Title: APAT Merchandise
Post by: Chipaccrual on April 23, 2010, 15:20:19 PM
We are currently looking into offering players a range of APAT Poker Merchandise.

The items we are considering will include :-

Clothing

T Shirts
Polo Shirts
Hoodies
Baseball Caps
Beanies

Accessories

Card Protectors
Playing Cards


All items will be branded with the APAT logo (White and Yellow with the 3 stars)


This is not being run as a money making scheme, so the price we would look to offer these items to our members at would be cost plus a small mark up for admin and postage etc.

Obviously, the bigger the order, the better price we can negotiate.



Therefore, we need your feedback, to get an idea of general interest.  Please post, and let us know :-

What you think ?
What you might buy ?
Are there items we have missed off ?
Would you rather quality items or just lowest price option ?

Or any other comments you care to make.



Thanks for your feedback


Leigh

Quality pays for itself.

Playing cards are, at least to my mind, not a good idea. They"d be more for novelty value unless you can get decent quality (Kem or Copag).

The Sky Poker Channel 846 cards that were made were surprisingly good quality.

If by any chance you could source them from the same place then they would be worth it

I could see myself in a polo or hoodie.
On medals, did I miss my chance to pick mine up at the Vic?

I would get a polo shirt but am getting a bit old to get away with a hoodie.  Good idea though and I think the majority would be interested in some way shape or form.

Be good to wear branded items at local games

I"d prefer a zipped hoodie.

Prices will be as cheap as possible without compromising on style and quality.   Just like APAT.   ;D

Funnily enough, I"m looking into that at the moment.  If there is a demand then yes.

Could still get them, but it may be a little bit more expensive if it"s just one or two, but that would make them all the more exclusive.  ;)

Post by: Pears27 on April 24, 2010, 10:49:15 AM
There is something to be said for non-hooded tops, given the few venues that still won"t let you in with a hood on (e.g. the Vic).

If it is a hoodie, I personally prefer pullover not zipped but seems I"m in the minority.

Anything that won"t fall apart on its second wash ftw.

I would argue the case for APAT pants - with the slogan "there is nothing better than playing poker in your pants" on them.

The Vic didn"t have a problem with my zipped hoodie at the APAT UK events...on both days.

Perhaps it"s just non-zipped hoodies that they have an issue with.

Sorry Leigh dud give much feed back. Definetly quality items over cheap and cheerfull. I"d be interested in Jackets, those nice card guards everyone has but me, Duke has 3 , greedy gitt, even personalised items like polo shirts with Apat forum names in them. Hey to be honest pretty much anything.

Sounds good..any chance of a date when merchandise might be on sale?

Bristol are in the procedes of putting together a 8 x 8 team challenge on July 17th and i am team captain of "Bristol Apat team" :-)

Would be nice if we could all wear something "Apatish"...I am thinking a cap each would do the job?

Pull your finger out Leigh. I need 8 caps!!

 Cant go wrong with hoodies (zipped and standard non zipped with pouch pockets, good for keeping cash, ipods and sunglasses) Polo shirts will also sell well.

I think it would be nice for APAT to give all final table players a free shirt with "FINALIST" scrawled on it somewhere. just food for thought ;)

Hey Leigh, Any word on when this will be launched?


If I said "soon", I"m likely to get shot down.   ;D

The initial "range" is sorted, I"m just tying up the admin side of it around the most cost effective way for you guys to pay for the items etc.

Hope to get it sorted over the weekend though.
