New shirt thread/Elvis link (no shirts yet)

I’m still finding the Elvis thing strange, if the 2nd strip is the “pink slice” then we’ve definitely gone obscure.
I like it tho, better to be quirky than boring.

We’ve never done anything like this before, but it’s looking for new ways to develop links, reach new people, connect existing supporters to a product emotionally. Anybody who’s been to the match in the past 2/3 years has belted this out pre-kick off. It’s gone from a song we sang to our song.

We’ve not released an Irish version of an SAFC shirt before, or an Armed Forces themed shirt. It’s just producing something something will buy, but they’ve chose the biggest rock star ever to help them.

We haven’t exactly reinvented the wheel with this either.

There’ll definitely be inspiration taken from Bohemians.

Nah, he was drafted in the late fifties. Basically the old blokes were raging because he went on the Ed Sullivan Show for the third time in a sparkly waistcoat and mascara. The previous appearance he’d more or less caused riots.

Even though they refused to show him from the waist down this time, he still gave their wives them feelings. He also insisted on singing a black spiritual song against Sullivan’s wishes. The blokes all said nah f*** this and it was announced a few days after that he’d be drafted. They sent him to West Germany for two years.

Just raging that he made their lasses hot and bothered.

Funny that as well considering the draft was meant to be a lottery, but there was more than a few occasions where it was rigged.

I agree entirely.
We need more themed launches, because we are blighted by the perennial whingers who moan about everything and anything.
They didn’t like our Pride LGBGT theme, they didn’t like our Irish theme,
but if we bring out loads of different themes then the penny might eventually drop. They are intended for some, but not for all.
It’s great business, so live and let live 👍🏽

@Longy mentioned Bohs. The club brought in more than €2m in shirt sales. That's more than any other sports club/county in Ireland. I didn't like the Kneecap, Fontaines DC, Palestine or Refugees Welcome shirts because I felt they were too political. But I snapped up the Thin Lizzy and Oasis ones because I support Bohs and like those bands. I got the Bob Marley one too. I love this seasons retro Billy Young jersey.

The Netflix documentary did help raise the profile of SAFC and the rise up the leagues is a good old leagues is a good old fashion football story. Wise Men Say before the game has become one of the scenes of the season. The Elvis link will push our profile even further.

Yeah, I was going to say that I too am not that keen on the overly political ( but I like St Pauli stuff) so it proves my point to spread it wide. Cover a few bases.

We could do a Bob Marley ( linked to 3 Little Birds) collection, I think that would be a big seller 👍🏽
