On the topic of merch, who else reckons they need to revamp some of their ideas to accommodate for non-dorks and or/the youth of today (good luck with that).
For example. Every single little **** is rockin around in a SnapBack cap of either some NHL, NBA, NFL or college football team who they no doubt dont follow. Wouldnt it make sense to have a range of snapbacks? Sure, the sharks have their New Era cap range which is actually pretty good...if it were 2009 again. If I wore New Era caps I'd actually wear one of those.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, between caps, singlets and whatever, it's kind of "cool" to wear sports merch at the moment (even though it's probably cooler to wear some obscure college league team you've never heard of before) and that's an area the Sharks, and all NRL teams could potentially capitalise. Maybe. Footy in Australia is viewed by many as bogan...but US college footy, so much more sofisticated...
I don't get people. I don't even know what I'm saying.
