I'd absolutely love to get merch off the ground. I had tried to look into it this year but things got away from me.
It's been a long goal to try and get an overall merch arm up and running, particularly using our logo on things like hats and shirts.
In the past the issue has come to quality control on small runs or single orders as well as margin on those being tiny. So getting good quality to you at a reasonable price was just too hard ($30-40 for a tshirt for maybe $3 profit, that obviously doesn't scale well to make it worth while). Going mass order route has other obstacles too, such as storage, ordering correct quantities of sizes and again coming out net positive is difficult.
The biggest contributing factor at the moment is time. 5 kids, little one not well, on going emergency renovation, work and a legal dispute with my neighbour (His power illegally ran 3m through my block and 700mm inside the boundary, his tree and broken and blocked storm water failed our boundary retaining wall and in the process of fixing my builder cut through his power. He wants me to pay for his power to be restored, I want him to pay for the wall to be repaired and the cost of the tree being removed)
anyway I just don't have time. If people can help look into ways to make it work in which quality can be assured and short orders will also work, I would be stoked for the advice and help.
Hpefully the other side of christmas I get a little time back and I can invest that in looking at it further. I'd also like to do say bumper stickers and send them out as a premium membership thank you

7 shades of grey?What we really need though ... is the slogan ... can't have merchandising without a catchy slogan ..
I'll start .... "Silvertails.com .. home of the Numbnuts"
Yeah man it's rough everything was so so illegal about his power and so dangerous.420mm below the surface at the deepest point and no tape, gravel or any warning. Scary as.I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you post for a while. Well that answers the question. Neighbourhood disputes suck.
Great idea feathered friend.Can I suggest some bibs for the biggest dribblers on here.
The kilt would be a giveaway.My fear would be meeting someone who asks what's your user name ... I'd have to lie to avoid a blue ...
You may have missed the point of the thread friend. I'm sure us all here have plenty of official Manly merchandise coming out of ears.Just got my Footy Club cap today. It's a nice looking cap, so worth the $30.00
