[QUOTE="chris975d, post: 691865, member: 3766"] Not really a valid comparison. You have a MUCH, MUCH larger overall fan base there (one of top 2 most valuable football teams). The numbers of items sold overall will be much greater. It’s simply a numbers game for an apparel maker. You cannot uncouple the fact that GT is a very low selling apparel/merch brand from the gold discussion. We (GT) don’t sell a lot of “stuff” for manufacturers, period (low demand). Couple that with a very low selling colorway (gold), and you just don’t have enough takers. Heck, just visit our bookstore and actually people watch. I do this a lot actually, because consumer habits actually interest me. You will see people pick up more navy/black/charcoal items than you will gold, even when gold is offered side by side. It’s pretty interesting actually. Short version....buy more gold. Keep it off of the manufacturers closeout lists that Dicks, etc (even my small shop) gets, and you will eventually get more. Make it worth Adidas’ time...or Under Armour, or Nike, or whoever. And don’t be cheap. Buy it, and buy a lot of it. [/QUOTE]
