While this isn't a groundbreaking idea, I think it's pretty practical and fits well with the team name (no it's not Yellowknife brand caskets but that's not a terrible idea ..........) it Wraith style cloaks. It's true that they are kind of lime sweatshirts but cloaks are alot cooler and stylish. What do the spirits and the Wraiths of the undead wear? That's right cloaks, they are warm, cover the whole body and and provide excellent cover to hid things underneath. What better type of clothing to wear in the cold, unforgiving landscape of Northwestern Canada? Of you want to walk with the Wraiths then you have to look the part and cloaks are a big part of that look. It's not a merchandising revolution but I can see Yellowknife fans all pver the world being excited to buy one. It's unique to the franchise and I think it would be a best seller for the franchise.

The merchandise I would create for my team’s merch store (Orange County Otters) would be an OCO designed scarf. This may seem counterintuitive since it can get extremely warm & hot in the area around Orange County, since scarves are normally used for warm weather. But, this would actually make a lot of sense. I believe the fans would wear these everywhere since they’re cheaper than most merchandise as they’re smaller. Also, this could prevent fans from getting sunburned if they wear it around their neck, which is a big thing for people who want to watch OCO games in the sun. I would design the scarf with a lot of detail. I’d make the color of the entire scarf orange, with white stripes on each end going vertically against the grain. I would place OCO logos all across the scarf centered vertically, each spaced a few inches apart. Lastly, I would make sure the scarves were made out of a fine leather so they wouldn’t wear out easily.

So in true Fronk fashion I will write about my beloved Minnesota Grey Ducks. The Minnesota Grey Ducks have some actual merch that was created by former GM and player IceBear. He has developed hats and shirts and is probably very not legal. But I have one of these shirts, a grey hat, and a blue hat that I got for free because the logo was a couple centimeters off center. I like the idea of creating merchandise for the teams and I have a few ideas for more merchandise. One would be a grey duck bill mask. We live in a world where COVID exists and a mask is almost mandatory in most places. Why not have yourself a Minnesota Grey Duck Mask that made you look like a true fan?
Another great idea would be a full hood zip hoodie. When you zipped it up past your face, you’d look exactly like the mascot Quackers.
If my team needs merch, then they have come to the right place. The first and most important thing is that the merchandise needs to always be affordable so that as many of our loyal fans can rep the team as possible. The next no brainer is multiple logos/color schemes/styles of merchandise to capitalize on the desires of the fans. Hoodies are a must, because everybody loves being comfy in the fall while repping their favorite simulation sports team. Hats are another gimme; can you think of a sports team that doesn’t have hats!? Beer koozies too! Moving away from the run of the mill merchandise, I think my team could also start selling some more abnormal things like cutting boards, pool floats, and perhaps my greatest idea yet: we should reach a licensing agreement with Hasbro or whoever to get our own version of Monopoly, because board games rule. We could also put different players on a deck of regular playing cards!
Albert Ruschmann might be a professional simulation football player, but he's also an expert marketer. What better way to market than to sell merchandise to his adoring fans? Having played for both the London Royals and the Colorado Yeti, Albert would of course have ideas for both teams, depending on the fans. For the Royals, Albert would sell lion masks, complete with manes, but with his face on it. Fans seem to love putting things on their head, or in this case, their head in something. This line of thinking could also be applied to the Colorado Yeti; yeti masks with Albert's face, or even Yeti feet.
Another easy merchandise item to sell is Albert's game-used items such as cleats, gloves, helmets, and so on. Although Albert is in the twilight of his career, he still has had some noteworthy performances on the field. He is certain that there are fans out there who would be willing to pay for these collectibles.
Big Slammu is a media icon. He's been relatively quiet this season as his career is clearly winding down but not much has changed about his popularity. He's decided to come out with football related action figures for his show Street Sharks as well as bobble heads. He's been trying to get his team to have a Big Slammu bobblehead day but the team has refused which has sparked rumors of growing frustration from the Slammu camp towards the Hawks camp as the season progresses. Where there's smoke there's fire and from what sources are saying close to Slammu, the bobblehead thing was overblown but did relay the feelings of Slammu being ignored and relatively unpromoted during his time with the Hawks. Big Slammu has decided to scrap the bobble heads idea and is instead giving out free t-shirts and action figures for kids day this weekend. The big free agent signing is trying to make a positive impact on the team.

The simplest option and probably the most relevant would be starting up a store to re-home abandoned and lost copperhead snakes. It is a serious problem, and these cute companions could find a wonderful home with any Austin football fan. It would require a lot of upkeep, training, and education for the staff, but between the excellent team and the wonderful fans, it is a no brainer to get these poor, lost animals into a loving home. There could even be cross promotions where season ticket holders get discounts on their own little copperhead companion. You could sell little snake jerseys to take home for the pets. Some snake cowboy hats would sell like hot cakes. The options are nearly limitless and anything is fair game. A nice large football shaped terrarium for the new companion. Get them a small television set so they can tune into the games and cheer on the team. The options are quite literally limitless.
Thank you to @enigmatic, @Kyamprac, @mithrandir, @Mooty99, and @Number 82 for some of the sigs in this rotator.
The Baltimore Hawks have released several new lines of team merchandise to the team store this offseason to celebrate a variety of things.
1: Championship Merch. Like every championship winning team, the Baltimore Hawks released special merchandise celebrating their championship victory in Season 33. There are shirts, jackets, hats and everything else embroided with championship celebrations. The most brought item is the “Comeback Kings” championship t-shirt with pictures of the scoreboard from Ultimus 33 showing the comeback Baltimore had to do to win the title 2: Team Goose vs Team Quick Merch. The biggest rivalry in the team is the battle between running back Busch Goose and wide receiver Luke Quick. So to capitalise on the rivalry, the Hawks merch stand release shirts, hats and flags for people to represent what side of the battle they are on. Do they support the running back or the wide receiver? 3: ThankYouBuckley. In celebration of Bruce Buckley’s final season, the Hawks have released merchandise to celebrate the career of Bruce Buckley, the greatest Offensive Lineman of All time. |
