Ugly yellow kit on Saturday

Buy a syrup instead.

Why are we not wearing our stripes on Saturday. Biggest away crowd for a very long time and the club urging fans to wear "the colours". Well "the colours", our colours, are blue and white and if the club wants to have a good showing of club colours we shouldn't be playing in that ugly yellow stuff.

Seems to me to be no more than a cynical marketing ploy to sell more yellow shirts. My guess that we have a lot left over as the end of the season nears and some clever clogs markeing person said: "I know, lets play in yellow at MK where we are expecting the biggest away following of the season and urge fans to buy yellow shirts which we'll offer at a small discount. That should shift them".

At the risk of repeating myself, we are a blue and white team and should wear the colours that the club and its fans identify with at EVERY opportunity, only wearing the second strip when there's a clash. Why would any sensible fan spend money on those hideous yellow or crimson shirts when they will disappear by next season and you will be left with a shirt which has no ongoing connection with the club you support?

Personally I am more concerned with getting three points tomorrow than what bloody colour kit the team are wearing.

I like the kit. it always reminds me of that Only Fools And Horses episode where they paint the Chinese takeaway's kitchen and mums monument in the luminous paint.

I know finances are tight, but are we really running a brothel?

Every little helps.

Where is El Presidente when you need him for Hard facts.

Factoids when he's 'quoted' about a statement he didn't make about Gus receiving a payoff in the accounts

 

[Uncle Buck]

It's the way you read it. I can't be bothered to explain it.

Your statement talked about marketing ploys around the yellow kit to buy players.

 

[Bigtomfu]

Am I the only person to have noticed that MK Dons play in WHITE with dark shorts? Pretty good reason for us not to be wearing blue and WHITE, with blue shorts.

THIS.

Clearly we wouldn't be allowed to play in the stripes.

Why are we not wearing our stripes on Saturday.

I think it's because the stripes are our home kit and we are playing away from home so we wear the away kit.

Hope that helps.

Sales of kit and merchandise brought in about £1.2 million last season, approximately 5% of total income for the club.

The reason why the Nike sales were lower than the previous season (with Errea) was that we were frankly, pants, and fewer people wanted to be seen in town in the stripes with 'Colunga', 'O'Grady' or 'Agustien' on their backs, or rifling through the bins outside Bargain Booze with a Paddy McCourt training top in hand for that authentic feel.

The success or otherwise on the park does have a correlation with merchandise sales.

That was quick bitch!

Have you got any away shirt sales figures or percentage of home to away shirt sales? and if not why not.

I think it's this AND the fact that MK Dons play in WHITE and WHITE is quite prominent on our home kit as well.

Admittedly it's a complex matter.

It's almost as though the permanently miserable, anti- club OP is running out of things to moan about.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Thank goodness they aren't playing in skins...it's a tad cold to be mimicking the players

Sorry the club don't give a breakdown of individual merch items.

When I read about the clubs 'push' for everyone to wear the yellow shirt I thought to myself, I think I'll dust off the old yellow Skint shirt nope #toomuchtimber

 

[Quinney]

It's a bit leary and I wouldnt be able to carry it off but the yellow does make life easier after a few beers at away games with my dodgy eyesight.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Hang on, isn't that 'volt' away kit more of a lime green - and not actually yellow?

No.

Could the sales of both kits and polo shirts be down to the fact that Nike do not make anything above 2xl as I am told in the shop. I wanted a blue polo shirt with the badge on but rthey do not mke them in 3xl or larger. According to the man in the shop they have never been asked for them larger than 2xl which I cannot believe.

 

[sparkie]

A Nike XL seems to be the equivalent of an Errea XXXL ( or I've lost a lot weight..
)
