Just wondering what people would like to see the Club sell in regards merchandise in the Club shop e.g

I'd like to see Tea, Coffee & Sugar containers
Christmas Baubles
Garden Gnomes
Dart flights
Goalkeeper shirts that go above size L
Car flags
Box of tea bags maybe (seen Liverpool ones)
Bottle openers
Alarm clocks
Maybe a section for kids bedrooms e.g Bedsheets, curtains, bin, posters.
Measuring tape (seen one at Sunderland last season thought it was unusual)

One thing in a personal opinion the shirts with the tower logo are really nice but id prefer if they had Blackpool Football Club or BFC under them, one thing I love is wearing Blackpool shirts with pride here in Ireland or abroad and people read Blackpool FC and makes great conversation and also I've made alot of random freinds with it, but over here and abroad I don't think they would know it was even a football shirt if it just had the tower logo, again to reiterate I do like the shirts still

Back in the day they did quite a few of those.

I've got Christmas baubles and a gnome for starters 😂
 
They did bedding and curtains too, iirc.
The higher up the leagues we go, the wider the range of memorabilia will be.
Common sense, really.
 
I'd like to see re introduced the little fixtures list that fitted perfectly into your wallet.

The newly introduced snoods for a £10 are good value , double sided as well and pass off as a mask
 
How about a miniature BFC cycling team?

Oops, tried to attach an image but it won't allow it because it's too large.

When we played Arsenal away in the Prem i had a look round one of their shops ( The Gunnery ?? ) and they sold toasters that left the Arsenal badge on your toast - i like the idea of the old retro Pool badge ( tower and waves ) on my toast 👍

I have a set of the Christmas baubles that Mrs TMS will not let me put anywhere near the tree. Something to do with doing the double over her beloved Liverpool in the Prem back in the day.
 
Whatever they get in, I hope they look at their suppliers. Their face masks just looked cheap and nasty and were completely over shadowed by the AVFTT'er who made his own and were 100 times better. We need to be thinking higher quality than Poundland which is what we look like a bit at the moment.
 
I've always wanted to see a full, permanent selection of BFC DVDs, from the '53 final right through to the present day, including all the possible season reviews, the 250 greatest goals edition, both(?) Anglo-Italian finals, LDV finals and any related stuff - Stanley Matthews DVDs, Prem games.
I did ask in the shop once but they didn't seem interested. I think they see that sort of thing as belonging to Amazon.

Thanks BFC76. Yes after looking at the new snoods available I can't help but feel they took my design in to consideration, particularly with regards to colour and design.
Speaking of which I had just ordered A couple of tube/snood designs from my supplier which arrived today, typical just after the club get some 😆

Someone's just said how poor the merchandise is on Twitter and I completely agree. You look at the range of things that other clubs our level are selling and we don't have half as much.
I went in to buy a cap and left without one because the range was so limited and all of them were something my grandad would wear.
It's the one area of the club that I would like to see improved. Obviously they've had so much more to do before they even get to that but I'm hoping in the next year or so they do get someone in to really sort it out.
It would be great for the fans and the club as we would have more range and the club would earn more money. I'd certainly spend more.
 
The club are definitely missing a trick, I went on the website to get a bobble hat, but the 2 options that we have aren't great. Instead I've bought a Cincinatti Bengals hat because it's the style I wanted and it's in tangerine and black. That's £30 that the club could have had if they had better options. It's 100% something they need to look at.

I'd love them to do an updated range of classic shirts to buy. I know they have the various 50s/70s ones available, but I'd pay good money for a decent replica of the bass shirt, the white inenco shirt with the blue dashes, and the home shirt from the 92 play off season (my kids size versions from the time don't quite fit anymore!). There appears to be a large market now for modern reproductions of classic kits (rather than just people selling their old shirts) and concept shirts but you never see anything for blackpool.

I'm guessing there's an issue with the copyright on those potentially though as when you look at classic/retro shirt sites then there's an almost complete lack of anything blackpool related thats newer than when the previous regime took over. Some clubs with much less perceived commercial attraction have loads of stuff. I'm hoping it's the club that own the copyright and arent allowing these things (or have never been asked) rather than it being something else the rapist has stolen from the club.

Would love an Umbro V neck with The Tower logo on it (Pembroke Hotel)
