JJB say "Show your full support for 'The Airle Birds' in the 2011 Super League! With one of the fiercest rivalries in rugby league, Hull FC star players Sean Long and Lee Briars will want to claim the bragging rights over their near neighbours in 2011."

Yes "show your support for your club by buying Your shirts from us (JJB) and not your club !!!

Who is this Briars?

And i'll be saving a tenner thanks, should be a tenner off for pass holders, maybe this could be the protest

JJB sell 5000 shirts, how much do Hull FC loose out on? maybe the board will get twitchy

Good. The prices in the shop are a disgrace. £22 for a polo shirt that is poorer quality than one you can get for about £3 in ASDA and £3-4 for kids badges that must cost pennies to produce. I'm all for supporting the club financially but they take the piiss with some of the prices

i totally agree, i have not been happy with the club merchandise for a while, most on here seem ok with it though, it also shows the price the club could do these at.

I take your point but the likes of Asda and Tesco turn over more than £1 billion each in clothing sales. For a club like FC It's a very niche market with low volume and short production runs - would guess for some lines they only sell maybe a couple of hundred items.

JJB do a deal with ISC to purchase thousands of each clubs replica shirts so get a good price. A single Rugby team purchases thousands of just their own clubs shirts they won't get anywhere near as good a price.

Business is a cruel world.

Got £240 off me so far this year with my pass,so im off to JJB on Sat to get a cheaper shirt.

Do JJB sell the Pro Shirts?

No that is why they sell FC's!

Fair point!

Doing the same with Leeds shirts too !! JJB dont buy 10,000 to 15,000 Leeds or Hull shirts as the clubs do....they only get a couple of thousand so your theory about bigger volumes is incorrect.

But that's a couple of thousand x how many teams? They may well still buy more shirts overall than any individual club.

A couple of thousand each of Hull, Leeds, St's, Warrington and probably the new england kit will probably be more than any single club order, so they will get a better price - or maybe the clubs have a massive markup on their shirts!!

Jackpot

I just got mine from them and for an extra fiver u can have a name and number on back..i got Briars

Wonder if they will do Agar Out

I'm shocked you didn't get Dobson

Bah he can't even keep his place in your registered squad, he would not fit in here

richard???

can he play FB

What, surely he scores bonus points for been injured?

Touche Philb nice retort

The clubs buy far more shirts from ISC than JJB do, however JJB took a cream bun to the meeting with ISC and therefore were given rights to sell them



Cheeky buggers.


Anybody wanna buy a Hull shirt, £5 cheaper than JJB?
