Doesn't seem like a lot of interest, which is a shame.
If anyone can help get this going a bit, that would be appreciated. I know, as fans, we want to be involved, but it seems when we are given the chance nothing comes of it. We need your support in this to make it work and if successful, who knows where it could lead.
I appreciate the humour, but any serious entries would be appreciated to get the ball rolling

Any chance of an update on the other things achieved / changed by the retail panel?

Away shirt promo now this. fans are involved, so why knock it? There is enough about the club to knock. Thank you to all of you putting your time into this venture, still working on my design but will put one in.

Nice idea, liking the Arab name sach design. Just a thought but who owns the winning design that eventually gets printed? BRFC, the retail panel or the original designer? This may seem pedantic but you are assuming the winning design would have been submitted by a gashead and not someone trying to pull a fast one after you've already gone to the trouble and cost of printing. Maybe I'm just cynical.

If I won it the club owns it simple as that, the prestige of your design winning it is enough.

Now chewbacca has got his attempt at a cheap laugh out of the way I'd be interested to get back to the original point which was to know how the retail panel went with sales of the polo shirt design and the other stuff they're doing? Hopefully it's been a decent seller after the work they put in.

That's pretty good going, I would like to see some pictures of the designs, apologies if they are elsewhere and I just can't find them. Looked on the club shop online just now, I had to google it to find it as opposed to finding it on the official website, where I just found blurb 'Get all your official Bristol Rovers merchandise' and a link to a non-existent fans forum, I digress. When you get the new products done I'd like to offer to take the photographs for you as the ones on brfcdirect could be better in my opinion. Also Bristolpirate, what about that image in your avatar, I think I remember you had some of those printed before!?

I will make sure that is discussed. We don't have product yet as we are still trying to find local suppliers. The five items have been designed (the 1883 polo has been made previously in very Navy Blue). If I can work out how to upload pictures to this forum I will have a go, with permission of the Panel. My avatar image wasn't a massive hit. The amount of colours involved didn't lend itself to screen print t-shirts (lesson learned and why we are asking for one colour designs). I'm super busy today, but I will try and answer all of the questions asked about the Retail Panel tomorrow.

All I was asking was what else has been done or is ongoing, or is the purpose of Barry's group only to come up with designs for new garments?

An honest question deserves an honest answer... Firstly, the polo shirt sold well, out of the first order of 50, I believe there are just a couple of shirts left, they are in the smaller sizes.
As an overview, this is how I see things have progressed over the last several months: The team was formed by the club. I have no idea what the criteria was for selecting members. If im honest, I don't know why I was selected. The team is formed of eight regular members, a BRFC employee and BB. We have quite a diverse range of ages and a good male/female split. We have agreed the team should be expanded as and when specialist skill sets are needed. We have had some input with the away kit design and getting fans to choose. During the process we saw the home shirt design and can confirm it's a beauty. I can't give too much away, but expect blue and white quarters. As already mentioned, we have five leisure wear designs in the pipeline. We are currently selling phone cases that we have designed and locally sourced. We want fans involved with design, decisions and production of products.
Slightly more controversially, I think it's fair to say things have been far from plain sailing. I truly believe the panel was formed with good intentions and not as a PR gimmick, however it has been lacking a real sense of direction. Im not blaming anyone for this, as the club has no experience of this kind of thing. It's a sharp learning curve for everyone. We were never given an objective, so we have had to make it up as we are going along. The club never said "improve our webshop" or "improve marketing" , so I guess we have concentrated our efforts on the 'easy' option, merchandise. That's not to say this is the only area that will concentrate on. As chewbaca will testify, there was an early dust up. Things then settled, but there has always been some frustrations. Im fairly sure we were just one meeting away from disbanding last month. But now, having been allocated some shop space, the club have made a real statement of commitment and the ball is now firmly in our court. We now have an objective..."make six items of clothing".
