Quote ="Roofs"Actually yeah I think I noticed on their website the other day that they're doing them now. From an outsider's point of view I can't see how it benefits the club to have other outlets stock their shirts - if JJB take a cut of each sale surely it can't be as financially beneficial for Hull (or Rovers) as selling them from your own shop?
Digger?

JJB will just buy them from the supplier like we do (used to) at a cost of around £27. That is trade price excluding VAT. It is up to them what they charge.
The club wont get anything from sales to JJB I wouldn't of thought.
I am guessing there is a loop hole exploited by chains such as JJB and Sports direct.
I have been offered Rovers shirts by Kooga and Hull shirts by ISC as well as other stuff but on the condition we dont sell them in Hull.
I dont suppose Kooga or ISC can boss JJB about because they are one of their biggest customers.
Cant see any other reason for it but I bet the clubs are not too happy, losing sales potentially.
