just checked out the online store - £24 for a t-shirt before delivery! At least the upmarket pricing has stayed the same. Joda are launching an online store early April as well, is this the latest trend?

Happy to admit I know nothing about fashion, but I know enough about branding to offer an opinion.

stickers on the bat look classy but then you bring a clothing range out in US 1960's font. Shocking. If your brand is upmarket then the clothing needs to reflect it.

There will be more designs added in the next day or two, which reflect the branding you're talking about.

However, if the first day's sales are anything to go by, these designs are popular...

It's getting there. Not sure about the black cat slim fit with the massive round logo on the back. Screams when it ought to be subtle IMHO.

Played around a bit with spreadshirt the other day, useful tool for this kind of stuff. No upfront costs and almost limitless designs. Lack of an Embroidery option and pricing turned me off after an hour playing around.

Expensive for what the clothing is imo. Not keen on the 'team' stuff, but the simpler designs look better as it seems to suit your brand more.
I like the idea of using American Apparel clothing as it's good quality, however it is overpriced. I own a couple of their hoodies and they're good as they're lightweight and have fleecing inside them but I'm not sure whether I would want to wear these for sports as I feel they're of a high quality so I wouldn't want to ruin them.

Also I'm not quite sure what this clothing is aimed at, is it aimed for people to wear during sports? fashion wear? laze around wear? The layout of the online store isnt great either, as there are a lot of designs going on. Maybe have one picture per design and then the customer can choose/preview other colours of that design when they click on them. It would make it less busy and give a nicer feel about the store, which would also add to the feeling that this brand is worth spending the extra money on their clothing as it would feel a better brand.

Most of the layout options are fixed. It's not likely to change but I think it looks ok.

I'd be reluctant to spend 24 quid on a tshirt designed for only two purposes. 1, to make money and 2, to advertise the company. It's a bit like paying for those ruddy monster energy stickers. Paying to advertise a big company.

The clothing is not for playing sport in- you could maybe do a warm up in some of the t-shirts/hoodies.  Mainly though it's for off-field wear- arriving at the game etc.
