11. Problem I have a warehouse full of jerseys out there and retailers are screaming for the teams and players I don’t have!
Every year it seems like we have the right mix of inventory going into the season, and then some team that no one expected to do well gets off to a 4-0 start and the team everyone expected to contend for the Super Bowl Is losing games.
Suddenly I have 1000s of jerseys I can’t sell and 1000s of order I can’t fill
12. Retailer states The Reebok line is great. We’re excited and anxious at the same time. [In the past] the fear was that one team jersey could be found from five different manufacturers at five different stores in the mall. Now the [question] is, will the consumer have to pay an extra $20 for a team jersey because it is from Reebok?
As a top-tier retailer in apparel, we’ll only have access to that one brand.
I think that Reebok makes great product. We just hope they can deliver because we won’t have options B, C, or D to go to.
13. Demand for NFL replica jerseys Customer demand fluctuate
Driven by the excitement and passions feel for the game.
One way to express their support is by adorning the jerseys of the favorites player on the favorites teams.
Hot market demand
Hot market item (demand), is an item that was either not expected to sell well before the season or an unknown item that had no prior sales expectations.
For example :
1. Some team that no one expected to do well gets off and
the team everyone expected to contend is losing games
2. Regular player become super star.

15. The sales cycle
16. Reebok warehouse in Indy
Contract manufacturers – Asia, but more and more are being moved to central America and Caribbean (Honduras, El Salvador, DR)
Many contract manufacturers – why?
Most sales through large sports retailers, and thru distributors.Reebok warehouse in Indy

17. Indy has capability to do screen printing – for NFL roughly 30000 jerseys per week. Case does not tell us enough about whether or not this is constraining….but does indicate there are options to outsource locally at 10% premium.
It’s more expensive to screen print in Indy than at CM
Reebok has postponement opportunity -- but it costs more to dress in Indy than at CM, and there can be capacity and/or QR considerations too.Indy has capability to do screen printing – for NFL roughly 30000 jerseys per week.
