Ports cap update!

So it looks like my enquiries have finally gone full circle and ended up back at the store itself. I had a chat with Ben (the manager) today who was very generous with his time and gave me a lot of info, I was pretty impressed actually.

Anyway here's the skinny.

As far as the store itself making Ports merchandise goes, probably not in the immediate future or as a cap, the PA monogram obviously lives in this space right now. However, he did mention quite a few times how much he liked the look of the wordmark on a T-shirt as modelled by our super sexy captain (see earlier ITT) and the historical angle of it too, so he would keep the idea 'on file' so to speak.

With regards to us making Ports caps DIY he confirmed that the Club would have absolutely no issue with it as long as we were only manufacturing them for personal use i.e. not making a profit. He was unsure if the wordmark was still/ever licensed by the Club, but even if it was it would be treated as if you put the Power logo on a birthday cake that you made for your 7 year old. No profit = no issues.

So there we have it. If people are still keen for Ports cap goodness we're cool to proceed.

Now as far as production goes it seems like it takes about 2-3 months to make it all happen, which is a bit awkward for me personally since I'll be going overseas for the China game and a few other places afterwards and won't be back until mid-June. I'd probably have to wait until I get back to start organising everything to make sure that I'm available to be in contact with the supplier (I generally don't take a phone or use computers when I'm O/S) and take delivery as well.

So if people are happy to wait (more!) I'm happy to start organising it all when I get back. But if people wants Ports caps and wants them yesterday then I'll have to handball it.

P.S. Women's magenta PA cap was a massive hit and more are coming in, as are the PA 39THIRTYs and 9FIFTYs, but the 59FIFTYs are deader than a dodo at the disco.

What a champion, happy to wait and will grab 2 please.

we (as in, you, whoever makes them and sells them) would be profiting though wouldn't we? when you make a cake for your daughter you aren't selling it, but if you made 100 hats for forumers you'd be selling them yeah? or no? just trying to understand how that works. i am down for a hat!!!!

Papp wouldn't be making a profit. Profit would be if he was taking more than how much each hat costs to make from each person here who wants one.

What Dylan said.

BTW each hat costs $99.99 plus postage and handling.

You aren't making a profit, simply being paid for your hours worked.

badbeats · Apr 19, 2017

I'll buy you a beer as well as a cap

But not a beer at AO, **** them

You could get a job with the SMA setting food prices at Adelaide Oval.

Does this question really need to be posed?

Contested Marx · Apr 19, 2017

assumed it was the 59fifty, in which case i shall have to rubber band the brim something chronic so it fits my blimpshaped head

badbeats · Apr 19, 2017

Personally I'd like a 39Thirty but if the majority wants the 59Fifty I can make it work

I'm willing to pay double.

I hear you... But how does it work if there's a plethora of different sizes required ?? Is that an issue ??

Yeah just make sure you say postage AND handling and you're all good

Just gotta take specific orders. it'd be annoying but worth it.

jonasshirtfront · Apr 19, 2017

Count me in for a Ports cap too, whether it's 59fifty or whatever.

SgtSchulz · Apr 19, 2017
