You’ve seen his work on the flags. The lad has a very good point ultimately and seemingly has a good idea what the fans do like vs what the club think the fans want.

I’d assume there’s contractual issues with castore and what the club can and can’t do, especially considering castore run the shop and not PNE, and then there’ll copyright infringements in using the clubs logo if he’s producing items without the clubs permission
 
Hence why he’s offering to work alongside the club regards design

Unless we’re acknowledging that Peter has also given away the rights to have any say in what any merchandise can look like aswell
 
Option 1: We don’t do it that way. We’ve never done it that way. We’ll never do it that way.

Option 2: We don’t do it that way at present, tell us more, show us examples & we’ll make a business decision on its merits.

Or: PNE current reality vs objectivity & possibility.

I get the potential contractual/copyright arguments, extant or not, but yet another potential commercial gain where I can see PR (🦕) as the potential roadblock rather than any of the former.

A new broom (team) have swept clean at gaffer/coach level, now that brush needs to target heads further up the food chain. For the benefit of the club and the fanbase.
 
909s work is fantastic but............

On this one Im not convinced the club are wrong. If they have sold exclusive rights on design and club items to Castore then they could be walking on thin ice regarding this guys work even being, "Along side." what Castore are producing.

My suggestion would be to take a similar route that which "North End Soul," has producing very sellable items that identify our club but is well away from anything that Castore produce.
 
Aren't we locked into a 10 year deal with Castore?

Lost track of what's outsourced and the length of deal.

I do recall a 10 year deal with one outsourced company though.

Sodexo is a 10 year deal.

Castore is "multi-year" - Newcastle's original Castore deal was announced as 5 years, then the language was changed to "multi-year".
 
I suspect Castore will just veto any talk of other companies producing products to sell considering they will have paid a pretty sum for the privilege and won’t want other companies coming along and making there stuff like second rate so they sell less
