New Swag

I can't wait to see what our version of these looks like:

Would be nice if they were dark blue with orange trim...
 
For everyone that's "trigger-happy" on the Check Out button (like I usually am): I reached out to Fan Services to ask about the STH discount and got the below response.

"The merchandise discount will be part of the Cityzens rewards program, which is due to launch in a few weeks. Probably right around March 1."
 
Just got my two hats that I ordered from the NYCFC Shop website- a ballcap and a winter beanie. Was surprised to see my package was shipped from "Dallas Cowboys Fulfillment Center" assuming because they're Adidas products and just ship from there. Really like both of the hats though. They fit nice.

It probably has something to do with the Yankees company "Legends Hospitality Management" that does the luxury suites for the Yankees, Cowboys and MCFC. So I am sure this is just another way for one hand to feed the other.
 
Not sure if this is new to all of you ... but it's pretty dope

DESKTOP CALCULATORS!!!!!

That's just weird.

I don't get why we're seeing all this merch on these obscure stores, and none on the official NYCFC store.

Whatever that company is has had those things up for sale for months. There's the calculator, a wireless keyboard, phone cases and some other stuff with that same generic NYCFC design on there. They probably do the same product for lots of teams.
 
The stadium jacket and black training top and coaches jacket and one other one is available on fanatics.com

I can pretty much guarantee that these aren't products being produced by NYCFC. Either the company selling them has just paid a decent sum to licence the NYCFC name to put on whatever products they so choose to put it on, or they haven't even bothered to acquire the licence and are just putting the logo on without having consulted the club at all in the hope that they can cash in without being spotted. If they did buy the licence, it's possible that one of the conditions of the licence contract was that licenced products not be sold in the club shop so as to ensure they got a steady flow of traffic through their own sources.

Either way, it's not official merchandise so it's not in the club shop.

But aren't there things at various other stores that aren't at the NYCFC shop? The really nice zip up a few pages back on upper90 looks like its ADIDAS NYCFC official, and there area few things on fanatics.com like the jacket. Would those not be produced by NYCFC, but rather ADIDAS, who produce apparel of NYCFC?

Clothing is different, admittedly. I tend to believe that there's a lot to be told from the small print in contracts that people like us don't tend to realise, though. For instance, it may well be that Adidas have some special permission to sell new items of apparel on their own stores for x amount of weeks before the club then gets access to it (because they will make more money off NYCFC clothing that they sell themselves than stuff they pass on to NYCFC to sell) and so on.

This is the kind of thing that gets done all the time, but it's not publicised and no-one ever realises it even happens unless you are either involved in contract negotiations or you trawl through thousands of media articles and bump into the one case in ten thousand where these details come to light.

That definitely makes sense. Its the same thing I've noticed trying to buy Chelsea stuff- the USA Chelsea store, the European Chelsea store, and various other carriers of Chelsea merchandise all have different stuff, but it is all ADIDAS brand.

This beanie arrived yesterday. Its huge! One size does not fit most. Only purchase if you have a huge dome too.

Mine arrived the day before yesterday. At first I loved it, but when I tried it on I, like you, realized it is HUGE, as in actually unwearable. I'm going to try and send it back I think.

The training gear has to be official, and it's not on the NYCFC shop.

Would one of you guys mind posting a picture of you wearing it? I was thinking about getting that had, but now I'm having second thoughts haha
