, we are unfortunate that we chose a mascot with such an head, but kids dont associate a giants crested teddy with the giants.
Socks, not playing socks but socks for all types of supporter good gifts for xmas and father/mother day!!

More choice of clothing
Collectable Figurines of popular players like they did for the NRL (I'd like them next to my Beatles ones im getting)
Posters of players
Canvas Prints
Skins for DS/Laptop/Ipod/Xbox/PS3

A better choice of casual clothing...when i have a weekend away or a trip down under to see my sis i love to wear anything emblazoned with the crest . We also send a lot of merchandise to her.!!

*Replica kits/clothing / coats for those between 2 and 6 years old ... obviously at that age they're not supposed to wear giants kits ?
*tempory tattoos a must .. especially with the rest of the kids covered in saints ones, whats the youngest giants fan to do ?
*cuddly mascot .. must be able to do 'something' with big G for the youngsters

Got to be others.. will have a think ..

redheads, with curves.

singlets( OR VESTS TO YOU LOT LOL) Great for people going on holiday to hot climates

Somebodys got to say it might as well be me!


How about a Giants Lingerie range (tho theres absolutly no chance of me getting the missus to wear any )


Seriously though there have been lots of brilliant ideas put forward and the guess is that the people organising are going to say its not viable to open a seperate shop just catering for our needs. But another idea could be an on line shop which caters for our needs TBH i personally would be prepared to wait a week or two if something i ordered had to come via the suppliers

Definately although some will look better in them than others

Agree with most posters, especially leisure wear, silk ties, DVD of all games. Hope we can get some of these!

Decent quality Hoodies/Fleeces - predominantly Claret & Gold iin colour .

Reasons - previous seasons stuff has been good but the grey hoody with white stripes looks and feels cheap. Its a Summer sport but half the season ain't summer weather and if I buy giants gear I want it in Giants colours - is that too simple?

More Leisure wear IMO , Polo's that can be worn at work as can't wear my replica shirt.
T-shirts ect and fleeces/hoodies, like the grey one the team and coaching staff wear, the one for sale on the website looks naff!!!

Exactly FP....when i saw the grey Kooga ones the squad where and the black and red training tees was looking forward to buying them but they bring out the naff ones !!

wrist scarf


- very simple in design, a small version of a scarf that fastens around the wrist and hangs down. I am sure the kids would like them...and adults too! I bought one years ago and still have it.


Gift Vouchers (do we have these)??

If unsure of sizes or what to buy a giants fan these are ideal


Big G money box - in the shape of the mascot

Would encourage youngsters to save and hopefully spend their money in the giants shop!

They do operate a Gift voucher system but you only get a ticket stating the price no special card or anything fancy!

i always remember hull fc having loads of nice trendy polo shirts..sometimes its nice to wear the team logo etc , but on a better quality polo shirt that isnt claret, something that looks good on a night out rather than at the game

Yes a black one with the crest on it and on the sleeves for example

I'm gonna close this thread on Monday evening, so please ITEMISE your idea's before then.

Thanks
